Animal Adventure will reopen on April 3, marking its 12th season of adventure. The park’s sister facility, the Preserve, will also be returning for its third year.

“With two facilities located in one convenient destination, visitors need not travel any further than Broome County for a day packed with adventure,” Jordan Patch, owner of Animal Adventure Park, said. “We are excited to embark on our upcoming season, sure to be full of fun, learning opportunities, and memories being made!”

Guests will be able to enjoy a variety of new experiences at the park this season including new indoor giraffe feeding, which will allow for access to the facility’s most famous animal residents regardless of weather. The Preserve will also be home to a new-and-improved giraffe feeding deck experience.

Additionally, guests will be able to meet several new animal friends. During its off season, Animal Adventure announced the arrival of over 20 new offspring, including three new female lion cubs, a miniature zebu calf, a water buffalo calf, three red kangaroos, and many more.
