Exotic Zoo in Ada

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, June 4, 2018

Ken Collins, with camera in hand, visited the Exotic Zoo in Ada on Monday. The zoo happened to be at the United Methodist Church as part of the Ada Public Library summer reading program activities. About 200 people, mostly youngsters, were on hand to see, touch, and learn about all kinds of critters. The library held the program at the nearby church because a large attendance was expected, and the size of the crowd didn’t disappoint. Exotic Zoo personnel bring animals and birds that were mostly born at their zoo near Detroit.
