My parents came to visit this weekend and stayed at SpringHill Suites, one of several hotels in Hershey. I was looking for something to do with them for a few hours and I knew they hadn’t been to a zoo since I was a kid, so we took them to ZooAmerica. I would have to say that my parents, who are in their late 60’s, enjoyed it as much as my 8 year old son.
There are approximately 75 different types of animals living in natural habitats at the Zoo. The animals all come from North America and range from snakes to buffalo. The plants growing at the Zoo also come from across North America and have signs letting you know what types they are as well.
Overall it was a great couple of hours with my family. I would recomend this to anyone who has a an hour or two to walk around. You can also take a picnic lunch along with you if you would like to spend more time outdoors!!
