Laurie Bashaw met up with her daughter and grandkids for a fun day at the DeYoung Family Zoo in Wallace, MI recently and you can tell by the smiles, that her grandkids thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the animals. They were even able to get to know a few face to face in the petting zoo portion.

You can see by the photos that Laurie shared here with us, that there is quite the variety of animals living right here in the U.P.. I think their webpage describes it best:

"The DeYoung Family Zoo is nestled in the wilderness of the beautiful Upper Peninsula. This is NOT a big city zoo, step out of the box, away from the concrete jungle and come along on a new journey. You will love the natural setting filled with amazing animals from around the world. Large natural habitats, education through hands-on experiences, as well as up close and personal family fun! It’s all waiting for you at the DeYoung Family Zoo!"
It sure looks like a great place to spend some family time and introduce your kiddos to a variety of wildlife they otherwise may not get to see in person. Their Fall hours are: Wednesday through Sunday - 10:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. CST, so there's still plenty of time to make a trip with the family to enjoy the animals!

I love the huge tortoises, I always thought they were pretty cool....the one to the left is pretty big.

Especially like the geese, goats, and sheep.

What a fun day at the zoo! I have a saddle that would fit Mr. Boar! That's one big pig!

Nice pix! Big Pig...I remember that band.
The goat in the last photo: "Sheep up or sheep out" :-)

Love the last picture. He's just too cute!! I have some really cool tortoise/sea turtle shaped rocks that I got from my daughter-in-law's shop. She's what you'd call a rock hound...loves her rocks. There's all kinds of animal shaped rocks in her store. Love them!

These pictures are so cool. Thanks for sharing them. If I get up there with my young grandchildren, I'll have to remember this place.

"Bah bah, black goat?" ;>

Ah, HA!
Google Maps couldn't find Wallace Michigan. I guess
Google doesn't know everything!

(Well, it did find Mellen, MI & the DeYoung Family
zoo is shown on the map.)

Wallace MI - the Lake Woebegon of Michigan!

That is a place I have always wanted to see but haven't gotten around to going yet. Soon!!!!!


By Just me (Jaby) on Tuesday, September 9, 2014 - 06:08 pm:

Now that looks like a wonderful and happy place to
visit! Great pics!

It's on the MI state Highway map! Just a bit north of Menominee on US41!
