Living Treasures Wild Animal Park of the Laurel Highlands

Just so you know. Not the best place for animals. Literally in cages with bars; concrete floors. Minimal effort to replicate natural environment.
Be informed.

This location doesn’t even compare to the New Castle location. Very disappointed. This location is not as interactive as the other location, the animals aren’t as exotic (you can see deer, cows, and ducks if you look outside your back door,) and this location is much smaller for the same price.
Recommendation: save your money and go to the New Castle location.

I visited the Living Treasures zoo in Moraine about a year ago, and I really liked that zoo, so I was eager to try this sister location near Donegal. This location seemed to me to be a little smaller. They have animals such as alpacas, alligators, tigers, camels, geese, lizards, tortoises, chickens, birds, horses, goats, pigs, cows, ducks, llamas, donkeys, monkeys, kangaroos, bears, etc. The price was $ 14 for people aged 12 and up and a couple of dollars less for other age groups. We enjoyed walking around the zoo to pet and feed the animals. Most of the animals preferred the carrots and not the dry food. My favorite animals were the bear taking a bath in water, baby pigs walking around, and a turtle poking its head out of the water to eat my food.

For a small zoo, this place was actually pretty fun to visit and it kept my niece entertained the whole time we were there. So much so that this is all she could talk about for the rest of the day and following weekend.
The thing about this place it that it never appears crowded. From the time we showed up here until we left we were not rushed along by packs of people hoping to get a better look at any given animal habitat. It was so much like this that my niece and I were able to sit and look at the animals for a good stretch of time and no one else would be there. We took extra time at each of the exhibits that gives you a chance to feed, pet or do both. After a bit of coercing my niece finally fed a pony, every other time she just ended up dropping the food out of reach of the animal or throwing it over their heads.
One of the better parts about this zoo is that there is more interaction with the animals. You are encouraged to pet the animals and feed them. Also they have times posted at most enclosures for feeding times. Some, like the bunnies, small children can go in and help feed. There are some animals that are more locked up than others. The animals that you would expect there to be a barrier between you and them.
Things to keep in mind here, the Farm Exhibit is under a bit of construction. I assume that means there will either be more animals, or some animals will be moving to this area. Feed is available to purchase, the price is a bit steep, $ 4 for a bag of baby carrots. There are also bubblegum like vending machines strategically posted at exhibits. Hand washing stations and hand sanitizer is available. There is also lodging available if you want to make a weekend of it. Gift shop has plentiful merchandise. Credit cards accepted.

Really fantastic place we stumbled upon driving back to philly from Pittsburgh. Saw a billboard and took a chance. So glad we did! About 12 $ for an adult and you can buy treats for the animals! Really wonderful place, a lot bigger than expected too! Friendly staff and the animals were all so great! I highly recommend this place! Also check their website for a coupon to print before heading there!

Lots to look at here, my 4 year old loved it! We spent $ 75 for 4 adults, one child and a bag of animal food. A little more expensive than I expected, but they also had a lot more animals than I expected. The favorites were the kangaroos, bears and ponies.

This Living Treasures is smaller than the New Castle one, but I prefer this one. I found it to be more interactive with the animals, and less smelly. I already been here two times, and will be returning again sometime soon.
My children even said they like this location better, so as a family, this one will be our going back choice:)

My family really loves our trips to Living Treasures Animal Park! We usually try to go once or twice a year. Over the past few years, we have gone during their «Night at the Zoo» over the month of October. You are able to walk through the park at night, with flashlights, and see all of the animals in their natural nighttime habitats.
The zoo isn’t really that big, and it doesn’t take too long to walk through it, but it’s an experience none the less. They also have a really large gift shop with numerous animal themed items. You can also purchase (for a small price) a bag of feed, and a lot of the animals in the zoo really look forward to that treat! :)

This was a nice little zoo. Animals seemed well-​kept, well-​fed and their enclosures were clean. They had plenty of animals, many of which you can feed. We really had a surprisingly good time here. It’s attached to the hotel we stayed at, so we got a 50% discount and it was well worth it.

Don’t understand the negative reviews… I’ve been coming here for years now with my family and it only seems to get better. Its a petting zoo/​zoo hybrid like one user said. You get to feed tons of sheep, deer, and other animals if you stick your hand in (I’m talking like camels, not the lions or anything). Prices seem to have gone up sadly, and for less feed. But my family and I had no problem picking up spilled feed on the ground and adding it to our bags– you basically can go through 2 bags for the price of one that way. Fun thing to do in PA in the summer, definitely recommend.

This is a very *ahem* interesting place. We were visiting Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob and picked the Log Cabin Motel to stay at. Much to our surprise there is also a small zoo attached to the hotel!
I came in with pretty low expectations. I have been to a variety of animal parks, and I know quality can vary to heartbreaking levels. I was very much expecting the zoo to be very very small and the animals to perhaps not be in great condition. I was happy to be proved wrong!
The selection of animals is a bit of a hodge podge, but they have most types represented. In the larger enclosures they have some interesting combinations, like the miniature pony with the llama and the camels with the kangaroos. We also talked with the caretaker who the animals definitely seemed bonded with.
You can feed almost all the animals (the more toothy critters have pipes that you use to drop a treat into their enclosure), making the place sort of a zoo/​petting zoo hybrid. It’s a great activity for families as most of the animals are close up and child friendly.
