I had seen the other reviews and thought we give this a try, as we were staying close by. We had a lot of laughs and a great time. The animals are way overfed, and some are aggressive for food, but you definitely get up close with them. My kids (15, 13, 11) all had fun, and enjoyed the variety... more

I come from the city so to see any animal this close up is a great experience! This place has 700 animals and its seemed like we saw many of them. It is essential to buy a $3.00 feed bucket as you will have tons more fun if you do. The map said you are not supposed to feed the... more

We love going here through out the year. You can drive through or take a wagon ride tour of the park. The kids and most adults get a kick out of feeding the animals. They have a great picnic and play area as well. more

This is one of those great attractions in NC that is a totally MUST see! Once you find this place you drive through there welcoming entrance with llamas, donkeys, etc. roaming about fenceless. There are two ways to have fun in this ranch. You take the wagon ride safari, or you have your own safari in your own car. Either... more
