Potter Park is an enchanting zoo where all visitors can experience the natural world through new eyes. The animals here are plentiful, along with informative exhibits on their habits and conservation. Some of the highlights for children are various special areas such as a free-flight aviary of brightly colored Australian birds and a petting zoo featuring atypical farm animals from around the world. (These are both open seasonally, so do check the website!)
