Maine Wildlife Park

So the Planetarium wasn't a big hit, but the Wildlife Park was! They loved it. We spent 3 hours there and only left because it was dinner time and the kids wanted to eat. They've all asked to go back again - we'll be going again when Bob's folks come to visit. It's not huge, but it was interesting enough that the kids really watched the animals and asked questions. Gabi wanted to take time to draw them all - the boys wouldn't wait that long though.

It was set up kind of like a zoo - all animals who aren't able to be in the wild. I'm not sure if the ones we were able to see were all ones who will never be able to be back in the wild, or just not at that point. But the place works with animals that need rehab so they can be released back into the wild as well. Unlike a zoo, though, the animals are all native to Maine - so, sorry, no elephants or Lions or Monkeys or the like...

I'd say it's certainly worth going to!
