Information may not be reliable

GarLyn Zoo is located on US-2 in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. We're just 6 miles east of Naubinway, 40 minutes west of the Mackinac Bridge. The zoo is a small, intimate, family run zoo nestled in the mature pine forests on the shores of Lake Michigan. We offer a child friendly atmosphere and people friendly animals.
You will enjoy the natural wooded appeal of mature pines and cedar mulched trails. Feed and view the animals up close. See animals from around the world. This is just what you come to the Upper Peninsula for, a walk in the woods and to see live animals.
Come and Experience the Wild! at GarLyn Zoo. Grain can be purchased to hand feed many of the animals including whitetail deer, sika deer, pygmy goats, llamas, chickens, ducks, peacocks and yes, you can even feed Fuzzy the bear.
Fun for the whole family.
(Grain and apples available for purchased in the gift shop, sorry, no outside food can be brought in to feed to the animals)
