What visitors say
Salisbury Zoological Park is such a gem. It’s completely free to visit (which is amazing), though they do accept donations—and honestly, they deserve every bit of support. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always…
Absolutely adorable!! It was enjoyable to walk around with my kids while on vacation. Animals seemed well cared for, one bison was missing a horn and was bleeding but it didn't look dirty. It was clean there, no trash on the ground.
Free to visit park that takes donations to help animals. Visited in Aug. with two kids 5-4 and both had a great time! The zoo isn’t a huge one and doesn’t have the best of everything but had a decent amount of enclosures with signs…
