My kids love this zoo, Popcorn Park, in Forked River, NJ. It is run by the humane society, so the animals there all have some pretty 'sad' pasts including abuse, circus animals, and various rescues. The coolest thing about this zoo is that the collection of animals ranges from Farm animals (cows, pigs, goats), reptiles (turtles, snakes, iguanas, etc), exotics (bears, tigers, lions, monkeys). When you pay admission to the zoo you can purchase bags of popcorn or peanuts to feed (toss in to the enclosures) the animals. The entire zoo is not real big, which is good because the ground is sandy and you can pretty much forget using a stroller. It gets the kids active - give them a box of popcorn and have them toss it to the animals.
The peacocks are free-roaming, as well as the geese. Alex has to be reminded to not chase them.
Only at Popcorn Park - The kids feed a Cow at the Zoo!
So, its not the biggest or fanciest zoo - but we love to go here!
