Reviews of Forsyth Nature Center (Zoo)

Jason Harding

A Kingston staple since forever. A recent visit found happy animals in a well-maintained environment

Susie Pondi

Great visiting animals... they are so glad to see people

S Ashcroft

The playground is great, and the kids love feeding the animals. Tip: bring your own approved foods for the animals for a much better experience with feeding them. Approved foods include but are not limited to popcorn, lettuce, apples and carrots.

Don Blake

Nice little park based Nature Center for kids. Totally free but can donate. Grandkids and I spent a hour or so doing two rounds of checking all the animals.

Tony Imbo

Great place to bring little ones. The animals are very gentle when fed by children.

Great little place for an outing. Kids loved it

Dawn Jacobsen

It was a really nice place but I didn't see when I looked at the website that you are supposed to bring veggies to feed the animals

Terri Shutter

It was a awesome day as always at Forsythe nature center.

Nathaniel Galloway

Had a great time with my wife,her mother, and brother and our 2 week old daughter. Easy to maneuver a stroller through for the most part. Obviously cared for greatly, what an absolute treasure which should be given more funding undoubtedly. It is quite small, and is worth i believe much more space than currently available to them.

Gregg Pugliese

It's nice especially for young children.

Oleg P

Great place to visit with children. Tip: bring veggies and popcorn to feed the animals. Fun playground on the premise.

A great little spot to bring small kids. We all enjoyed it and it's just up the road from an adorable playground.

My wife and I took two of our grandkids to see the animals and play on the playground. It's safe and most important, our grandkids love it ! ????

Enjoy bringing my grand children to the Nature Center and letting them feed the goats, bull, and llamas. Well done!

Denise Helms

rachel quesada

Small, but very well maintained park. The animals look well taken care of. Free admission just bring some money for donations. Carrots, popcorn, lettuce, greens and apples to feed the animals. My son had a great time! Great family day for a picinic and playground after visiting the animals.

Tara Woolard

This place was wonderful! My son absolutely loved it. I myself enjoyed it as well. It was well kept and maintained as well as the animals. I also wish I had known in advance to bring quarters to feed the animals or to have brought carrots, apples, or lettuce or even spinach for the animals. I think its so great to be able to feed them. I also loved the playground because it was separated into two sides and age groups. This place was such a great find while I was up visiting my mom. I highly recommend it and bring a lunch.

Candace McFarland

It was a great experience definitely a place to go with the kids and family

Gene O

Lovely mini zoo in town... for free. And seems like the animals are very well cared for. Shame it's not a tad larger, but still great nonetheless.

C Humfleet

It exceeded my expectations! I was imagining a few animals and shoddy cages. But there was a good amount of well cared for animals, including reptiles, a cow, goats, birds, peacocks, and more. We brought food to feed them. The goats went crazy! I loved it. The kids really enjoyed being with nature. It's maintained well and wasn't crowded. We went on a Saturday afternoon. I truly enjoyed it and I want to express my appreciation for the hard workers who take care of the animals and keep the place in order. Thank you!

Small but fun location to kill a few hours with the little ones. Decent amount of parking and a little zoo with interesting exhibits. Playground nearby with picnic and seating area, bathroom conveniently located next to the parking. Also near a baseball field and walking areas.

Jared Carrano

Wonderful community resource! Free to visit. Bring veggies and fruits to feed the animals. They have lamas, goats, a pig, really cool birds, reptiles. A bunch of stuff. You could probably see it all in 20-30 minutes.

Michael Castelli

Great spot for kids..playground and a zoo!

浦野良美

A lot of interesting animals!

Pablo Anwar Armijo de Lazorik

You know those beet and radish greens you never know what to do with? Bring them to feed the goats and they will love you, the llama too!

steve stanton

Good for little kids, the zoo is free.

Kelly Hendry Cotting

Bathrooms are closed right now, not sure if it's for winter or covid.. playground is cute and great for male believe (play houses, etc). Our 3 year old loves visiting the nature center when he comes and seeing the animals. You can bring apples, lettuce, carrots to feed to some of them and it's free with a suggested donation.

Nicholas Del Pezzo

Great place to bring your family, It is open to the public for free. You can feed most of the animals, Bring some carrots and apples. There are benchs to enjoy time with family and or friends. This is a small Nature Center but worth it for the whole family from young to old.

Brett Ingersoll

A surprising amount of exhibits. Informative and completely free. A nice excursion after playing at the nearby playground.

Maya Simon

Fabulous playground, with the bonus of a small nature center with animals you can feed (bring your own carrots, lettuce, or popcorn). Playground was pretty empty at 9:30am or so on a weekday, but packed (full parking lot) by 11. Even has a covered area with picnic tables, plus a bathroom (glorified portapotty, but still a bathroom).
