KIDS LOVE PENNSYLVANIA – Nemacolin Woodland Resort Animal Interaction

Posted on by

Do your kids like animals? Are they fond of zoos but don’t like it when the animals are tired or hidden? We’ve found a great solution for positive animal interaction!

A research assistant/reporter for Kids Love Travel, Lisa W and I spent a few days trying new things at Nemacolin Woodland Resort in southern Pennsylvania late summer (beautiful Laurel Highlands off Rte 40). We noticed some families were just “day-tripping” it there vs. the expenditure of a luxury resort overnight stay.

The wildlife habitats are great for viewing (free to roam the paved, drive-able grounds on own), but for a truly unique and educational experience, you can take the Safari Tour where you and your family can interact with the wildlife and take a tour of the petting zoo and baby animal nursery. The best part of the Safari Tour – you get to feed large live animals! Up Close.

Lisa and I giggled much and were tickled by LIVE animals and funny statues during our visit.

Here’s a picture commentary:

The kids will love the ticklish feeling you get as the animals eat from your hand.
The Safari Tour at Nemacolin is a must for kids and adults. It is intimidating & exhillarating at the same time.
The Tavern Aquarium: This is one of the largest circular aquariums in the US. Your kids will love eating right beside it and watching the rare fish swim around. The Heritage Shops & Dining are on the property (near the main Chateau) and great for a fun lunch on your day trip.
Mr. Statue: Your kids will love seeing all the fun statues around Nemacolin this one reminds us of Mr. Monopoly.

BTW, did you know you can bring your family pet to Nemacolin to stay in their own kennels? Nemacolin has long been recognized for offering its guests the ultimate in luxury and service and now guests of the resort can treat their four-legged family members to the ultimate in luxury at Nemacolin Wooflands, a pet resort and spa! In addition to 30 standard kennel rooms Nemacolin Wooflands features six themed “Luxury Suites” complete with flat screen televisions and comfortable beds. Pet guests of the suites also receive turn down service and a treat at bedtime. Crazy – huh?
