My daughter, an avid animal lover, and I got to enjoy Hannimal Farms and their furry friends while attending a local Church's Easter Egg Hunt event. Obsessed! Looking forward to their upcoming Mother's Day event and my daughter is already asking to book their mobile barnyard for her fall birthday.

This was the most incredible experience ever! My husband got the Valentine’s cuddle gram for our daughter and I and had two goats and two mini cows come. We got to play with them in our backyard and feed them carrots. It was so special spending time with them and getting to know all about them from Brittany, who was so kind! We will be requesting every cuddle gram and experience that they offer because it is so much fun for the whole family! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful experience! My husband and I got our meet up location mixed up, We went to the farm and Brittany came to our place. She was understanding over the mix up and was able to work us in. We got to spend time with all the animals and Ryan told us about each one of them and how they came to join their farm/family. He introduced us to Lenny the emu and I’m terrified of birds…..sure enough with confidence I faced my fear and gently petted him. (He was so sweet and loved his neck rubbed) who knew ? Bonus I even got to learn about his double feathers and was given one as a Memento of my achievement lol. If you love adorable dogs who are full of affection Sophie and Remmie are ready to greet you upon arrival. Thanks so much for having us
