Barnyard Zoo — Attraction in Worcester

You must absolutely come to this park when you visit Mid-Massachusetts. Lots of cute animals are waiting for you right here!

Green hill park is one of my favorite parks in mid-Mass. It’s so big and beautiful. There’re well maintained hiking trails, biking trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and barbecue spots. Moreover there’s a FREE small petting zoo, named Barnyard Zoo. So many cute animals here such as alpacas, goats, pigs, mini horses, sheep, and peafowl. They’re friendly and so adorable. I love this place so much and I think the park is good for everyone, especially for family with kids. Highly recommended!

It's free, so no harm in checking it out. I just wouldn't recommend going out of your way. If you live close and need an activity for some young kids you could do...

We had a chance to see the staff feed some of the animal which my boys enjoyed. It is free to enter the zoo and there are public bathrooms available as well. There was a vending machine located right across from the entrance and they have plenty of benches located throughout the park for people who want to rest or just...
