With the weather finally starting to warm up here in the Decatur area, now is the perfect time to start planning weekend trips with family and friends. One place that is a must-see attraction in our lovely city is the Scovill Zoo.

Nestled along the shores of beautiful Lake Decatur, more than 400 animals live at the Scovill Zoo. Here, you’ll see cheetahs, camels, meerkats, flamingos, zebras, penguins and several other wild animals, who have helped make the zoo one of the most popular attractions in Decatur. In fact, nearly 100,000 visitors come here each year.
