Farmington: Nemacolin Woodlands Zoo (August 2018)


The Wildlife Academy at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort was established in 2006, bringing together animals from all corners of the world. Our mission is dedicated to providing interactive entertainment and live animal programs with an emphasis on education and experience. It is also all animal, all the time.

Visit the Wildlife Habitats which feature Billy Goat Mountain, red sheep, bears, bison, tigers, lions, wolves and more! Down the road, Nemacolin's Wildlife Adventure offers a nursery of smaller exotic and domestic animals such as a kinkajou, fennec foxes, a two toed sloth, rabbits and reptiles, to name a few of the over 40 species.

The Safari Tour allows guests to hop aboard our safari cart and experience a behind the scenes, interactive look at some of our exotic animals. Get up close and personal as you begin the tour at Billy Goat Mountain where you will feed and pet various breeds of sheep, cows and goats. Marvel at the wolves, tigers, lions, and buffalo as you feed them their favorite treats. And don’t forget the bear enclosure, where we hear the bears enjoy eating marshmallows. This interactive tour lasts approximately 1-1/2 hours.
