This is a little off the beaten path but well worth the drive and easy to find. Lots of animals and you can get as close as you want. Where else can you pet a camel?? LOL !! Very reasonable price and they even let you feed the animals. Don't pass this up if you like wildlife. More

Excellent place to take kids. Close-up experience of various animals. It is a bit rustic, but gives kids a better idea of animal environment. More

We were a couple with a toddler (celebrated her 2nd birthday while on this vacation). Toddler had been to zoos before, but never a petting zoo, so though she was initially intimidated and shy, she warmed up quickly to the idea of feeding the animals and petting the goats. Especially exciting was the newborn goats, less than two weeks old!... More

All the animals are very friendly. The only animal that ignored us was the kangroos. The animals were not as agressive as some petting zoos I have been too. You can tell the animals are treated well. The pens and animals were clean. More

The girl behind the counter was very friendly and greeted my family as soon as we walked in. She was informative, polite, friendly, and professional. She seemed like she enjoyed her job. She explained to us which animals we could feed and gave tips for us to use when interacting with the animals. The animals were all friendly and my... More

If you like feeding cute animals, you'll like this place. My 15 year old daugher loved it and so did we. The animals looked well, and most of them came over to eat, even though we arrived quite late in the day. Some of the animals are quite common - like deers, horses and goats (but they're still cute). But... More

We were first time visitors and my three yr old loved it. The people working there were so friendly especially the young man working the pony ride. The pony ride itself is worth the drive. Will deff return on our next visit. More

Although we did get to go horseback riding we visited the zoo, fed and re-fed all the animals. What a gentle group there...the goats were just a hoot. The camels were so funny to watch crunch their treat. It's a wonderful place, with a very friendly staff. I read reviews about a mishap with Joe, saw him and not so... More
