New baby animals on display at Wildlife World Zoo

On this first day of fall, it’s the perfect time to start planning outings for the cooler weather. One of your must-visit attractions this autumn should be Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park, where lots of baby animals are making their debuts!



The baby animal nursery is bustling right now at the attraction, because three different feline species are now on display at the same time.

The latter two species will be featured among dozens of others in the upcoming expansion nicknamed "Adventure-land" that is currently under construction along the state route 303.

The bobcat and mountain lions are the first of their kind to be on permanent display at Wildlife World. Their arrival, along with several varieties of foxes, skunks, and other native species earlier this year marks a new direction in collection planning that is focused on adding North, Central, and South American species. Other new species to be added include bison, llamas, black bears, and a host of mammals, birds, and reptiles.The entire project, including an all-new Mexican restaurant, is scheduled to open by early January.

It will also include four new ride attractions: a family coaster, a 100-foot tall zip line, a flying scooter ride, and a 100-foot tall swing ride. As with previous ride attractions at Wildlife World, animals remain the focal point. For example, as the swing ride ascends to the top, riders will briefly hover at the level of the tree tops creating unique views of nearby habitats featuring acrobatic spider monkeys, known for their climbing skills and prehensile tails. The new zip line zooms passengers over and among a number of animal habitats.
