Maine Wildlife Park, Nature Trails
& Nature Store: Are you looking for Maine Wildlife?
Visit us on Route 26 in Gray, just 3.5 miles from Maine
Turnpike Exit 63. This is one of your only guaranteed opportunities
to see a moose; along with white-tailed deer, black bears,
bald eagles, mountain lions, porcupines, coyotes, owls,
native turtles, trophy trout, and more – over 25 species
of native Maine wildlife! Many of the animals at the park
were brought here because they were injured or orphaned,
or because they were human dependent – raised, sometimes
illegally, in captivity. The park serves as a permanent
home for wildlife that cannot survive in the wild. There
are nature trails and wildlife gardens to enjoy, interactive
exhibits to view, a ‘snack shack’ selling ice
cream, candy and snacks, a nature store and gift shop; and
more! The park is a shady and cool spot to visit in the
summer under massive white pine trees. Fall is also a great
time to visit: the summer crowds are gone, the wildlife
displays their winter coats and antlers, and the fall foliage
is lovely. The park-like setting, wildlife exhibits, and
many flower gardens make this an inviting stop. Bring a
picnic and spend the day! No reservations are required.
Open daily, 9:30am-4:30pm from April 15 to November 11.
Admission fees.
