Space Farms: Zoo & Museum

Space Farms Zoo and Museum is a combination of a zoo for animals and a historical museum located at 218 Route 519, in the Beemerville section of Wantage Township in Sussex County, New Jersey, in the United States. It is currently owned by New Jersey Assemblyman Parker Space.
Founded in 1927, the zoo is home to a wide selection of mammals and reptiles of the North America region and all over the world, including some endangered species. At one time, Space Farms was host to the largest bear in captivity in the world, a Kodiak bear named Goliath, now part of a diverse taxidermy exhibit in the main hall of the museum as of his death in 1991. His abnormally large skull is upstairs, where it can be compared to skulls of other animals.
The Space Farms museum houses an extensive variety of antique vehicles and items used during the early history of the United States, such as horse-drawn carriages and early motorcycles. The vehicles are largely unrestored, being in much the same condition as when they were acquired. There are also colonial period tools and weapons on display.
Children can feed young animals by hand and there is a large food and drink area for picnics.
