💬 What Visitors Say

💬Bring cash for optional activities and food/drinks, as the snack bar and some vendors operate on cash-only basis. Plan an extra $10-15 per person for train rides ($5/person), pony rides ($5/person), and animal feed purchases.
🕐Visit on a weekday or check Facebook/Instagram before going, as the venue may close early or for the entire day during heavy rain or severe weather conditions. Perfect weather days (not too hot or cold) make the experience more enjoyable for extended outdoor animal interactions.
💡Start at the Baby Barn to hold baby rabbits, chicks, and guinea pigs—visitors consistently highlight this as a memorable, relaxing experience. The baby goats are also popular but noted as 'escape artists,' so supervise closely.
💡Young children (ages 4-6) will spend 2-3 hours enjoying the petting areas, playgrounds, train ride, and puppet show. The facility has ample shaded seating and benches throughout, making it manageable for families with small children without getting overwhelmed.
💬Only use zoo-provided feed when hand-feeding animals, and use an open hand or dish method. Take advantage of the numerous handwashing stations conveniently located throughout the 10-acre park to maintain hygiene after animal interactions.
