“We did the owl connection with Nick. He was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly. It wasn't busy that day so he even gave us a "private" tour and answered all our questions about the other animals. Highly recommended!”

“They are working hard to provide a better life for their rescued animals. I hope they can receive more fundings. Staffs are helpful. I also gained a chance to touch the chinchilla, she/he (sorry I forgot) is so soft!”

Overview
Animal Adventures operates two Massachusetts locations - Bolton and Hubbardston - and focuses on rescued animals given a second chance. General admission includes self-guided zoo access, goat feeding, and bunny petting. Animal presentations run multiple times daily. Add-on encounters let visitors pet chinchillas, meet owls one-on-one with knowledgeable staff, or go hands-on with a capybara during a dedicated 15-20 minute session.
