Visit the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray Maine.
I just heard on the news today that the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray has had decreased attendance recently. My family had such a wonderful time there last year, so I thought I'd post some of their upcoming events.
The park is a definite must see! You can read about our trip here.
Visit their website for video and audio tours and ticket information.
Here are the upcoming events. I've already put the June 4th "The Ancient Ones" on my calendar.
Saturday May 21 Wind Over Wings Join this new-to-Maine nonprofit raptor education center to see & learn more about our feathered predators. Live birds featured will include an Eastern Screech-Owl, a Peregrine Falcon (fastest animal on earth) & a Great Horned Owl - who will amaze you with her ability to flap her wings silently. All birds are ambassadors for their species, overcoming serious injuries to lead them into their lives in education. www.windoverwings.org
