From collectors
Scovill Zoo is home to more than 500 animals spanning six continents. Visitors can see South African Cheetahs, an Australian Wallaby, or Golden Lion Tamarins from Brazil. An exciting Zebra habitat, featuring beautiful Kebras Kizuri and Chad, was added in the summer of 2007. Today, the zoo is home to hundreds of animals with Camels, Wolves, Monkeys and more! Visitors also enjoy our unique attractions, the Z.O. & O. Express and Endangered Species Carousel, a beautiful work of art, specially designed for Scovill Zoo.
Sadly, the old flamingo zoo logo press is gone, but we now have a machine with three design options. Each says Scovill Zoo.:
1) Bactrian camel,
2) Wolf,
3) Tortoise.
Accessible without paying admission. It is to the left inside the entrance, before the bathrooms. You can park and then walk to the Children's Museum as it is only about 200 yards down the street.
7/18/19 - Machine is still operational.
