Bear Hollow Zoo

This place is hiding in plan site. Small zoo with lots of animals to look at . The thing that surprised me was that this experience was absolutely FREE. I'm bringing the family here all the time because it's a nice place to get away for a little while and also see a Swamp Puppy up classes without getting eaten.

Free to visit with parking lot. Since it was a colder morning many animals were sleeping/out of sight though during our visit. Ones spotted include: bald eagle, barred owl, great horned owl, river otter, various snakes in reptile house, turkey, sleeping bear, and sleeping skunk. Animals not visible: beaver, deer, fox, alligator

We really enjoyed the trails that provided some pretty views and decent elevation. The free zoo was a fun little place to visit but be mindful that the bears are not active and don’t make much of an appearance until later in the spring.

Came to check out the little free Zoo. Did not see many animals as I think it may have been too cold still, Feb 1st. When walking through the zoo, I thought I was smelling spots of weed but ended up being a skunk they have on exhibit at the end. It was a nice little free stop. Parking is horrible.

Always a great zoo to go visit! It is free, but considering donating to their cause! It's great for injured wildlife to have a safe place to heal and recoup even if they stay for the rest of their life. The animals are much more active in moderate weather so it's a good thing to do for the family when it's "too cold" for long trips out but not "too hot" for regular summer activities.
