The Oaklawn Farm Zoo was a zoo located in Millville, Nova Scotia, Canada, just south of the village of Aylesford. Before closing, it was Nova Scotia's largest zoo. The zoo opened in 1984, and was family-owned and operated by Ron and Gail Rogerson. The zoo boasted the largest display of Big Cats and Primates in Eastern Canada. The 50-acre (20 ha) zoo was in a rural setting in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. The zoo included a large variety of mammals, birds and reptiles, encompassing endangered and threatened species of exotic and native species, as well as domestic breeds of animals. Children could feed corn to some of the hoofstock, and the feeding of the big cats and bears was a popular attraction. Owner Gail Rogerson would enter the cages of these animals and would hand feed them meat that was collected from local farms and surrounding areas. The zoo had a restaurant and gift shop. The zoo announced in December 2023 that it would not reopen in 2024, after 40 seasons.
