Petting Zoos
Summerfield Zoo’s main objective is “to provide a fun and educational experience for the whole family!
We have exotic animals ranging from A to Z! We are home to mountain lions, zebra, lemurs, alligators, giant tortoises, wolves, reindeer, monkeys and much more! We pride ourselves on providing a great experience to our visitors. We also have bred and raised Arabian horses for over 40 years. Please check out our National winning horses at Summerfield Farm .
As the only zoo in the Northern Illinois area we look to the community for support and volunteers as we continue to grow and expand while providing the community with a unique zoo experience. Many of our resident animals are rescue animals from the Northern Illinois area.”

Key Insights:
- Pretty fun watching them jump around in their habitat and reach out for the hibiscus flowers around the cage.
- They had a young employee/volunteer helping to sell tickets who wasn't very knowledgeable about what prices were and how to accept payment.
- My son has been wanting to see a wolf pup for years here and the last time we came they were fixing the enclosure for the wolves so we couldn't see them.
- Their large goat herd is amusing, as is feeding them and watching the youngest ones drain baby bottles.
- Ofcourse we came on the day where it was kind of wet, cold and windy and muddy everywhere, but it was smaller than i was expecting.
