David Traylor Zoo of Emporia

About this activity

Here at Family Days Out we love a zoo!  We love seeing all the animals playing with each other, and even trying to spot strange and wonderful species we didn't even know existed (and there are a lot out there!)

David Traylor Zoo of Emporia (also known as Emporia Zoo) have reptiles, mammals, amphibians and birds all for you to enjoy, and learn from. Here's a question - do you know what the difference between a reptile and a mammal is?  If you don't, better get down to the zoo to find out!  

Say hello to the American Badger, or perhaps you want to see how the Long-Taile Chinchilla plays with it's friends?  Watch the Bobcat as it moves around it's enclosure, or have a good look at the Souther Three-Banded Armadillo - what strange features do you notice about it? 

Have you ever been out walking and seen something soar above you and not quite know what it is?  They have a host of birds here to look at, you can really get to know them individually and learn what makes the unique - from the iconic Bald Eagle, to the Emu, King Vulture, Short-Eared Owl and the Egret.

It's a great place to learn all about the animals, their habitats and their nature.

They often hold special events too, so keep an eye out for those - some you might not want to miss! In addition, they can also cater for school groups, including a fun week long experience!
