About Tregembo Animal Park
Tregembo Animal Park is a zoo in Wilmington, North Carolina, that the Tregembo family has run for decades. George and June Tregembo opened it in 1952 with a small group of species. The park now shows many kinds of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, including porcupines, macaques, a white Bengal tiger, and a sloth. Wikipedia notes that it began as the Tote-Em-In Zoo, took its current name in 2004, and that the Tregembo family shifted its focus toward education after taking over operations. Visitors should check seasonal hours, since the park opens on different schedules through the year and closes for winter.
