No Need to Fly to Another Continent as Animals from Across World Just a Short Trip Away from Bridgeport

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on June 20, 2022

Our friends at Onlyinyourstate.com have another destination that locals and those visiting the city may want to carve some time out for. This one is a bit north in Preston County. Many may know about Hovatter's Zoo in Kingwood. But, here is an account and plenty of photos of what you will see when you get there. As always, due to COVID-19, you are advised to contact all entities featured here to see the status of operations as well as hours of operation.
 
FROM ONLYINYOURSTATE.COM
 
Is an African Safari on your bucket list? Even if it isn’t, you might still be interested to know that you can see lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras, and more right here in West Virginia at Hovatter’s Wildlife Zoo in Kingwood.
 
If you're ever driving through Kingwood and you see a sign for Hovatter's Wildlife Zoo with a big arrow telling you which way to turn...take our advice and follow that arrow to the parking lot of one of West Virginia's hidden gems.
 
When you get here, you'll feel like you've set foot on another continent. 
 
With exotic animals including but definitely not limited to African lion, Bengal tiger, zebra, ostrich, camel, lemur, monkey, and sloth, Hovatter's Wildlife Zoo will give you a glimpse into a world that most of us can only imagine.
