R W Commerford and Sons is a Connecticut-based animal exhibition company headquartered in Goshen, Litchfield County, that operates traveling petting zoo events and live animal shows throughout the northeastern United States. The collection has included exotic animals such as camels, ring-tailed lemurs, kangaroos, zebras, and elephants, which have appeared at fairs, festivals, and private events under the Safari Amusements banner. The company also hosts Kids Fun Fairs featuring petting zoo experiences, carnival games, and rides. Founded decades ago by Bob Commerford, the business brings live animal encounters to communities and event venues across the region, providing families with opportunities to interact with and learn about a variety of exotic and domestic species outside of a traditional zoo setting.
