Just a short drive from Boston lies Bolton, Massachusetts, home to an extraordinary rescue zoo that offers wildlife encounters unlike any other. The Extreme Private Tour is a two-hour immersive experience designed for animal lovers ages six and up, where guests step beyond typical zoo boundaries to engage hands-on with rescued exotic animals. This is not your average trip to see animals behind glass; here, the focus is genuine interaction paired with expert insights, making each visit a memorable journey into the natural world.
Set within the peaceful setting of Bolton, this privately guided tour is led by a dedicated zookeeper who shares captivating stories and animal facts while guests meet creatures such as kangaroos, kinkajous, armadillos, porcupines, and owls.

The tour is designed for small groups of up to 12, ensuring an intimate atmosphere where you can ask questions and handle many of the animals under close supervision. The experience also includes general admission for the entire day, so visitors can explore other parts of the zoo before or after their private session. For families and outdoor enthusiasts alike, this tour offers a rare chance for children and adults to build empathy for creatures not commonly encountered in the wild or captivity.
