    Different experience that you will enjoy

    Very neat place if you like to feed all kinds of animals. They offer horseback riding but didn’t try that on this trip. Very fun spot to get up close to some different kinds of animals.

    Pony Rides...OPEN at 10:30am

    We stop here each summer for the kids. They really enjoy the pony rides here. They say that anyone weighing less than 100 lbs and measuring under 56 inches tall can ride their ponies. However, I think our kids may be outgrowing the ponies before...More

    Great petting zoo for kids

    We love the baby goats - they are soft and cuddly - if you can catch them. Some still had the umbilical cord still attached they were so young. Other great animals to feed besides the goats, deer and camel are fun.

    Great for animal lovers...

    This was me and my mom's second visit to the Deer Farm. We also brought my 6 year old nephew. He loved being in the deer pen. He also enjoyed feeding all the animals. He also enjoyed playing with the cat indoors.

    Great farm and horse rides

    We had a great time in the petting zoo, our 2 yr old had a blast feeding the goats. The horse back rides were great and being able to ride with our son was awesome. Highly recommended

    Great for Families!

    We took 4 children and they had a great time. There were baby goats to snuggle and deer, llama, horses, ponies to feed. You purchase feed cups at the beginning and can refill along the way. It was a great time for everyone!
