Very nice staff. All the animals are friendly. Its a very small place but I would recommend it for sure 😁
Great for smaller kids to feed,pet and learn about animals.
Kind of over priced for the experience. Everyone was really kind and helpful. You can pay for a cup of food which is a single piece of Romaine and a couple of carrot sticks. Kids play area not shaded so toys were too hot to play with. It’s pretty small so it’s over pretty quickly. Overall it was ok but I do feel bad that parents with multiple children, they could be paying quite a lot for a short experience at $10 a person.
Absolutely fantastic experience that included 3 kids ages 4, 4 and 2. The caretakers do a great job with the animals, which are super friendly and you can pet and fees most of them. The show is also excellent.
We had a great morning there! My kids could have stayed for hours more if it wasn’t going to rain. Everyone there, including Lynn the owner, was so friendly and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely be back as a family, and my kids are super excited for camp there this summer! Highly recommend!
I LOVED this place!!!!!! My bf and I brought our son here and it was well worth the $10 & the $ toward the food to feed the animals!!! The owner and staff were very welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful when it came to their zoo!! We fed multiple animals and got to interact/touch hold specific animals/bugs which was super neat. The sand/corn table area was super duper cute and my son enjoyed it very much! The animals were amazing (especially the camels!) and of course I bought a shirt before we left! Thanks for the fun visit! See you next year!! :)
FANTASTIC PLACE! I loved everything about this beautiful farm. Wasn’t too big, wasn’t too small. It was just perfect. The staff were amazing. Very informative. It felt like we were welcomed into a family farm and spend the day helping them look after the animals rather than a trip to the zoo. Definitely going back with my little girl.
Absolutely loved this place. One of the few petting zoos where you can get very up close with some of the animals. The staff was very knowledgeable and kind. Such a great place to take a family or just to go with your friends. Admission is only 10$ and they offer cups of fresh vegetables to feed the animals at a small cost. All of the animals are so sweet and it is clear they are very well cared for. Do not hesitate to go here, it is such a wonderful experience.
My sister in law and I took my nephew for something to do this weekend and it was really nice! You can tell the animals are loved and well cared for. You can feed some of the animals fresh carrots, and my favorite; feed the tortoise. My nephew enjoyed interacting with all of the animals and the staff was absolutely wonderful.
We visited today and the kids had such a great time. We were really impressed with a young girl that was working there and took the time to explain all about the animals. She also took some of them out of their houses for my girls to pet and hold. Very nice place!
Upon arriving we were greeted by super friendly and courteous caretaker. When we entered staff were always available, were very knowledgeable and extremely happy to answer any and all questions about their animals, which, by the way, are all very well taken care of. Place is very clean. My wife, who is an animal activist, was very impressed with them. Only slight drawback is that its a bit small; wished they had a bit more variety of animals to interact with. With that said, if you have younger children this is a great place to introduce them to animals.
Great staff, $10 entry but the place is kind of small. Theres two enclosures you enter one with a calf, goats, pigs; another with a bunny, couple chickens and a tortoise. Theres also openings you can walk up to with horses and donkeys. The zebras and camels are not really pettable. The kangaroos were in hiding. Staff is great with telling you about the animals habits and habitats. They also have a constrictor snake and a monitor lizard they bring out to show. I say its worth the trip and the 60-90 minutes to introduce your little one to some cute animals.
They had a bunny, two kangaroos. Two silky chickens,Three camels, some cockroaches, A cow, five to six goats,couple of donkeys, zebras, a giant snake, a giant lizard, four or five horses, genie pig and a fifteen year old tortoise. Kids will enjoy by petting and touching the animals. They are charging 10$ but it is too costly for the area and the animals they are having. We can spend hardly one hour in the zoo.
We have been to many many zoos and farms, but this one is definitely the cutest! My girls absolutely loved it! They had a chance to brush, pet, and hug baby animals. Baby cow was the hit! There are also zebras, donkeys, and camels. The show with a snake and lizard was very informative and interesting. I loved how the animals were well taken care of - I saw a worker hugging and kissing a baby lamb.
It wasnt our first choice, my grandkids are 2 & 4 so they had fun. There really arent that many animals, I personally thought it was a little high priced, for only having about 12 animals.
Please go to see and pet these animals. All proceeds go towards caring for them. Most of the animals are very tame. There are 2 kangaroos, zebras, donkeys, horses, tortoise, camels,rabbits, chickens, goats, pigs,snake, roaches, a huge lizard and more. You get to feed and pet most of them. Take your kids $10 entry fee with $3 to purchase a feeding cup. Take your future vets.
You just have to go there! Its wonderful.The whole experience is great! They are not only friendly but also educational! Lynn does a very informative talk at the camel feeding ( I think she knows EVERYTHING) and Shannon is a reptile expert! You have to experience it for yourself!
Great fun with our family. Very interactive and the staff and owner were wonderful! :)
Very nice there. The staff is very kind and answered any questions that I had about the animals there. Worth the couple of dollars. Had a very good time all while learning things about the animals they have there.
It is a zoo with couple of animals, nothing big but I wasnt bad.Great for little kids
Awesome people - everyone is so nice. The kids had so much fun petting the animals! Definitely worth a visit :)
Such a great experience for little ones! Brought and 1 & 2 year old there. They loved it so much! Spent an hour there. 🦓🐫🐷🐐🐑🐇🦘
You could tell the people running the little zoo really loved the animals and took good care of them. They only have a porta- potty so be prepared if you bring a toddler by yourself
Just the right size for family fun. Staff is awesome. The animals are well taken care of and friendly.
Small but great for kids and the family for a few hours of fun! Definitely recommend it.
A great place to take young children they will have a great time. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I recommend to anyone with young children
Hands on, educational, and personal. Owner takes time to educate visitors about animals. Animals are well cared for and live the attention!
Up close and personal with friendly, healthy, happy goats, camels, pigs, and sheep! Small zoo with nice, clean facility with a zookeeper who loves and cares for them all.
Nice little petting zoo for the kids. Lots of goats, some kangaroo, camels, and even some zebras.
Really cute petting zoo. Very kind people. Super accommodating of my child with special needs.
It wasnt what people said. I was very disappointed. Place need to rearrange and put more animals. Also play some music for children. If you ask me if I come back there NO.
Fantastic educational experience for children AND grown-ups. Super friendly staff, and gentle, gentle animals.
Great place! Small. Very interactive and you learn a lot! Great family fun!

Kimda cool for a petting zoo
Great place
Its a very small farm...only good for little kids. One of the staffs is very mean. She wouldnt allow standing nor parking in their parking lot if you decided not to go in. I wouldnt recommend it. The nearby zoo is way better for kids in all ages.
So cute

2021-08-13We had my sons 7th birthday party here 8/7/21. All the kids and adults had a great time! The reptile show was fun and informative. All the animals were loving the attention and the staff is friendly and AMAZING! I would definitely suggest checking this place out either for a fun experience or renting out their party room. It will make for a memorable event 🙂 You dont have to be a kid or have a kid to come here...its fun for adults too!

2020-09-20Nice old school fun. Good exposure to the animals for kids. Even with the lockdown the animals are still quite comfortable around children. The playground equipment and toy animals for the younger children keep my boy busy for over two hours. Although I didnt need it, it would be nice to see a discount for larger family groups.

2020-07-16The ladies who run this are so generous with their time and knowledge. I wasnt expecting much since its really just a few animals in a parking lot but was pleasantly surprised. All that really mattered was my grandson had a great time brushing the goats, hugging the rabbit and touching a snake as well as hissing cockroaches

2018-07-16This place just opened last week (July 2018). We were in town visiting family and happened to see it from the road so we stopped by with our daughter. Its a petting zoo. There are sheep, goats, a little cow and a tortoise you can pet. There is also a creepy crawly talk with a ball python, Madagascar hissing cockroaches and a tarantula. There are corn and sand tables for the kiddos. They also have 4 camels that you can pay to feed carrots to. There are 2 donkeys, 2 zonkeys and 2 zebras if my memory serves me correctly. It costs 8 dollars per person but children 2 and under are free. It was worth the 8 dollars and feeding the camels was really cool. Staff is super friendly. Good way to spend an hour or 2 😊 q
