We support animal care, we have seen 90% of every zoo in the north east, this place takes care of the animals. However we feel the price is a too high for the amount of animals and time. 15 minutes you can see this place 2 times over.
Great place to spend time with family & kids, amenities were just ok. Water Park was good but still chances of improvement. Arcade was good eventhough expensive. They can add more adventure games & attractions
Very clean place. The staff was all very friendly and nice. The animals all looked happy and well cared for. The exhibits were clean and well kept. My kids loved it. My sons favorite animal was Timmy, he didnt want to leave unless he could take Timmy home with him.
Don’t miss this. The highlight is getting to feed the animals. The monkeys are excellent at catching grapes and carrots in midair! Feed a pig a baby bottle. And send some bear kibble down the chute! A unique experience. The animals all seem well cared for and the habitats were very clean, which is important when I go to a zoo. My kids loved it and we went back two days in a row.
Went there looking for things to do in the Poconos, helps to keep the kids busy, it’s like a small Zoo, few Snakes, monkeys, bear, alligators pigs. You get to feed some of the animals for a few more bucks. Sad to see some of the animals in cage but hey… i recommend it tho.
Awesome spot to see animals. We saw and fed monkeys, gators, a black bear, turtles, pigs and goats! Lots of reptiles to see as well! Had a blast!, Even took home some jelly!
If you havent gone here yet, YOU MUST. My whole family loves this place. Its small, but awesome. My daughter no longer wants to go to one of the bigger zoos. Because her she can get close up to the different animals and feed the monkeys and bear. Oh and the staff is very friendly. Just all around a great family spot
I paid $10/person admission plus $6 for snacks for the animals and ended up having the best time! The woman at the front desk was cheerful and warm,, she explained the layout of the zoo so we could experience everything. The decor is unique and feeding the animals encourages them to come right up to you to interact, and you really get to see their personalities. The zoo has several species of reptile I havent personally seen at any other zoo Ive been to. Awesome experience for the price 👍
This place is amazing! I was worried it would be another one of those tourist traps but I couldnt have been more wrong. The people there know so much about the animals and are very friendly. Feeding the animals is really fun too. And you can pet some of them! I love animals and this place brought a huge smile to my face.
I visited the farm with my family while visiting the Pocono area. This was such a great find! We loved feeding the animals and taking a slow stroll through the farm.
Great little animal farm- zoo. Very friendly staff, seems like they are a family. Great variety of animals . Was a little crowded because we went on. A holiday, but still got right in and had a lot of fun, the grandchildren want to go back. We are all looking forward to going back.
This is a fun place to take the kids while visiting the poconos. Its smaller but family owned. The animals are well taken care of. Ive never seen dirty cages, lethargy of animals or emaciated animals. Theyre mostly all rescues. Plus the kids love to feed them the healthy snacks. We visit every time.
This was a very small zoo with mostly reptiles….. it only took approximately one hour to get through but the animals were great especially the monkeys. The owners were very accommodating to our large group and were generous with giving us extra food to feed the animals with. Very impressed!
Not a zoo but its a nice small family owned animal farm i found while visiting pa. More than just snakes. My 4 year old twins enjoyed feeding the pigs w a bottle. The staff were all lovely.
I have been going there for over 30 years. Got to see, feed and pet many animals. Ive been there when the pigs they have were tiny piglets. It was and has been my favorite place to go to see animals and now I can experience it in a different view as my son loves animals and loves to feed animals. Definitely a must do if you are in the area.The best part of it, is if you dont need alot of time to see and do everything. 30 minutes to 1 hour(depending on how many people are visiting).
We had a nice time here. Our children really enjoyed feeding the animals and interacting with the monkeys. They have a nice variety of animals and the staff is very friendly. Will return in the future.
Very fun place for a short amount of time. Wish there were more animals but staff was very friendly and overall had fun. Worth for the price though
Amazing little animal farm my kids were excited and loved the monkeys and bears! They really enjoyed feeding the pigs and goats! Nice little spot for you kids!
Great place to take the family that doesnt take up your whole afternoon. Huge variety of aminals and reptiles.+ you can feed the monkeys, bear and pigs
Its nice but pretty small. You can feed milk bottles to pigs and goats, throw fruit to monkeys (they catch it) and lemurs can get it through a little slide concoction (same with bears but they have special bear food). All animals are caged, so you can only feed them through cages. My daughter loved the piggies and kept wanting to feed them
Always wondered what this place was since I was a child. I always wondered why they said snake & animals when snakes are animals but I guess it’s what encouraged my fascination with this place even more.25 years later I finally treated myself. Pretty cool place for the kids and family. Staff was super friendly. Really good restaurant (Mad Apples) next door to take the family to eat afterwards. Highly recommend if you want to entertain the family and get something to eat at the same time!
Small place, if you go real slow, less than an hour visit. But its very clean, animals looked cared for and were active. very nice little place. would visit again!
It may look small but there are a LOT of animals to look at. You can purchase bottles of milk to feed the pigs and goats as well as fruits to feed the monkeys. Feeding and petting the pigs and goats was so much fun. Great for children too
Cute little family farm. Lots of different types of monkeys that are ready for you to feed with their hands ready to catch the pieces of fruit we bought to feed with. Also fed a pig and bear. Looking forward to seeing several alligators being moved to a pond this month. Got to support these guys.
Nice variety of animals. Got to feed a pig from a baby bottle throw food at the monkeys and watch them catch it. You had to wait in a line so they would not be too many people at one time
I liked this little treasure. It wasnt expensive and the money is going to help with the care and up keep of the animals. The staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions. It only takes about 30 minutes to see everything which some other review didnt like but with little ones thats all we needed before the meltdowns start and its time to leave anyway. Would recommend.
Is good for family and kids, a little small but enjoyable,my soon said he like it a lot! My other kid was slept... I feel sad for the old monkeys but happy too because the snake farm is caring him.
Fun for the whole family! Feeding the pigs baby bottles and the monkeys fruit is so much fun! The monkeys have so much personality too!
Very nice farm! The place is small but it allows you to see the animals closer than you would see in a zoo. Ticket is $8.5 for adult. You can pay extra for bear/monkey food/goat+ pig bottle. We also got to pet a bunny. There were some unique animals that we never got to see in the zoos we have visited, such as alligator snapping turtle and sloth.
This is a cute little place. I didn’t get the cashiers name but she was by far the most friendly and courteous person I’ve encountered. I will definitely come back with my grandkids or maybe just by myself. James and Johanna had a great time feeding the animals.
We have been here twice and loved it both times. The kids have a blast feeding the animals and watching them. Its clear the animals are very well cared for and loved. Staff is friendly, the place is clean, and getting to feed all the animals is such a treat for the kids.Unfortunately this time is was quite busy so good was limited to ensure all guests get a chance, but its understandable and the kids shared the food we had well.Its rather small, so you can enjoy the whole farm in about an hour or so. Perfect for young children and toddlers, and although its all outside the pathway is covered so you are shaded most of the time. We will absolutely be back next time we visit the Poconos!
Worthy the visit. Staff is very friendly and we had a fun time with our little daughter. She fed the pigs, goats and monkeys. You should buy this food before entering the animal area.The place is clean and is following covid rules, I was able to keep 6ft apart.Animals seems very well cared and are always friendly.I strongly recommend the visit!! We simply loved :)
A must for everyone, adults and children of all ages! So much fun! Definitely need to go! Not only do you see the animals but they share a little history about each. Price is fair, you are also able to purchase food for animals at $2 for each. Animal interaction is amazing!
Last time I was here was as a little kid. We took our 4 year old there on the way home from our visit to Bushkill a. Definitely better then some zoos we been too. While the selection of animals not as numerous as larger zoos, I have never seen animals so active before and engaging the visitors. While the price is a bit high, I would still suggest purchasing the food options for the animals. They are super cute and amazing. They catch the food in the air and eat it or you can bottle feed the pigs and goats. Well worth the stop!
I really enjoyed my visit here. I loved the animals and feeding them. It is a cute little farm that is very maintained.
This is a fun experience if you dont have a lot of time you wont spend more than an hour there. You can feed the animals to your tubes at least some of them and its fun for the kids or anyone really. The staff was nice its definitely worth checking out
This was a cute little place. A lot of animals, especially monkeys and snakes. We had a lot of fun petting and feeding the goats and pigs. The lemurs put on a really good show for us. It took about 45 minutes going through to read everything and feed the animals. Its obvious they love the animals given how they talk about them.
Small place but very cool. Very nice staff and the ability to feed monkeys, goats, pigs and even an adorable black bear. We cant wait to come back during our next visit.
Fun small zoo like place. They let you feed the animals. The staff is very friendly. The bathrooms are porta potties with no sink nearby though. They do have a sink for hand washing after you go through the main petting area.
This place is humid as hell inside but the animals are cute and awesome. You can buy a variety of food for the raccoons, lemurs, monkies, piggies, gators, goats and they also have 2 skunks, a bunny, snakes, spiders, turtles, koi fish, and a sloth! They also have a couple big cats, a couple birds and a bear that was hibernating.
Mean looking alligator 😊. There were 10 alligators inside and some cool snakes. Nice little zoo. Not too big and the kids had fun looking at the animals. Monkeys can catch the fruit you throw which was a highlight.
Cute little place. My kids loved it. For an adult, it is pretty small and seems a little run down. The animals loved gobbling down the fruit and snacks (sold separately from admission). The only onsite bathrooms are port-o-potties just outside of the entrance. Its a nice activity to take up a little bit of time, but dont expect to be there for more than an hour.As far as covid precautions, they separated parties at the entrance and only allowed so many people at a time. There was hand sanitizer at the entrance, but it wasnt exactly encouraged. Since the walk dead-ends, people end up walking both ways down the paths. That made a tough to remain physically distanced.
This place is an absolutely amazing time for a low price. 4 or 5 different species of monkeys, a bear, lots of snakes, a sloth, pigs, and goats are all so fun to see. You can buy food for certain animals and feed it to them. Throwing fruit to a monkey was really fun! Also bottle feeding the adorable pigs.
Fun little zoo! Animals are well cared for and it was fun to feed them! A little small.
Very neat little zoo! Animals are well taken care of. You can buy food to feed the monkeys, bear and alligators. You can also bottle feed the goats. Lots of fun for little kids! There is also a neat little gift shop. Price is very reasonable.
Our kids age 1 to 14 really enjoyed it. Feeding the animals was a treat for them, especially the 1 1/2 year old. Cost is very reasonable.
Feeding animal is so fun. Its not a big farm. We only spend 30 min .
Amazing place. Lets you feed the animals. Great friendly staff. Some very rare animals to see in a zoo. Definitely worth the stop.
Fun place for kids to enjoy and feed the animals. The space inside is a bit cramped, some areas you have to squeeze through if someone else is there. The main animals are the goats that you can feed with your hands. The bear and monkeys you feed from a distance. Overall good for kids.
Really cool. Fun place. Worth stopping. Small only takes about 30 minutes total but the animals are cool.
My guest and I completely loved how interactive this trip was. Feeding the animals, petting them, learning their personalities... we wish we could have stayed longer. All the animals seem content, happy, and taken care of so no complaints. The history of the place is touching and Im so glad theyre still open saving these animals. Wait until you meet Timmy and Fred! Theyre old men but they still have attitude! Haha. Would love to visit again in the summer to feed the gators.
Visited Sunday at opening with my 3yr old. Very friendly staff and a clean facility. Plenty of animals to keep the little one and myself interested at every turn. From turtles, snakes, alligators, monkeys, large cats a bear and many more. Being able to feed most of the animals makes for an interactive experience. Would come back again.
👍 very nice great for the kids i enjoyed myself, planning goin back sloth was my thing but he/she was 😴😴😴
My son and I had so much fun. Im glad they are practicing social distancing and they also have sanitizing hand wash station. Definitely would recommend going.
Another place I always stop at when I’m in the Poconos.I’m an animal lover, so I enjoy it here, especially Fred. Little 50 yr old monkey.Been seeing Fred for a loooong time.
Awesome place for adults and kids. Feed the monkeys band goats. They place is wonderful and helps rescue animals. The bear is also fun to watch and feed.
For a rescue shelter they are doing their best, and the animal interaction is very nice and amusing. The condition of the animals have nothing to do with anyone working there.Although, I do have to say, all the reptiles needed more attention. The water was always disgusting or empty. Other than that. A good experience
Not very big but definitely fun for our granddaughter. Fun feeding the animals.
Very well kept. Animals were great to see!!
A+ place! Highly recommend. Especially during a rainy day.
This was an awesome little zoo. You can buy food to feed the animals or even bottle feed the pigs.
Very fun. Got to feed all the animals and goats. Very nice workers and beautiful animals, also wasnt too expensive
Really interesting place. It is small but goes really quick. Decent enough variety of animals. It is a quick stop to do with the kids if you are in the area
Short tour to keep kids attention, ADORABLE animals in well-kept, clean environs - and you can feed them! Tons of fun for the family!
It was a good awesome time but I guess the older guy who works with the actually animals is a little snappie but as we enter the lady at the front was sweet and nice and polite went the extra mile it seem like the guy though wanted to push everyone away so he could go home son ask to see if he could watch put the animals away and he looked at him through his hands up in the air and whats like what and my 6 year old son just wanted to see him grab them and put them away he is just ignorant another than that half of the animals were there cobra was gone couple others to they had were gone they could do a little better on maintenance but was a good 15 min walk through
They are the best of the world you could grab and play with every single one of those of you like you not like every other animals you can just look see a little bit but please dont watch you come here to play with you thats how good they are!!!!
We say this on our way home from Bushkill falls. Kids wanted to stop. On a whim we wanted to see what it was about. The kids were super excited. We love feeding tbe goats, pjgs, and monkeys. A must see
The animals live in cages. To my knowledge, these people arent wildlife biologists; they want your money at the expense of keeping animals in captivity. Some of the animals appear to have been lacking professional veterinary care. The black bear appears to have dental decay. Apparently the U.S. Department of Agriculture performed an inspection on June 17th; according to their inspection report, the last time the bear had an oral exam by a veterinarian was over 10 years ago! The USDA inspection report is publicly available online.
People friendlyNot as big as i thought, but was worth it
Such a sad place. These poor animals are confined to small, unnatural enclosures. The USDA has had to intervene due to the lack of veterinary care. Giving your time and money to this place allows them to continue to treat these animals in an uncaring and neglectful manner.
It was amazing. Loved every moment of it. A great family outing
This was my son’s favorite part of our trip! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can clearly see their passion for the animals. I love the variety of animals. The snake collection is the biggest I’ve ever seen. It was also a great experience feeding the animals. It was the first time I fed a bear lol. The monkeys are hilarious. The Snake & Animal Farm is a fun experience for all ages.
Its a small place but the interaction with the animals makes up for it. My kids loved it.
Such a fun time here and the monkeys were hands down my fav. If you have kids make sure you grab some food and milk to feed the animals.
Great little place to stop and spend an hour. Best thing to do is feed the animals. They are cute and will catch food that you toss them. Favorite was raccoons and seeing the venomous snakes.
Great for little kids and parents who dont want to go to the big zoos
We stopped here on the way out of town and it was great!! Lots of fun animals for the kids (5 and 8) and they loved feeding the monkeys :)
This place is perfect especially for little ones or just a quick visit to the zoo. Feeding the pigs or bear is probably my favorite but there are many animals to look at. Best time to go is when its raining! Not many people there and theres a roof over your head as you walk through. Will definitely be coming here frequently!
This is a really small place, but worth the stop. We drop in everytime we aer in the area and have seen the animals many times through the yeara and we still love to stop in.
Small, but very well maintained. Perfect size for a 3 year old. I like how they portion control the food as to not overfeed the animals.
Wonderful exhibits, you get to feed the animals! Its better than the Philly zoo. Brilliant process which allows you to interact with some of the animals. Admission and food fees are worth the experience. Great for school aged children learning about animals.
We absolutely loved it here! The kids, grandparents and parents all enjoyed it so much and we cant wait to go back. We wish we could have purchased more food for the animals, we have 2 children and were only allowed to buy 1 tray. We honestly could have stayed there all day feeding the adorable animals.
Ok so this place is great for the children and adults who love feeding pets and getting a peak at rescued animals. The staff is so kind and they also jave a little shop inside which I feel for the poconos is ver fair priced.I grabbed some jam and bottled fed some pigs and goats honest it was just a great little stop! Enjoy
This was a great experience for the whole family. The animal caregiver at the reception desk took time to introduce the animal habitat and some ground rules to us. We followed and enjoyed petting turtles, feed goats, monkeys, lemurs, black bear and pigs. We never saw so many snakes and crocs in one place! I highly recommend visiting this farm
Enclosures look small and cramped for these animals that should have wide open spaces and not just cold concrete blocks to sit and lay on. Aside from visitors feeding them through a pvc pipe I hope they get actual meals and necessary nutrients they need. I feel sad for them.
This place is very small, I definitely thought it would be bigger. My 4 kids seemed to enjoy it. It was really cool feeding the animals... pigs, goats, monkeys, raccoons, a bear.
Fun family friendly attraction. We love coming here, the outside animals are always out and the inside animals enclosures are always clean and easy to see through. The kids love it here and its affordable. Parking is easy and the place is traditionally clean and friendly.
Its a small sanctuary but staff was courteous and you can move about at your leisure. Prices were modest and feeding the animals was fun. My little one loved it.
Came to visit the Snake & Animal Farm with my girlfriend. This place is really fun! Entrance fee is so cheap, you can see Lemurs, Monkeys, snakes, chinchillas ! Fun experience!
I brought my 4 year old & he loved it. We went at opening time & fed all the animals we could before it got a little too busy for people to move freely. I’d definitely go again.

2022-05-03It’s a small but very nice place. We kinda went in when it was still cold out so the gators were all inside. But everyone of the staff was really nice and the animals were very well taken care of! Great place to take the kids and watch how excited they get to see all the animals!

2022-06-08We had a great time here. It was super fun to feed the animals and it was much larger than we originally thought. Their is a large array of various animals and the owners were super nice. This is definitely a place we will visit again.

2022-06-11Small family run animal farm, very attractive for kids. Buy feeding tray to feed monkeys who catch tossed food, feed milk bottle to the goats and pigs, dry food for the black bear. Next to the busy road, be careful with kids. Took us 30 min to see all.

2022-07-01Very nice, small little zoo! I spent about an hour just walking around and learning about the different animals. Theyre all very well taken care of! Definitely would recommend to others looking for something fun to do on a low-key day.

2021-09-07Very friendly and informative employees. Animals are cute and reactive around visitors and seem well taken care of. They use quality food to feed their animals and it was a very fun pit stop for our trip to the Poconos. I fell in love with the pigs. They were so cuddly and loved interacting with people.
Review №6
2021-08-20Fun kids animal/zoo place in Poconos. Clean and very organized. They have feeding options for kids to feed the animals. Most important thing we noticed that all animals have interesting background history. If you are in Poconos with family, this is a definitely good spot for visiting.
Review №7
2022-05-16We love this place!!! Its small but that makes it great for us! I have an autistic child that cant handle big crowds! This place spaces the groups of people coming in, so they dont have a lot of people in at one time! Its also small enough that you can be in and out within an hour and see and do everything in that time frame! The staff was very friendly and inviting! A must see and we will be back! The best part was getting to fees the monkeys! So amazing!

2021-07-12Very cool and affordable little zoo staffed by super friendly and knowledgeable folks, I wasnt disappointed. Price point is great and includes a tray of fruit, dry pellets and a baby bottle filled with milk to hand feed the piggies. Great for any animal lover looking to interact with some critters and especially great for kids!

2021-07-12This actually turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I¹ll be honest, I have probably driven right past this place at least 2 or 3 times a week for over a quarter of a century and never stopped. My wife and I had some of our grandchildren with us. The weather was uncooperative for outdoor events, and as we were passing by my wife suggested we take them here. It was GREAT. The kids had a ball feeding the animals in the petting area. It was way more than just snakes. There were monkeys, sloths, raccoons, lemurs, parrots, Bob cats, pigs, even a bear. The list goes on. Not overly crowded, you get to go at your own pace. Reasonable, family friendly, clean, all in all, a great little place to take the kids for a few hours.
