Action Wildlife Foundation

Action Wildlife Foundation is a nonprofit destination centered on agriculture, education, wildlife, and hands-on animal experiences. Its grounds feature exotic and heritage livestock alongside wildlife, with the organization emphasizing species that are uncommon elsewhere in Connecticut. The foundation also operates a 20,000-square-foot Natural History Museum containing natural scenes inspired by wildlife and ecosystems encountered by its founder during travels around the world.

The visitor experience extends beyond traditional animal viewing through opportunities for closer encounters and educational activities. The foundation offers field trips and other organized experiences that bring people into direct contact with animals while exploring the property. Its mission connects these activities with environmental stewardship and an appreciation of biodiversity, giving the destination a broader educational focus than a conventional zoo. The combination of livestock, wildlife encounters, outdoor space, and a dedicated natural history museum makes Action Wildlife particularly suited to travelers interested in learning about animals through both exhibits and direct experiences.
