What parents say
"I brought my 4 year old daughter here today and it was great! She loved having all the animals attention and being able to feed them as many carrots as she wanted. She also loved the playground. It was $8/person and that included 2 pint size baskets of carrots per person. We will be back and definitely recommend it to our friends with young children."

"Such a cute little petting zoo! Priced affordably at $8 per person (Under 2 are free). Includes 2 baskets of veggies per person to feed the animals. Goats, ponies, cows, sheep, goats and more. After you're done with the animals, there is a play area with lots of play structures, a Zipline for kids and a shaded picnic area. It's a great place to relax and let your kids get dirty for a couple of hours."

"nice enough. based on reviews, I was honestly expecting a bigger space/more animals, but my 2 1/2y/o had a blast regardless. although we didn't play on any of the players during our first visit, there looked to be plenty to chose from. overall a very nice experience, and worth the price if you stay a little bit."
