Old Catskill Game Farm Photography Workshop

By Maria: Intense. Love it. get a sense from viewing what it might have been like to be in the cages during its heyday

By Lance J: Having grown up in the Mohawk Valley, this was way downstate to us. I vividly remember going there in about 1967 at age 5. The most memorable part was the Rhinoceros's and the moat that kept them from wandering off.

By Paul evanko: My family an I would pass by the game farm every time we would go to our property we own in stamford,ny or to my cousins house in middleburgh ny do the new owners plan to open it again as a petting zoo/museum ?? So sad it's gone😞

By Melissa Harnett: This place was my childhood. It would be too hard to see it as it is now.

By Donna: Please restore as a game farm. Such incredible memories made there. Heartbroken it's Such a loss.gone.

By Janet: Oh, I loved this place. Many visits through the years, with family, friends, my Brownie troop, and then later with my children when they were young. I cried when they closed it, and have tears in my eyes today, as I see these photos. Such good times were spent there, wish they were still open. Love for my grandchildren to see it.

By Terry Hawthorne: Will you be adding more dates to the Catskill Game Farm this year? Thank you!!

By Anne Sullivan Miscoski: I remember going to the Catskill Game Farm when i was young, 1970 ish and it was great to see and get close to all the animals. Wow, i hope it can be resurrected for the younger generations.

By Kathy: Went here many times growing up. Always something new to see. So sad it shut down.

By Tom Murphy: I may be dating myself, but I haven't been there since the early 60s, and I don't remember much -- just that is was a favorite outing for my family that all us kids looked forward to. And I remember the petting zoo pretty well.

By Zookeeper Lakewood: Very interesting. We were watching American Pickers and saw a sign that was from the zoo. It sparked my curiousity since there was a zoo in our community that was the largest privately owned zoo as well. Lakewood Farm and Zoo closed in the 1930's. Check out the Getz Farm and Zoo! Glad to hear there are plans to get the Catskill Zoo in better shape. It'll be a treasure. Keep the history going, Once it's gone, it's gone. Way to go!

By Melissa: Hope to see another day this summer. I would love to do this.

By fellows family: we would go here with our mother and father many years ago. i remember riding the fire engine around the park. as i got older and had my own kids and wife we would head there while camping in the catskills

By Claude: "I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream..." so long ago but I vaguely remember the sign by the bears! Great memories, sad it's gone.
