Not far from Boston, families can take part in the excitement this seventy-two acre zoo. A highlight of the Franklin Park Zoo is its three-acre African Tropical Rainforest. Here, children will experience the humidity and sudden rainstorms of a real tropical rainforest. There are plenty of hippopotamuses, gorillas, crocodiles, and exotic birds to see in this tropical sanctuary.
Young children will especially love the hands on experience of the zoo’s New England petting barn. Other exhibits include an aviary and a bird pond. Special events occur throughout the year including a family favorite, the annual Zoo Bash when Sesame Street characters come to visit and perform songs and shows. Call the zoo for details on this and other events, as well as, directions and parking. |
