About Southwick's Zoo:

Southwick's Zoo, independently-owned and beautifully located on 330 acres in the heart of Massachusetts' scenic and serene Blackstone Valley, is arguably New England's finest zoo. It is simply more fun than a barrel of monkeys, a prime New England travel destination for children and adults.

This is not your typical zoo. On the premises is EARTH Limited, a non-profit organization with a mission to educate people about environmental issues, with a main focus on animal ecology, endangered species and threatened habitats through the use of live animal presentations and hands-on activities.

Southwick's houses hundreds of animals, many of which are endangered species. You'll see the usual suspects such as giraffes, lions, tigers, monkeys and kangaroos along with lesser known animals like a pygmy goat, ankole bulls and Nilgai antelope. An extensive array of birds and reptiles will satisfy fans of those species.

For pure kid's fun, the "rides" section and play park have as much appeal as the animal displays. Here, children can ride elephants, camels, ponies and have fun on kiddie rides and a long slide. The playground's play structure is a recycler's dream made from 2, 424 plastic containers, 27,608 aluminum cans and 10 car tires, according to Southwick's literature.
