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 24, Santa sending his "ask".
Arty to complete, this annual task.

"Check in on the herd, my Sleigh Team Reserves,
Should position open, which most deserves?"

Upon antler he grasps, along for the ride,
Judging each reindeer, for best gait and stride.

Perfection required, when they take flight,
No room for error, this one magical night.

Faintly above, the sound of sleigh bell rings,
All settle in, to see what morning brings.

Good boys and girls, dream asleep in their beds,
The wonder of Christmas, filling their heads.

Day 23, Arty comes bearing gifts,
Each of their heads, lowers and lifts!

Oliver, Johari, Alora too,
Love language is food, to this long neck crew.

Stories are shared, over fresh leafy greens,
Both elf and giraffes, recalling the scenes...

Toy making, candy canes, reindeer games played,
Sunny days, laughing kids, memories made!

"Pleasure catching up, but I must depart,
Tomorrow the eve, I must get a head start!"

Out of an abundance of caution for the safety & comfort of our animals, teams & guests - we will be closed this evening Sunday, December 22nd.

Our location will see "real feel" temperatures below zero, in addition to continued snow drifts compromising our lot and paths.

We will reopen for our final days of Jungle Bells 2024:
Monday 12/23, Thursday 12/26, Friday 12/27 & Saturday 12/28

We apologize for any and all inconvenience caused by our decision.

Day 22, opening sleepy eyes,
Woken up early, black bear does despise!

All settled in, for a long winter's nap,
Dreaming of anything but the cold snap!

Unbearable chatter, holiday cheer,
Arty the Elf, unmistakably near.

Cole, staying on "Nice List", will tolerate,
Knowing his full day, is now a stalemate!

Day 21, cold blooded leathered lounge,
Soaking up heat, lamp rays Arty does scrounge.

Lazy days of winter, spent in warm space,
Cooler temperatures, slowing down pace.

Warmth dictates, reptilian rate of speed,
Luckily, also desire to feed!

Joy to visit, greeting elf with a smile,
Gators nicer, than larger crocodile!

Day 20, smell of love in the air,
Or perhaps fish, to be perfectly fair!

Four penguins total, but two are missing,
Then found in love nest, courting and kissing!

Lovebirds they've become, falling hard and fast,
Eggs been laid, possible chicks in forecast!

Privacy asked, so he bids them adieu,
Ty and Tootsie, alone in their igloo!

Adventure Awaits!

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. Our hands on educational shows leave a lasting impression! We provide interactive educational shows & parties with our "Zoo to You" programs year round! Visit our website to learn more & to book. We Care! 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, a herpetologist, animal behaviorist, biologists, educators and general care takers.
