Do you have a love of animals, the desire to "experience the wild" or just want to see Native and Exotic Animals? If so may I suggest a trip to the GarLyn Zoo, in Naubinway, Michigan.
This is a great place to take the family. Every summer my children look forward to going back so they can see what new animals they have or to see how much the animals have grown that are there. They would spend the entire day there if I would let them. The biggest highlight of the day is having the goats lick the food out of their tiny little hands and then eat the ice cream cone that they got the feed in.
The owners, Gary and Lynn Moore started the zoo in 2004 when they sold their house and moved to the U.P. They brought with their domestic pet animals: pygmy goats, potbellied pigs, and sikka dear. The zoo now has about 35 different types of animals. Many wild animals at GarLyn are rescues—orphaned animals, or injured so they could no longer live in the wild, or adopted from owners who could no longer care for their pets. The bears, wolves, coyotes, whitetail deer, bison, skunks, porcupine, tortoise, alligators, and foxes were all rescued.
