Animal Adventure is a Zoological Association of America (ZAA) accredited interactive educational animal park, nestled in the hills of Harpursville, NY, just 15 minutes outside of Binghamton. Our goal is to communicate an appr

eciation for living things through the use of the human senses; allowing our guests to get up close and hands on with our animal ambassadors. Home to over 100 species! The unique experience of hand feeding 100s of animals. Being neck and neck with our giraffes, spotting an emerging kangaroo or rubbing elbows with our antelope, engages and educates guests of all ages. Through understanding and appreciation, we achieve education! Education leads to preservation and conservation! Many schools and organizations have joined us for group visits, as a source of educational entertainment! Visit our site to learn more about groups and group rates! We are accredited by the Zoological Association of America (ZAA), the first in New York State! We are Federally licensed by the USDA; ensuring that our animals, their care, and facilities meet the same standards of zoos and aquariums in the US. Our staff boasts zoologists, animal behaviorist, biologists, educators and general care takers.

Visit our sister-facility, The Preserve, an interactive, educational drive thru adventure, hosted on over 100 acres in beautiful upstate New York. Home to 100s of animals, your self-driven adventure will take you through grassland, scrub brush, and deep forests as you explore and experience geographically designated paddocks: Aussie Eurasia, The Americas, Africa & Giants of Africa. Our interactive experience will allow guests to offer our fortified diets to the animals that call the preserve home. Being a "free choice" space, the animal inhabitants can choose if they wish to engage guests in their vehicles. You are joining them, in their environment! We guarantee no two visits are ever the same! Bring your camera for breathtaking views and amazing animal encounters!

Day 8, change in weather, a welcomed thaw,
Today the main park, Arty does withdraw…

On safari, excitement does await,
The Preserve, on foot, an uncertain fate.

Roaming amongst, numerous diverse herds,
Cattle, equine, even tall standing birds!

Quickly discovered, atop the feed trough,
Red deer careful, not to knock Arty off.

Deep in thought, mastering his next scheme,
Tomorrow, North Pole, will hear his scream!

Day 7, eye to eye, two meeting eight,
Unexpected greeting, having slept late!

Rosie so careful, gentle to not wake,
Giving poor Arty, extra "zzz"s to take.

Frozen in fear, very much not asleep,
Both shocked and tickled, by her fuzzy creep!

Lover, not a biter, lucky for our elf,
Hazardous life, when venturing off shelf!

Day 6, a species, quite hard to pronounce,
Coatimundi, trees to ground, they bounce!

Designed by nature, true troublemaker,
Holiday time, "Naughty List" partaker!

Fresh pressed red hat, will now quickly depart,
Getting it back from Chester, a form of art!

Monkey in middle, but no monkey in sight,
Round and round, they will go,long day will turn night.

To keep his safe distance, not in Arty's playbook,
What fun would be had, with conservative outlook?

Day 5, bit bruised, both body and ego,
Enlisting help, the King, his amigo!

Building back confidence, tomorrow new day,
But, top of the "throne", for now Arty will stay!

Subjects on notice, one powerful roar,
"Arty not to suffer kick, bite, or gore!"

Solomon strong, with his point and his stance,
Twenty more days, perhaps elf's only chance!

Hundreds of acres, have heard the decree,
How long it will last, we will have to see!

Happy !🐆

We’re proud to join friends, partner organizations and animal lovers everywhere in raising awareness for these absolutely incredible animals!

Famously known for being the fastest land animal on the planet, cheetahs are listed as a ‘vulnerable’ species as they face continued threats from loss of habitat, human-animal conflict, and a decrease of available prey in the wild.

Animal Adventure is a proud member of the Zoological Association of America's Animal Management Plan to assist in cheetah conservation efforts across the globe.

Today, and every day, we celebrate our brothers Amiri and Taavi for being incredible ambassadors for their species and bringing awareness to the plight of cheetahs around the world!

Day 4, on the hunt, early morning stroll,
Break he takes, atop turned over food bowl.

In search of elusive, "Cosmo the Rare",
Gulp! Feeling the eyes, white kangaroo stare!

Long toes and tail, allow quiet progress,
Position to pounce, ready to aggress.

"Ding, ding, ding", bell strikes mark start of round one,
Glove up Arty, boxing match has begun!

A jump, and a kick... a jab, and a grab,
Today is everything, other than drab!

Day 3, a boisterous banter and squawk,
All making sense, Arty part of the flock!

Old friends catching up, a history so rich,
Stories a plenty, but to begin with which?

Both founding Fathers, a fact very few know,
From the beginning, twelve seasons ago!

Foster the macaw, “status” became name,
Perch in the park, location always the same!

From opening day, and humble beginnings,
To now busiest of years, feeling like extra innings!

Day 2, in the snow, with biggest of clowns,
Laughing hyenas, always grins, no frowns!

Arty gets the ball rolling, perfect rotation,
Every great snowman, needs solid foundation!

Zuri lazily watches, his magic at work,
Knowing the routine, each year like clockwork...

Creation of a marvelous "beaut"...
Although, Arty's efforts, are sadly moot...
Unintentional, the hyena, a brute...
Snowman gone with just, a flick of her snoot!

Same fun will be had, next year like the last,
Between beast and elf, the tradition, steadfast!

Day 1, first stop, water has caught his eye,
Not yet out of gift shop, new friends he does spy!

Salamander or frog... perhaps snake, or lizard...
But neither has walked, hopped, nor slithered!

Aquatic by nature, moves by stroke and waddle,
THESE two must be, the park's new axolotl!

Axel and Rose, Arty has heard of them plenty,
North Pole all a buzz, on the lists made by many!

Plush, shirts, and toys... hats, blankets and books,
Capturing hearts and minds, with their unusual looks!

Animal Adventure is an interactive educational animal park, nestled in the hills of Harpursville, NY, just 15 minutes outside of Binghamton. Only minutes of I-88. Our goal is to communicate an appreciation for living things through the use of the human senses; allowing our guests to get up close and hands on with our animal ambassadors. The unique experience of hand feeding 100s of animals, being neck and neck with our giraffes, and spotting an emerging kangaroo or wallaby joey, will engage and educate guests of all ages. Through understanding and appreciation, education can flourish! Many local families, schools, and organizations have invited us to share this message with their students, residents, and guests.
