Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo
Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo, Zoo in Bridgeport, United States
The Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo maintains over 300 animals across a 40-hectare property alongside the Pequonnock River in Bridgeport.
James W. Beardsley donated the land in 1878, and Frederick Law Olmsted, creator of New York's Central Park, designed the park layout in 1881.
The zoo focuses on North and South American species conservation, featuring exhibits like the New England Farmyard and a tropical rainforest with free-flight aviary.
The facility operates daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, with adult admission at $20, while children and seniors pay $16 for entry to all exhibits.
Visitors can observe animals through special underground viewing areas in the prairie dog exhibit, offering close encounters with these burrowing mammals.
