This is a great place in Asheville to take kids if you have time to do. Many indigenous animals (bear, wolf, deer, snakes). There is also a petting zoo. The staff is very educated and happy to help. You can call ahead and they can give you feeding schedules.

this is a great place for the little ones. You can just meander along the paths and let the little ones run. Lots of shade and a petting area too.

This is a great day trip to take kids to. The otters are the favorite thing there to watch. The wolves are cool when they howl. Wish there was more animals there. But love the petting zoo

We came to Asheville on spring break for our kids. We loved this cute little center. Our favorite part was the outside Q & A session w/ the owl expert.

So much fun for families. See native wildlife and pet the goats and sheep. It provides a lot of learning experiences and has been a lot of fun every time we visit. Walking through is also very nice and woodsy, and they have a botanical trail on site.
