Maine Wildlife Park

Located just a few miles off the Maine Turnpike in Gray, this park is the place to go if you want a guaranteed sighting of Maine’s most iconic residents. The park is home to over 30 species of native wildlife that can’t be returned to the wild, including moose, black bears, lynx, and mountain lions. It’s got a very relaxed, natural atmosphere with trails that wind through the woods, making it feel more like a quiet nature walk than a typical zoo. You’ll also find a “trophy trout” pond where you can feed massive fish and a Game Warden Museum on-site.
