Catoctin Wildlife Preserve & Zoo

Something to see or experience around every corner. Plenty to keep you busy for at least a half day (longer if you take in a Keeper Talk or the Safari Ride). Bring some of your own snacks or lunch...

Have driven by this place for years and finally stopped. Amazed how big the place was. It went on and on. Monkeys, bears, petting zoos, tigers, jaguar, leopards and snakes.

I was very sad during and after my visit. The animals are overcrowded, sad, anxious, and display repetitive behavior such as one lone monkey who kept swinging in the same pattern over and over again...
