Nellis Petting Zoo

Nellis Petting Zoo is a free petting zoo in Sunrise Manor, zip code 89191, serving kids and families across the full 0 to 18 age range. It is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM and closed on weekends, operating year-round.

Activities center on animal encounters and animal feeding, giving kids a hands-on introduction to farm-style animals rather than the more removed, view-only setup of a large zoo. Educational displays are also part of the site, and field trips are listed among the programs offered, suggesting the zoo accommodates group visits from schools or other youth organizations in addition to individual families.

The site includes outdoor space, parking, and restrooms, and it is marked as special needs friendly with wheelchair access and a sensory-friendly environment specifically called out. That combination makes it a reasonable stop for families who need an outing that is both low-cost and manageable for a child sensitive to loud or crowded environments, since a small petting zoo tends to be quieter than a large commercial attraction.

Because the zoo is closed on weekends and only open until 2:30 PM on weekdays, it works better as a weekday outing, perhaps paired with a homeschool schedule, a school field trip, or a day off, than as a typical Saturday family activity. The address is listed only as "6WFR+J7," a Plus Code rather than a standard street address, so families should look it up by name in a map app rather than trying to enter a conventional address.

No phone number or website is listed for this location, so families planning a field trip or group visit should search for current contact information before showing up, especially to confirm the free price point still applies and whether feeding animals requires anything to be brought from home.
