Visitor tip
Bring $3-5 per bag to purchase animal feed and peanuts – visitors report that animals actively come to you for food, making for interactive and memorable experiences with species like the 'zedonkey' and other animals
Best time
Plan your visit for late March through Labor Day when the park is open daily (10am-4pm, last admission 3pm). Fall is limited to weekends only, and the park closes November through mid-March, so summer is your best window for flexibility
Visitor tip
Arrive early to see young animals and babies – recent visitors highlighted seeing nursing wallabies, ducklings, baby goats, and lambs, suggesting the park frequently has newborns on display during peak seasons

What visitors say
I honestly don't know why this place would have anything less than five stars! Hidden gem in Wilmington with tons of different exotic animals and reptiles. Clean cages, all the animals look well fed and cared for! These had to be some…
My children and I had a great visit to Tregembo today. We loved seeing such a wide variety of interesting animals. We also were very pleasantly surprised to see so many babies - a wallaby baby nursing in mama’s punch!!!…. Ducklings……
Always have a good time here. Sister date, we had not been in at least 10 years. Some animals were gone, retired. Still plenty to see. Great gift shop. Animal chow and peanuts available to purchase. $3-$5 per bag. Animals came to us…
