When you’re seeking a place to take the kids for the morning or afternoon, North Carolina has some extraordinary city parks. Whether your little ones are toddlers or budding teens, they’re bound to love a visit to Livermon Park and Mini Zoo to see the wild buffalo, emu, zebra, goats, and more! And the best part? Visiting this zoo in North Carolina is absolutely free!
Livermon Park is a place where kids of all ages will find enjoyment.

The park has hiking trails, picnic tables and shelters, restroom facilities, a playground, and a free zoo
Banks Dixon/Google The hiking trails lead to the Cashie River and if a free zoo isn’t enough to inspire a visit, you can also check out canoes, paddles, and life vests for free and take a spin on the Cashie River.
Over in the (free) zoo, you’ll spot buffalo, zebras, emu, a variety of birds, and more.

While most kids in the Tar Heel State can easily identify some of the animals, others like the emu are a bit perplexing to the smallest visitors.

Pack a picnic and bring the kids over to Windsor to check out this fun — and free — adventure!
