Summerfield Zoo's main objective is to provide a fun and educational experience for the whole family!
We have exotic animals ranging from A to Z! We are home to mountain lions, zebra, lemurs, alligators, giant tortoises, wolves, reindeer, monkeys and much more! We pride ourselves on providing a great experience to our visitors.
At Christmas time we offer a unique experience with live Reindeer, Santa and elves! We also have bred and raised Arabian horses for over 40 years. Please check out our National winning horses at Summerfield Farm .
As the only zoo in the Northern Illinois area (in Belvidere - conveniently located minutes from Rockford and I-90) we look to the community for support and volunteers as we continue to grow and expand while providing the community with a unique zoo experience. Many of our resident animals are rescue animals from the Northern Illinois area.
Your visits, donations, gift shop purchases, & snack shop purchases help to build and maintain exhibits and to the feed the animals, many of which are rescues. Thank you for your continued support!
