Discover Millbrook

In Millbrook, you can plan your trip around specific interests. Its varied highlights include a zoo that requires reservations, a lakeside path in Innisfree Garden, environmental programs, wingshooting, and a seasonal market. Planning differs from one offering to another: some require a reservation, the garden path has a specific approximate duration, and the market follows a seasonal weekly schedule.

Trevor Zoo: Plan for a reservation

The Trevor-Lovejoy Zoo, also known as Trevor Zoo, is an AZA-accredited zoo at Millbrook School in Millbrook, New York. It is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. by reservation only. So don’t plan your visit as a spontaneous activity: a reservation is required, and opening hours and reservation rules may change. Check these details before your visit so you can plan your day according to the current visitor policies.

Balance time and distance at Innisfree Garden

At Innisfree Garden, the main path around the lake is about 1.3 miles long and takes roughly 90 minutes to explore at a leisurely pace. The two figures answer different planning questions: the distance helps you gauge the route, while the time estimate is useful if you prefer to plan around the time you have available. When planning your day, you can take into account both the length of the walk and its approximate duration.

Orvis Sandanona: Wingshooting and history

Keep the reservation requirement in mind for the wingshooting schools; requirements may change.
