Roanoke Virginia’s Mill Mountain Zoo

November 29th, 2008

One of the most consistent and popular draws in Roanoke, Virginia is the Mill Mountain Zoo. This zoo, in addition to providing exhibits that feature some very rare and exotic animals, helps to make certain those animals exist into the future by participating in programs designed to keep their gene pool alive, making it an important, as well as an entertaining destination.Those who tend the animals at the Mill Mountain Zoo are endlessly dedicated to the wellbeing of their charges. Here, 35 species make their homes, looked after by the staff who also work with the public to help educate them about the lives of these fascinating animals. The facility is intimate, set on 5 acres which makes it perfect for a relaxing afternoon learning about the animal kingdom without dealing with the crowds, parking problems and expenses characteristic of larger zoos. It also allows families to see the animals more closely and to gain a greater appreciation for the natural history of the world, a history in which we all share.For more information, the Mill Mountain Zoo maintains a website at MMZoo.com which details the hours of operation and animals in residence.
