Greater Wynne Wood Exotic Animal Park, Wynnewood

Any zoo can slap a few wood puzzles in front of the lion exhibit and call itself interactive. However, Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, home to more than 800 species, means business. The park invites guests to get up close and personal with the animals during tours and play sessions. And they even give kids and adults get the chance to hold and pet all kinds of baby animals, including bears, tigers, kangaroos, and ligers. It's not just the people who get in on the interspecies interactions. One of the zoo's most beloved attraction is a lion who lives and capers about with dachshunds.

If one day of fun isn't enough, folks can hunker down in a rustic cabin and listen to the big cats roar and the camels sing three part harmonies throughout the night.
