The first thing we noticed was the awful smell. Soon as we got out of our car all we could smell was manure. Of course, we grew up on a farm so we know animals DO stink but this smell was overpowering. The place is very run down. My kids wanted to ride the ponies first. The ponies are cute... more

Fantastic!

I expected a couple of goats in a pen and boy, was I surprised! They have a very nice selection of incredibly friendly and gentle goats, and they even encouraged us to pick up the babies. In addition, there is a very nice selection of exotic animals, including zebras, camels, and reindeer. My two little ones rode ponies. The six-year-old... more

Could definatly use updating, the fences were rusty and worn, signs were very poor. Animals did appear to be taken care of but were in very old cages. Might have been good back in its day but today it is getting to be in rough shape. more

Me, my boyfriend and my two kids, age 8 and 5 went here on August 8th, 2009. This was such a great place. You can feed the animals and get in the cages of some of them. They also have pony rides for the little ones. Love it so much! more

Very good!

What a wonderful place, animals are well kept with lots of opportunities to get up close with them. Our whole family enjoyed it and it is a little off the beaten path but you won't be sorry you made the trip! more

My children, husband, and I made a stop by the Deer Farm, located near the Forbidden Cavern. We were unsure about what we'd find, but we were pleasantly surprised. We booked a 1/2 hour riding tour with Chris, who was the nicest guide. My four-year old son was put on to a horse named Buddy who was tethered to the... more

If you love animals and like to interact by hand feeding them, this is a nice hour or two experience close to Sevierville (east). You could do this and the Forbidden Caverns the same day. It is in Tennessee so expect some sloped gravel walk ways, but there are lots of animals to see and feed. The feed is available... more
