With a collection of several hundred animals, a day out at Trotters Animal Farm will give you an opportunity to see both domestic and more exotic animals, many in natural open enclosures.
There are lively lemur troops, giant bison from the American plains, gibbons, zebra, deer, rare breed domestic animals, birds of prey, and a variety of reptiles.
