Though they do rescue a lot of farm animals, it’s not strange to see pets, wild animals, and other creatures living here as well. Make sure to say hello to the alligators, raccoons, foxes, and even guinea pigs, whenever they’re around.

Many rescued animals are not allowed to be rehomed to other farms due to their species, state, and body condition. So for some residents of the 3 Palms Zoo, this is their forever home. Why not make it special by showing them some love on your visit?

Home to the state’s only alligator, eastern coyote, and silver fox exhibits, there’s always a special personality to meet. Many of these species aren’t available to visit anywhere else in the state, much less this close.
