Animal Safari: York’s Wild Kingdom

If you love animals, then this is the program for you! Join us for an animal safari where we will be taking a virtual trip to check out and learn about new animals each week. This week we will be visiting York’s Wild Kingdom.

York’s Wild Kingdom, located in York Beach, Maine, is a unique combination of a zoo and amusement park. Established in 1980, this family-friendly destination is situated on 25 acres of scenic New England landscape and has been a beloved spot for nearly seven decades.

Key features of York’s Wild Kingdom include:

• A diverse array of exotic and native animal species, including lions, tigers, giraffes, and more.
• The Butterfly Kingdom, a 5,500 square foot exhibit with many species of South and Central American butterflies.
• An amusement park section with a variety of family rides, a miniature golf course, and a petting zoo.
• Additional facilities like concession stands, a gift shop, and educational programs.

The park is recognized for its rare species and knowledgeable curators, offering visitors a unique and memorable experience that combines the wonders of a traditional zoo with the thrill of an amusement park.

York’s Wild Kingdom is a privately owned establishment and does not receive state or federal funding. It relies on profits for veterinary care, animal diets, exhibit maintenance, and other expenses involved in housing and caring for animals.
