Say cheese!

Volunteer Morgan has been snapping photos of our animals today... but it looks like one feathery friend wanted a turn behind the lens!

This parakeet might be starting a new side hustle: photography from a Birds Eye view.

Next up: headshots for the goats and a glam shoot for the llamas. Stay tuned!

We have some AMAZING news to share!
Our very own Ryen, the heart and visionary behind Family Traditions Animal Adventure, has been honored as Entrepreneur of the Year by the Adams County OH Chamber of Commerce!

This recognition is such a meaningful moment—not just for Ryen, but for our entire Zoo Crew family. From the very beginning, Family Traditions was built on a dream: to bring people closer to animals, nature, and each other in a way that’s hands-on, educational, and full of fun. What started as a simple idea has grown into something truly special, thanks to hard work, community support, and a whole lot of love.

We want to give a HUGE thank you to the Chamber for this honor—it means the world to be recognized among so many amazing local leaders and businesses.

To our incredible Zoo Crew: none of this would be possible without you. Your tireless dedication, early mornings, late nights, and the care you show for every animal and every guest is the reason Family Traditions continues to grow and inspire.

And to each and every one of our supporters, visitors, and community members—thank YOU for believing in what we do. Whether you've taken a tour, attended an event, or simply shared a post, you’ve played a part in this journey.

This award is more than a title—it’s a celebration of everyone who has helped turn a family dream into a living, breathing adventure.

Here’s to more growth, more joy, and a future full of new traditions!
