MORE INFORMATION: Are you looking for Maine Wildlife? Visit us on Route 26 in Gray, just 3.5 miles from Maine Turnpike Exit 63. This is one of your only guaranteed opportunities to see a moose; along with white-tailed deer, black bears, bald eagles, mountain lions, porcupines, coyotes, owls, native turtles, trophy trout, and more – over 25 species of native Maine wildlife! Many of the animals at the park were brought here because they were injured or orphaned, or because they were human dependent – raised, sometimes illegally, in captivity. The park serves as a permanent home for wildlife that cannot survive in the wild. There are nature trails and wildlife gardens to enjoy, interactive exhibits to view, a ‘snack shack’ selling ice cream, candy and snacks, a nature store and gift shop; and more! The park is a shady and cool spot to visit in the summer under massive white pine trees. Fall is also a great time to visit: the summer crowds are gone, the wildlife displays their winter coats and antlers, and the fall foliage is lovely. The park-like setting, wildlife exhibits, and many flower gardens make this an inviting stop. Bring a picnic and spend the day! No reservations are required.
Season: Open daily, 9:30am-4:30pm from April 15 to November 11. Admission fees.
Additional Amenities & Services: moose and wildlife watching, nature store, nature trails, wildlife photography, kids activities
