The one thing, Arthur, the wallaby, enjoys more than peanuts is willow leaves. Clearly. 😄 It's going to be a beautiful weekend! Come see Arthur and maybe feed him a peanut during our Wallaby Presentation at 1pm. He's a great little guy! 😊 www.fortrickey.com

Arthur enjoys helping us clean up after windy storms 😋🌿

Happy Mother's Day! After flowers and breakfast in bed, why not bring mom to Fort Rickey for baby goat snuggles? Mom's get in free today with the purchase of 1 child admission. Thank you, moms, for the many things you do to make our lives better!!

For those that wonder what wolves do during an eclipse....😉 Well, Not much!🤷 Still...pretty cool event! Hope everyone enjoyed the cosmic experience!

Perfectly Natural Fun

In a world dominated by video screens, it is important to provide children opportunities to get outdoors and connect with nature. At Fort Rickey, children are encouraged to feed the deer, cuddle with the baby goats and pet the shiny scales of a python or the prickly quills of a porcupine. Even our playgrounds focus on natural play and exploration.
