Stone Zoo

What it lacks in size, this century-old zoo makes up for in personality. Set on 26 acres in Stoneham and a sister location to the Franklin Park Zoo, this spot lets visitors stroll the tree-lined paths to view animals from A(rctic fox) to Z(ebu). Favorites to watch are the Mexican Gray Wolf roaming around the outdoor habitat, while inside the Animal Discovery Center, you’ll find small things that slither. Be sure to check out the pretty-in-pink flamingo cove.
