By Jamie Alvarenga | Published March 03, 2017

When one thinks of zoos in Maryland, usually it’s the Baltimore Zoo that comes to mind. Not many people know that there are actually a few other zoos in the state that are worth checking out. Today we’re featuring a smaller, family-friendly place in an intimate setting. This is the one unique animal park in Maryland everyone should visit at least once.

Located in Rising Sun, Plumpton Park Zoo is an underrated gem full of exotic creatures.

Because of its smaller size, zookeepers are able to pay close attention to the well-being and happiness of the animals. Repeat visitors get to know these lovable critters, as if they're part of the family.
