Capron Park Zoo, Public zoo in Attleboro, Massachusetts, United States.
The Capron Park Zoo spans 8 acres and houses 100 animals representing 44 different species from North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
Local school children initiated the zoo's funding through a penny drive in 1925, leading to its establishment in 1937 on land donated by the Capron family.
The zoo maintains membership in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and participates in the Species Survival Plan program for endangered animals.
The facility operates daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, with special rates for Attleboro residents, and remains closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
The zoo features a specialized nocturnal building where day and night cycles are reversed, allowing visitors to observe active nighttime animals during regular hours.
