Low Admission Prices at the Capron Park Zoo

by Eric H.
The initial attraction of going to the Capron Zoo in Attleboro, MA (near Providence, RI), was, admittedly, not having to pay an exorbitant amount of money to see a few caged animals. The visit to this small zoo ultimately resulted in more than saving money: we experienced an extremely clean, well-kept, easy-to-navigate zoo with a mix of familiar and unusual animals.

For just $3.75 an adult (13+) and $2.75 for children (under 13), senior citizeins and members of the military, the Capron Zoo proves that "big things do come in small packages," as stated on its Web Site. The zoo is set up to educate not only on animals, but also to inform on the importance on our environment. With a knowledgeable staff and entertaining and informative exhibits, this is not the type of depressing "unhappy-animals-in-small-cages-zoo-with-a-miserable-staff" we sometimes grew up with. The Capron Park Zoo features summer and school vacation programs, educational programs for adults, home school programs and story time activities, to name of few of its attractions that go beyond the norm in this type of attraction.

Of course, you'll see animals in a cage as well as those allowed to roam on more extensive grounds. Animal exhibits include North American river otters, lions, black and white ruffed lemurs, Indian crested porcupine, sloth bears, Indian flying foxes, red kangaroos, snow leopards and much more.

Surrounded by beautiful grounds that include a park with an amazing playground, you could make a day of it at Capron Park Zoo, and at a very affordable price.
