点评:What a great find! Was looking for nice day trip from Ct. to Mass. and came across Southwick Zoo. I’m so glad I did. This is a nice sized zoo, not too big or small. Very walkable for young families and young old adults, like myself.
It was very nicely decorated for Halloween. There were lights and different kinds of pumpkin displays everywhere you turned.
The selection of animals was very varied and plentiful for the size of the zoo. They had birds, giraffes, hyenas, snow leopards, lions, cheetahs just to name a few.
They had a wonderful deer forest, where the deer roam free, along with a few wild turkeys!
I suggest that you bring quarters because they have a machine that dispenses corn for you to feed the deer (50 cents gets you a good handful of corn).
The zoo also had a small petting zoo.

万圣节期间,动物园的装饰也做得非常出色。到处都是彩灯以及各种南瓜造型的装饰品。
就动物园的规模而言,这里的动物种类相当丰富多样:有鸟类、长颈鹿、鬣狗、雪豹,还有狮子呢。猎豹,仅举几例。
那里有一片很棒的鹿林,鹿儿们在林中自由漫步,还有几只野生火鸡!
我建议带上一些25美分硬币,因为那里有自动售货机可以购买喂鹿用的玉米(花50美分就能买到满满一把玉米)。
动物园里还有一个小型可触摸动物园。
