Stone Zoo, Public zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts, United States
Stone Zoo is a facility in Stoneham spanning 26 acres with small animal exhibits in low-lying areas and large habitats across rocky forested hillsides. The grounds feature specialized areas for endangered species and a Caribbean Coast with a walk-through aviary for flamingos and scarlet macaws.
The facility began in 1905 as Middlesex Fells Zoo before expanding to include exotic species and receiving its current name in 1969. This evolution reflects growing attention to preserving rare animal species.
The Animal Discovery Center displays reptiles and amphibians while educating visitors about wildlife preservation and environmental protection.
The zoo offers seasonal outdoor bird demonstrations from late May through early September on a regular schedule. The terrain with its hillsides and varied habitats requires comfortable walking shoes and time to explore thoroughly.
The Caribbean Coast features a large walk-through aviary where visitors can observe flamingos and scarlet macaws up close. This design allows an unobstructed experience without barriers between guests and the birds.
