Space Farms Zoo
- August 15, 2000
- Rated 4 of 5 by

The zoo area is very clean and easy to walk through. The setting is very farm like as it is located on land once used for farming. Some of the animals living there include black bears, buffalo, small ponies, fancy chickens, ducks, emus, etc. There are also many little wild chipmunks running around. The animals are not the most exotic but are very nice to look at when imagining what America was once like.

Space Farms Museum

Outside you will find large, long buildings which house a large collection of lovely antique cars. These cars are extremely old, including model T types. Some are huge while others are quite small and most range in the color of Black. Also featured is antique carriages and of all things, caskets! Some caskets were for adults and some were for children and babies which is extremely eerie. Some of the Vampire like viewing caskets have glass windows on top, places for ice to preserve the body and serves to give an idea of the smaller size people were of the time. Be mindful about your children and how they may become frightened. For a more fun experience, take the kids to the model train area which is complete with little trees, mountains, etc.

Space Farms Museum

The most amazing part of the museum is the fact it was created by an everyday man on his farm. Today his son and grandkids continue to run Space Farms. The Museum area is located on the top floor of a barn like building. Right at the stair case, stands a bear which was stuffed (taxidermy) and appears to be about 8 feet tall. Even in its lifeless stance, it casts extreme fear!
Going up the stairs, you may venture into a large room with glass walls to look at the many attractions which include a huge doll collection and a very strange display of dead animals preserved in formaldehyde, including developing farm animals (calfs, etc.). This may scare small children.
There is also a large collection of clocks, including cuckoo types. This collection is very, very eclectic and encompasses natural history, cultures (such as Native Americans), pop culture, collectibles, etc., for a nice and interesting learning experience.
