If you've ever dreamed of seeing an exotic animal drinking from a watering hole just like on a travel show, then you're in luck. Just load up the family and head over to the Exotic Resort Zoo in Johnson City.
Once there, you'll see animals from around the world. And thanks to the tour, you can see them up close.
This extremely kid-friendly animal preserve comes complete with a petting zoo of baby animals. Take your little ones to meet, greet and feed baby deer, llamas and kangaroos.
The 137-acre farm operates four trams 9 a.m.-6 p.m. with the last tour leaving at 5 p.m. Tours begin when you get there, so come any time of the day. You can even hold your next birthday party at the Exotic Resort Zoo.
