Plan an excursion like no other and make a worthy visit to South Schumaker Drive, home of the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art. This unique collection has the most comprehensive display of wildfowl, with everything from art sculptures to working decoys used by hunters. The museum was, in fact, named after two pioneers who moved decoy carvings into the realm of fine art. This beautiful space offers multiple exhibit rooms to check out, including Decoy in Time Habitat, the Lamay Gallery, the Decoy Study Gallery, and The Ward Brothers Workshop, among others. Before you head out, don’t forget to stop by the on-site gift shop and the nice observation deck by the river.

Admission at the Salisbury Zoo is free, and you can carve out roughly an hour to walk around the entire park, plus a little extra time to stop at the adorable gift shop on site before you leave!
