About this adventure
A tranquil, tree-canopied sanctuary dedicated to rescued native wild animals that cannot be released back into the wild, including black bears, mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, and playful farm animals. Next door to the zoo entrance, families can ride the Folsom Valley Railway — a charming 1950s-era miniature steam-style passenger train circling Lions Park. Please note a key schedule advisory: on Saturday, November 7, 2026, the zoo sanctuary opens at 12:00 PM (delayed opening due to volunteer holiday decorating). The zoo is fully paved for strollers with picnic tables and diaper changing stations.
