Hutchinson Zoo and Train
(Carey Park). Featuring animals native to Kansas, this child-friendly intimate zoo provides a petting area of domestic animals and a telescope to view the buffalo across the pond. Kids love the Dinosaur Dig where they look for fossils, and a ride on the 16-gauge railway is fun during the summer months (ride charge). Start your visit in the log-cabin visitor center. Daily 10 a.m.-4:45 p.m. Donation welcome. . hutchgov.com/zoo.
