Yes, we have walkways and ramps to most exhibits. We also have 3 motorized scooters that can be rented on a first come first serve basis for $4 per hour. ID must be held at the gift shop until the scooter is returned.
Are pets or service dogs allowed?
No. We have several species of birds roaming free in the park, and we are considered an open-air aviary. In addition, several of our animals see dogs as a threat, and they could potentially panic or attack, causing injury to themselves, the service animal, or park visitors.
Can I bring my own food for the animals?
No. Due to federal animal safety laws, only food provided by the park may enter the park to be fed to our animals. Anyone who violates this policy will be removed from the park without refund.
Can I leave and come back?
Yes! You may leave at any time and return. Just show your receipt upon reentry.

Our concession stand is open on Saturdays and Sundays, weather permitting. There are small snacks available for purchase and we have several beverage vending machines throughout the park available daily.

Buy a Season Pass →Can I use my season pass at other locations?
Yes, season passes can be used at both Living Treasures locations (New Castle & Jones Mills) and Keystone Safari (Grove City). The season pass will grant you access to the walking circle animal exhibits. The safari bus rides and zip line challenge courses will be extra.
What happens to the animals in winter?
Most of the animals have access to heated buildings or shelters and can go in and out as they please. The more temperature sensitive animals are moved into our heated buildings. We have over 10,000 square feet of heated area to ensure all of the animals are safe and comfortable during the winter.
What Visitors Are Saying
“We did the sloth encounter and it was the highlight of our entire vacation. The handler was so passionate and let us take our time. Absolutely magical experience for our family.”

“This place is a hidden gem. Way better than the big zoos — you actually get to interact with the animals. Our 4-year-old still talks about feeding the bears. We drive an hour each way and it is always worth the trip.”

“We visited for the first time this summer and were absolutely blown away. The kids got to feed goats, llamas, and even a camel! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We bought season passes before we even left.”
