Top Zoos in Maryland, United states

Green Meadows Petting Farm

Address: 10102 Fingerboard Rd, Ijamsville, MD 21754, USA

“Visited for the first time today for a birthday party. Had a great time. Everything flowed smoothly, bathrooms were very nice and clean. You can tell a lot of thought and planning went into how everything is placed. The piggy races were a highlight. Would definitely recommend!”

Glen Echo Park Aquarium

Address: 7300 Macarthur Blvd, Glen Echo, MD 20812, USA

Johnson Wildlife Management Area

Address: Salisbury, MD 21804, USA

“Thanks for all that you do????”

Salisbury Zoological Park

Address: 755 S Park Dr, Salisbury, MD 21804, USA

“My husband and I took our girls here yesterday and we absolutely loved it! They have the sweetest creatures living here. I was a little sad to see they had installed an interior fence behind the bison fence. They used to stick their heads through the main fence and let me pet them - so calm, sweet and loving. They're my favorite animals here - just gentle giants. All of the people here seemed as happy to be there as we were, very social, very kind, and also very helpful. We took photos for other families, and we had one family stop to take a few for us. Beautiful vegetation runs throughout the property. Each animal is well accommodated. Honestly, I could live in some of those enclosures! A great time at a great place ???? We even caught the prairie dogs doing something cute. This little cutie on the right got kissed by not one, but TWO other prairie dogs. I caught the second kiss ????”

Plumpton Park Zoo

Address: 1416 Telegraph Rd, Rising Sun, MD 21911, USA

“They have brought back their Zoo Lights experience in 2018 which was pretty cool. It was an opportunity to see the animals at night. Many of the animals are mobile at night rather than laying in a corner of their cage. They feed the tigers in front of you at this specific event which is cool but the highlight was the giraffe house. They had cookies and hot chocolate available there along with zoo keepers and volunteers to answer questions about the animals. My only complaint is, I wish they had more lights in some areas so we could see better.”

Grove Farm Wildlife Management Area

Address: 1989-2103 Grove Neck Rd, Earleville, MD 21919, USA

“Wonderful place to hike. Go east or west you will come to water. It has several parking areas and nothing else. No building no bathrooms. It is a hunting Haven so be aware of the hunting seasons. Right now it's the end of November and there are lots of people in camo with guns. Not a good time for a hike.”

Catoctin Wildlife Preserve

Address: 13019 Catoctin Furnace Rd, Thurmont, MD 21788, USA

“I've always loved going here. Great place to spend a day taking pictures and enjoying the wildlife and nature. My Wife and I always enjoy our trips here.”

Address: 7, Westminster, MD 21157, USA

Brunswick Dog Park

Address: 665 E Potomac St, Brunswick, MD 21716, USA

Riverside WMA

Cedar Point WMA

Address: 9761 Blossom Point Rd, Welcome, MD 20693, USA

MD Zoo Animal Hospital

Address: 3499002, Baltimore, MD 21217, USA

Wooton's Landing Wetland Park

Address: 4550 Sands Rd, Harwood, MD 20776, USA

“Great place to fish or just have a picnic. There is a portable toilet. Very clean and family friendly. I recommend stopping by if your in the Waysons Corner area. Grab a fishing pole, bait and lunch at the gas station right there. Great for a quick local getaway.”

Sands Road Park

Address: 4900 Sands Rd, Harwood, MD 20776, USA

“This under used park is an excellent birding spot. It's essentially a large field surrounded by woods. When the field has been mowed, it's fairly easy going, but it can be a little demanding when the grass is high. Boots and bug juice are helpful. There are a couple of basketball courts, but no other facilities. I haven't spent much time here in the Winter months, but Spring, Summer and Fall can be rewarding. It's reliable for Meadowlarks, Chats, Sparrows, Harriers, Prairie Warblers, Indigo Buntings, Common Yellowthroats and Grosbeaks. Friends tell me they find many more species. It's only a mile or so from Wooton's Landing, and I often combine visits to both places in a single outing.”

Clark's Elioak Farm

Address: 10500 Clarksville Pike, Ellicott City, MD 21042, USA

“Went here years ago in the summer and enjoyed it. Had even more fun this past week, going with my 2nd grader on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. Very kind, caring, patient staff. Fun hay ride. Nice pumpkin patch. Well-cared for variety of animals in the petting farm area. Clean portable toilets. I would recommend this place for the whole family, babies through grandparents. You can easily spend the whole day here.”
