Claws ‘N’ Paws Wild Animal Park

Claws 'N' Paws is an open-air wild animal park in the Poconos with shaded woodland and dirt trails winding past enclosures for more than 120 rare and exotic species. Kids can join scheduled animal shows, feed the giraffes for a few dollars, and walk through a petting area where goats and baby deer will happily nibble on clothes and feed bags from the gift shop. The trails are described as stroller and elderly friendly, and most families spend two to three hours exploring the park. A snack bar operates daily through Labor Day and weekends afterward, or visitors can bring their own picnic lunch to eat on site.
