Oaklawn Farm Zoo

Reviewed By messengrl - Shelburne, Canada

This was our fifth trip to Oaklawn Farm Zoo. After our first visit in 2012, it became one of our favourite places in Nova Scotia. The main attraction, for us, is the pride of African lions (Sterk, Nyah, Hunter and Nnenne). But all the animals are wonderful. With schools in session, relatively few people were on the zoo grounds, which made for a calm, relaxing experience as we walked around and viewed the animals. Sadly, some of the animals we have seen during previous visits are no longer there (Fury, Czar, Obi, etc.). We miss them, but we are glad to have had the opportunity to see and enjoy them.
