Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, Michigan just scurried and roared it's way to the top of my favorite zoos in Michigan! Why? Well, there's 500 fuzzy, slithering and adorable reasons that will capture your heart!
From it's shaded expansive layout, vast variety of animals, tons of children's activities, cleanliness and amenities, you will be hard pressed to find a better Michigan zoo!
From the moment you pass the entry gates, you just can't help but do a little happy skippy dance as you just know you're in for an awesome time!
He's a beaut, isn't he?!
As if fuzzy, slithery, chatty and downright adorable animals weren't fun enough, you can...
The Miller Children's Zoo is the place where goats truly are king! Why? Wellll, kids can brush, feed and play with them all day long! (The children's zoo is included in the price of admission)
Kids can also pet soft bunnies, get eye-to-eye with llamas and climb through tunnels!
Awesome Goat Joke Time!
What do you call a goat that lip-syncs?

First off, there's FREE PARKING! That's enough to make a girl want to go there twice...or six times. AND they have prairie dogs... 'Nuff said. I seriously cannot get enough of their lil' chirpy attitudes. Here's more:
Cute overhead comment as a little girl and her mom passed by: "Mom, can we go in the gift shop?"
Mom: "No, because we are not buying anything because it is too expense." Little Girl: "But I brought my nickels!"
Told my mother-in-law this and she said, "We all need more nickels!" TRUTH!
I carried a bag with 2 bottles of water, snacks and sunscreen. Bring your sunglasses, sun hat and definitely wear comfortable walking shoes. You will walk several miles during your stay.
You may bring strollers or rent them there.
We would love to hear all about it!
