Hidden Gem Animal Sanctuary in Goshen, CT.

This 116-acre animal sanctuary and drive-thru safari park is located at 435 Torrington Road in Goshen, Connecticut. It houses more than 350 exotic and domestic animals from around the world—ranging from bison to capybaras and llamas to zebras.

The Foundation’s mission centers on conservation, agriculture, and education. Key features are a 3-mile trail where visitors can view and interact with animals from their own vehicles or on foot during designated hours, and a petting zoo area where families can take children to get up close and feed various barnyard and domestic animals.

They are open Wednesday to Sunday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. More information is here.
