Looking for a fun way to celebrate the dad in your life? Whether he's your dad, stepdad, grandpa, or father figure, Animal Adventure Park & Preserve is rolling out the red carpet for him. On Sunday, June 15th, all dads get free admission to both Animal Adventure Park and The Preserve Safari!

Pick Your Adventure

Let dad take his pick a walk on the wild side at the Park where over 100 kinds of animals are waiting to say hi, or take the drive-through experience at The Preserve where you never know who (or what) might stroll past the car. Or do both and make it a whole-day family adventure, and dad’s ticket is on the house.

For the Dads Who Like a Cold One

If your guy is more of a “give me beer and live music” kind of dad, then mark your calendar for Saturday, June 21st because that’s when Drafts with Giraffes takes over the park!

From 5 to 8 p.m., enjoy local craft brews, food trucks, and live music all while hanging out with giraffes and friends. It’s one of Animal Adventure’s most popular adult-only nights, and it sells out fast.

Daily Hours and Need-to-Know Info

Both Animal Adventure Park and The Preserve are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last admissions at 3 p.m. for The Preserve and 4 p.m. for the Park. Whether you go early or late, make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy all the sights and sounds of the animal world.

What Is This Place Exactly?

 Animal Adventure Park is more than just a zoo it’s an interactive, hands-on, educational experience that connects families with animals in unforgettable ways. Just 15 minutes outside of Binghamton in Harpursville, it’s home to over 100 species and is accredited by the Zoological Association of America (ZAA). By the way, The Preserve is a wild ride through 100+ acres of safari-style excitement.
