Summerfield Zoo’s main objective is to provide an up close and personal animal experience for the whole family! As a small zoo, visitors can get up close and meet many of our animals. Summerfield Zoo has existed as a part of Summerfield Farm since 1990. We have a variety of exotic animals including mountain lions, zebra, ring-tailed lemurs, giant tortoises, arctic wolves, kinkajous, large-spotted genets, servals, bobcats, foxes, wallabies and more! Summerfield Zoo prides itself on the personal and up close experience that it provides to its visitors. As a smaller zoo we can provide viewing areas that are closer to the animals than at most large zoos. We have many animals available for visitors to pet and take pictures with. As the only zoo in the Northern Illinois area we look to the community for support and volunteers as we continue to expand and grow while providing the community with a unique zoo experience. Your visits, donations, & gift shop purchases help to build and maintain exhibits and to feed the animals, many of which are rescues. Thank you for your continued support. Summerfield Zoo also hosts special events at the farm with ample space for your company picnics, or parties with tours of the animal park. Field trips and group tours are also available.
This zoo is awesome. The staff is very friendly and interacts with the kids and adults as well. Big difference between going here and a big zoo is the fact that you can get so close to the animals here. They do little shows throughout the day also to teach the kids about the animals and give the kids a opportunity to touch and feel most of the animals.
