Great experience

Family owned business. The owners are passionate about animals and the care of animals and it is apparent in everything they do at the Giraffe Ranch. We enjoyed the experience, including feeding the giraffes.

Thank you for your feedback, which I will be sure to share with ownership. Since our animals are free-roaming--although behind perimeter fencing for their protection as well as the protection of our guests--we cannot control their behavior and feedings. If you would like any additional...More
