Here’s why a detour to Mayfield is totally worth it: animal lovers, this one’s your jam! 🦙 Plan your stop at Adirondack Animal Land for a quirky wildlife experience right in upstate New York.
Top Spot to Visit:
Adirondack Animal Land (3554 NY-30, Gloversville, NY 12078)
Open Friday–Sunday, 5:00–9:00 pm, closed Monday–Thursday. Come ready for a fun drive-through safari plus hands-on encounters with camels, llamas, zebras, and so many more. It’s family-friendly, wallet-friendly, and absolutely insta-worthy (yes, from the comfort of your car—major bonus if it rains).
Why I Recommend It:
The drive-through experience means you can get crazy-close to the animals, feed them, and snap some unique pics—without any rush or crowds. Pro tip: get there early evening for fewer cars and lively animals. Animal food is available for sale (bring a few bucks in cash for this and the ticket, since card acceptance can be spotty), and don’t wear your fanciest clothes—the nibbly goats don’t care!
Need to Know:
Getting around Mayfield is easiest by car. Pair this stop with other regional outdoor activities if you have extra time. There’s basic snack food on-site, but pack a fun picnic for variety. Weather flips fast in the Adirondacks, so bring layers. No passport or visa needed for US travelers; just roll up and enjoy!
