ZOO

David Traylor Zoo of Emporia

Emporia, KS | Lyon County

You'll enjoy the pleasant surroundings of this picturesque animal park, which is one of the country's smallest accredited zoos. The serenity of the ponds and botanical areas contrast with the romping cotton-top tamarins, a lemur exhibit, and the majestic bobcats and pumas commanding their lairs. The size of the zoo is perfect for small children. Donation welcome.
