Location: Goshen, Connecticut
Years Active: 1989 – Active
Action Wildlife Foundation isn’t your standard zoo. This place is wild. They’ve been around since 1989, tucked away in Goshen, Connecticut. It’s all about getting up close with amazing creatures, but there’s a conservation mission running deep too.
Get ready to see animals you won’t find anywhere else in the state. Bison? Check. Kangaroos? Yep, they have those too. You’ll drive through huge spaces where these animals roam. The staff is full of wildlife nerds – they’ll answer all your burning questions.
This place throws some awesome parties. Their Wildlife Festival is a blast, but my favorite is the Holiday Lights Spectacular. Word on the street is they’re planning something even bigger – more animals, more space to explore.
