Wonderful, outdoor destination for all ages! Spending a few hours breathing fresh mountain air can be downright therapeutic. Paired with an unforgettable opportunity to learn about unique and beautiful animals that you can feed by hand is priceless. How many people can say they've touched a zebra? I have. You have no idea how large an ostrich really is until you've looked one in the eye. (Caution: You might strain your neck!) You think tortoises are slow and steady? Guess again! Or better yet, come out to the farm and see for yourself. Wear closed toe shoes and expect to get a little dirty. It's worth the drive. You won't regret it!

This place is amazing! Staffs are very friendly here. We were each given a full bucket of food to feed the animals. Almost all of the animals will approach you when they see food (except the ones that can be feed). 2 puppies named Belle and Athos kept us company along the way, they are so sweet. We will definitely visit again!

Great place to take the kids. They give you a bucket of fresh grown barley to feed the animals. My kids just loved interacting with the animals and getting up close, especially the tortoises and pigs. Can walk thru the park in a little over an hour, and they have picnic tables by the zebras to eat lunch at. Definitely recommend going here.

I took my son here on a whim and he had a lot of fun, the staff was nice and the grounds where as clean as good be with the animals there, my son and I also like that we could feed/pet the animals and the feed is covered in the cost of admission.. so if your looking for something to do on a Saturday or Sunday this is a fun little place.

What a fun and relaxing place! They limit daily attendance so it's never crowded or noisy. The animals have unique personalities and it's so fun to watch them interact. They're all used to people and come running over for food so you actually see them up close. You can wander around at your own pace visiting mini horses, zebras, sulcata tortoises, camels, pigs, goats, and much more. I highly recommend doing one of the "up close and personal" options or the other special tours. Such a great value, and what a unique experience!
