We took our 13 and 16 year old sons who really enjoyed hanging out with the animals. The property is really nice and a great atmosphere to sit and hang out. The staff have been wonderful from biking the event to leaving. We had the 9:30 am feeding and the parking lot entrance gate is closed when you arrive. Staff said to enter through the exit and park upon our arrival.

My kids (ages 5 and 6) and I went here for the first time today and had a great time! Definitely worth the discounted price! Staff was super friendly. We saw goats, bunnies, tortoises, ponies, pigs, chickens, a cow and a horse. They loved the jump pad and we also enjoyed the mini golf.
