Come see our South American rainforest with free-flight aviary, then walk through the prairie dog exhibit with

"pop-up" viewing areas. Visit the New England Farmyard with goats, cows, pigs, sheep and other barnyard critters. Take a walk along the hoofstock trail featuring bison, pronghorn, deer and more. Before you leave grab a bite at the Peacock Café, eat in the Picnic Grove and take a ride on our colorful carousel. We can't wait to see you!

Slow down and savor the moment 🥕

Just one of our tortoises enjoying the finer things in life.

Some days you just need a good carrot and zero plans.

🐒 Mirabel is holding on tight and mom is not slowing down for anybody! 🌿

Black-handed spider monkeys are built for life in the trees, moving through the canopy with incredible agility thanks to their long limbs and prehensile tails, perfect for keeping little ones close while on the move. 🌳

The bond between these two is something you just have to see in person. Come visit them on your next trip to Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo 🐾

🦅 Happy National Bald Eagle Day!

On this day in 1782, the Bald Eagle was designated as our nation's symbol and we think Kodiak would agree it was a great choice.

Come visit him today and celebrate one of the most iconic birds in the world. ❤️🤍💙

🐷💙 Just in Time for Father’s Day! 💙🐷

Eight Guinea hog piglets born on June 13 are making their public debut at Beardsley Zoo in the New England Farmyard!

The litter includes four boys and four girls, all healthy, active, and already exploring their surroundings alongside proud parents Ethel and Harry Plopper. Just days old, these curious piglets are already on the move and ready to charm Zoo guests.

With Father’s Day this weekend, visitors can see Ethel with the eight newborn piglets. 🐖👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Did you know Koi can live for over 30 years?

Koi are a domesticated variety of carp known not only for their vibrant colors but also for their longevity and adaptability, often thriving in calm, well-maintained pond environments for decades. 🐟
