1. Brad Reifler Visits the Trevor Zoo
Can you imagine going to high school with an actual zoo? Not bad, huh? Well, that is the beauty of the
Trevor Zoo in Millbrook, New York. Established in 1936 by Frank Trevor a biology teacher with a mission
to share his “love of wildlife” – he built a school (called The Millbrook School) that has at its heart an
animal care facility that grew over the years into a full-fledged family day trip with 150 “exotic and
indigenous animals,” over six acres, according to Trevor Zoo officials. So now, there is a fully-accredited
zoo (by the AZA –Associations of Zoos and Aquariums) in the middle of a school in a beautiful part of the
country Millbrook, New York, says Brad Reifler.
The Trevor Zoo has a spirit and a heart that is bar-none. It’s not the largest of zoos but it will offer a
more intimate experience in the rustic Millbrook, New York area that will make for a splendid afternoon
out in the clean fresh air. Among its many species represented, you will find animals from all over the
globe including Africa, Asia, Australia, North America and South America. Water Dragons, an aquarium
showcasing wildlife of the Amazon, bobcats, lemurs, owls, iguanas, Alpacas, waterfowl, pythons, and
more will both intrigue and educate visitors.
The Trevor Zoo strives to teach you and your family about conservation and respect for animals and its
beautiful locale mixed in with a staff of passionate professionals makes it a must see, explains Brad
Reifler. Given that the Trevor Zoo is part of a High School, you will see students helping to care for the
animals along with the professional biologist and animal care specialists who monitor the day to day
operations of the care and feeding. According to the zoo officials, approximately 40 students choose to
work on a daily basis at the zoo.
The Trevor Zoo is open every day of the year from 8:30am to 5pm off of route 44, six miles east of the
village of Millbrook, NY and just 75 miles from New York City.
According to Brad Reifler, admission is a mere $5 for adults and $3 for children and there are annual
memberships around the $40 - $50 price range. The Trevor Zoo also provides group tours as well as
birthday parties and overnight trips.
