Our beloved Salisbury Zoo celebrated a major milestone this past weekend…the 60th Anniversary! With cake, animals, games, performance, vendors and more, we couldn’t resist a trip to Salisbury for the fun-filled event.
The Salisbury Zoo was founded in 1954 when many animals were placed on permanent exhibition in the Salisbury City Park. The zoo made improvements in the 1970’s and now provides enclosures for species native to North, Central and South America. The Zoo is open every day, year round from 9AM to 4:30PM except for Christmas and Thanksgiving Day. The best part about this wonderful spot… it’s free! One of our favorite pastimes is taking a picnic to the Salisbury Park and then heading to the zoo afterwards. The Salisbury Zoo also takes great pride in the events they hold each fall and holiday season. With tons of space and a great exhibition area, it’s no wonder that they like to show off their beautiful landscape. Some of the conservatory areas include wolves, deer and turkey, jaguar, owls, bison, llama, waterfowl, bobcats, tropical birds, monkeys, flamingos, bears and otters.
We had a blast at the party, take a look at a few of the animals we met too:
