What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise World War I Memorial Park and Zoo for its free admission, enjoyable zoo animals, and scenic views. It's a beloved spot for families seeking affordable fun and a pleasant place for walks. Some minor drawbacks include limited restroom facilities and the hilly terrain, but these are generally outweighed by the park's many positives.
"Always a fun time and FREE. Animals are fun for the kids of all ages. We've been bringing our kids here for close to 30 years. When they come for a walk with their parents they request here. The road will give you a great workout because of the hilly terrain. Good place for a picnic lunch too. Kind of wish someone would bring back the old ski area. It would make a great bunny hill or even sledding area, particularily if they make snow. Also wish the fire tower were accessible but you can still see a view from the top of the hill."

"Might be useful for someone out there to know that the park doesn’t close at 8:00 pm as stated here but actually at sunset so if you stay til even 7:25 pm like I did you will have to call the north attleborough police department to get out. Makes complete sense"

"Beautiful & free park! Stopped by with a little bit of spare time and I’m glad I did. The park is quiet, lush and green. It’s not a huge park to spend a full day in, but it was calm and quiet, perfect for seeing the zoo animals and walking the paths. They had pigs, alpacas and more, super surprising (and again, FREE!). Highly recommended."
