At Leesburg Animal Park, a 21-acre petting zoo in Leesburg, Virginia, you can get up close and personal with the animals and feed them too! See llamas, donkeys, sheep, goats, monkeys, lemurs, parrots, giant tortoises, and more. Leesburg Animal Park offers wagon and pony rides, live animal shows, picnic areas, and a playground as well.
This is a great place to take young children. There is so much to keep them happy and this little zoo is very interactive and much easier to get around than the National Zoo.
