💬 What Visitors Say

💬Purchase tickets through Groupon for significant savings (reviewers reported paying $8 for two tickets). Note that expired Groupon vouchers are still accepted at the facility.
💬Plan for 1-2 hours of visit time. The barn area tours quickly (approximately 5 minutes), but you can extend your experience by participating in pony rides, tractor rides, train rides, and hand-feeding animals with provided pellets.
💬This is a small working farm rather than a traditional zoo. You can pet and feed goats, cows, and horses with provided feed pellets, but other animals (pigs, ostriches, donkeys) can only be viewed. Clarify which animals are interactive before visiting.
💡Hand-feeding animals is the highlight experience—reviewers frequently mentioned feeding goats, burros, cows, and other animals as a major draw. Arrive prepared to participate in this interactive activity.
💡Call ahead before visiting on rainy days to confirm the facility is open, as weather can affect operations at this farm-based attraction.
