Named after Roger Williams, the man who founded the fine city of Providence, Rhode Island, the Roger Williams Park Zoo is a fascinating place to visit. Whether you have an interest in zoology or just like looking at pretty animals, you won't be able to walk around the park zoo without learning a new thing or two. The zoo is home to over 1000 animals that represent almost 140 different species. Each animal is placed in a naturalistic setting. You won't find any reptile or amphibian marked with ear tags at the Roger Williams Park Zoo.
There are animals representing countries and continents from all over the world. There are plenty of insects, mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians from North America, South America, Africa and Australia, just to name a few. You'll see exotic species, wildebeests, zebras, elephants, giraffes, bald eagles, anacondas, bats, emus, laughing kookaburras and so much. Those are only a few of the species you'll encounter while spending time at the zoo.
There are so many others that if we listed them all, you'd be reading this article for days and not leaving your room to actually go to the zoo. There are so many animals in so many different settings that there is no way you can only visit the zoo once and come away satisfied.

The park zoo is a great place to bring the whole family to. The kids can spend time looking at animals they could have never dreamed existed before. While the kids are off gazing at the animals and figuring out ways to get through the wire duct and somehow pet the animals, you can go off and hit up the peaceful Feinstein Junior Scholar Wetlands Trail and just unwind with nature. You're guaranteed to have fun when visiting the Roger Williams Park Zoo. |
