Space Farms Zoo & Museum

Space Farms Zoo & Museum is a family-owned attraction with live animals and multiple museum buildings housing antique cars, dolls, farm equipment and Americana. The site traces to 1927 and combines a 100-acre outdoor zoo with indoor exhibits across several historic structures.

Open daily with combined zoo-and-museum admission, the venue highlights over 500 animals of more than 100 species alongside themed collections of firearms, carriages, motorcycles and toys. Expect a mix of outdoor animal viewing and concentrated indoor museum displays.

Walk a mix of outdoor paths and indoor museum rooms; some exhibits are in older buildings with uneven floors.

Look out for:

• Big cats, bears, lemurs and kangaroos among the zoo’s 500+ animals.

• Multiple museum buildings with more than 50 antique cars and 500+ dolls.

• Early-American farm equipment, firearms and carriage displays.

• A miniature circus and Americana collections spread across several small galleries.
