The zoo is a part of the Millbrook School, a coed boarding high school. The zoo slowly grew out of the private collection of a biology teacher and today is an accredited member of the American Zoo Association. It is small, but has a number of rare and exotic species thanks to their participation in captive breeding programs. It's a small zoo, but offers up-close encounters with lemurs, foxes, red wolves, foxes, otters, and red pandas. Their website used to have a live stream feed of a blue heron nest, and now has a live stream of their red pandas, who had cubs last summer.

A lovely boutique zoo with many endangered species.such as lemurs, arctic foxes, red pandas, emus, otters, bobcats, sikh deer and herons in a quiet rural setting in Hunt Country. Children and adults will enjoy the zoo. A donation is requested. 10 minutes to Village of Millbrook for shops and restaurants. Not a lot of walking and seating available for a peaceful view of the lake and the waterfowl and water birds

I had visited with my children and now returned with my granddaughter. Perfect for her not at all overwhelming and the amount of walking was perfect for her (age 4)! The otters are great and she really was able to see the animals and really enjoy.

This accredited zoo was founded by a much loved teacher at Millbrook School, who found himself the recipient of injured and sick animals which he managed to cure. Now the zoo, set on the exquisite Millbrook School campus offers a view of over a hundred animals both native to the area and a few endangered species in a rambling naturalistic setting. There is pond at the beginning of the visit for birds, a waterfall with otters and a nice picnic ground, The animals are in part cared for by the "Zooies", students at the school who learn to love and tend these creatures as part of their community service. They and you will learn about the importance of our natural habitat as you connect with these beautiful animals and take away both wonder of and respect for living sustainably.

I went to this zoo with my cousin and her 19 month old son. It is a nice zoo for small children, but I wouldn't recommend it for children above the age of 12. It was basically just something for us to do and to give the little guy some stimulation for the day, even though he had no idea what was going on. Over all, it is a small zoo to spend at most two hours at. Any more than that would be unnecessary.

Great place to see and get close to some unusual animals (lemurs , for example).The zoo does not have any food area so be sure to bring your own meals/snacks.

Trevor Zoo is a very special place. As part of Millbrook School it is the only zoo, possibly in North America, where high school students get hands on experience caring for the animals. The exhibits include indoor and outside meandering along lovely paths. One can spend hours or just a quick visit. There is no admittance fee but donations to help support the ongoing costs to operate the zoo are gladly accepted. Anyone visiting the Millbrook area should stop in for a visit, and if you see students go ahead and ask them which animals they care for!

Thank you so much for the live feed of the heron nest. I have been watching it with great anticipation of the eggs hatching. The first 2 chicks are so cute and watching this heron care for these babies is wonderful. She is building up the sides of the nest to provide more safety for them as they grow. She is feeding them so gently and keeping them warm. This is a wonderful Mothers Day present!!! Thank you Trevor Zoo! Linda Palugyay

We were looking for something to do with our toddler who loves animals, so we decided to check out this zoo we had heard about. It's a very nice little zoo. You can tell all the animals are well cared for and there are a good amount of them to see. We saw lemur, emu, a wallaby, alpaca, marmoset, owls, otters and so much more. Since it's very small and it was pretty quiet there it was a great place for our daughter to walk on her own a bit, which she loved. It took us about 2 hours to see the entire zoo and felt we definitely got our money's worth since the entrance fee is just a $5 donation. We'll definitely be back and I highly recommend it for parents with small children.

Trevor Zoo is a must see for all families visiting Millbrook. Located at Millbrook School, one of the many excellent private schools in this area of New York and Connecticut, it is managed by teachers in the school's science department, and staffed by their students. It makes up part of the schools "sustainability" program. A simple question to one of the staff can lead to some interesting insights as to why certain species are endanger and what is being done about it. We all enjoy our visits there, young and old.

We visited this zoo with a group of homeschoolers and had an amazing time. It is beautiful, scenic and very well kept. I also appreciated that they are teaching about endangered animals and conservation. The staff was very pleasant and made us feel welcome. We went on a rather cold day and would love to come back when the weather is warmer. This place is definitely worth a visit.

This small zoo is attached to the Millbrook High School complex and was created by a former biology teacher as a way for students to connect with conservation efforts in a hands-on learning environment. The entrance fee is only a $5 donation per person, and the zoo is open seven days a week from 8:30am to 5:00pm. During the week, students volunteer their time to help care for the animals. There are a wide variety of species from around the world, including red pandas, turkey vultures, lemurs, coati, red wolves, hawks, and emu. The zoo is also home to seven endangered species that they are helping to save from extinction, and it is active in local wildlife rehabilitation, as well. As a conservation center, the zoo is doing amazing work, and is a priceless local resource for students and educators. As a zoo, it offers quality over quantity, and is a fun, educational, and inexpensive outing for the whole family.

We were in this area and have a few extra hours. Another parent had told me about this little zoo. What a neat little zoo immaculately taken care of at a school. We brought a picnic lunch and had a very nice afternoon. We went for a stroll in downtown Millbrook after and completed a relaxing trip. Will go back the kids very much enjoyed it.
