Exotic Animal Paradise
What would Route 66 be without colorful billboards extolling the virtues of this or that roadside attraction? And what would be more appropriate than something for which you don't even have to leave your car? The Exotic Animal Paradise is just that. It's one of those drive-thru zoological parks from which you can view the animal inhabitants from the comfort and security of your automobile. And, unlike the majority of such parks, the Exotic Animal Paradise does not discourage feeding the animals—you can buy feed right there so that you can bring the animals up close.
Exotic Animal Paradise is located just off Interstate 44 (formerly Route 66) east of Strafford, Missouri near the small community of Holman.
