Animal Farm Petting Zoo

Animal Farm Petting Zoo is Long Island's original family petting zoo, a beloved 10-acre nonprofit attraction in Manorville, New York, operating since 1981 under the stewardship of the Long Island Zoological Society. The farm is home to a wonderful array of rescued animals including mini cows, ponies, monkeys, emus, and parrots, alongside many other species that have been given a safe and loving home after being unwanted or in need of care. Visitors enjoy pony rides, a Safari Train, puppet theater performances, and ample playgrounds, with shaded gardens and picnic areas perfect for a relaxing family outing. An animal adoption program allows guests to support individual animals beyond their visit. Open Tuesday through Sunday, Animal Farm Petting Zoo offers an affordable and joyful experience for families, school groups, and anyone seeking a genuine connection with animals on eastern Long Island.
