Shubenacadie Wildlife Park, Wildlife park and animal refuge in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The park spans 40 hectares with natural enclosures housing over 50 species of mammals and birds native to Nova Scotia and North America.
The park originated in the late 1940s as a refuge for orphaned white-tailed deer before officially opening to the public in 1954.
Educational programs engage thousands of students annually, teaching wildlife conservation principles through direct observation and interactive experiences.
The facility operates daily from May through October and weekends only from October through May, with reduced admission fees during winter months.
Shubenacadie Sam, residing at the park, makes the first Groundhog Day weather prediction in North America due to Nova Scotia's eastern location.
