💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Book your visit in advance to guarantee a time slot, as walk-ins are only accepted on a limited basis. The one-hour time slots are thoughtfully designed to allow animals adequate rest between groups.
  • 💡This attraction is perfectly suited for toddlers and very young children (even 1-year-olds enjoy it). The space is intentionally set up for safety and accessibility for little ones, making it an ideal outing for families with children 5 and under.
  • 💡The staff are genuinely knowledgeable and passionate about the animals—don't hesitate to ask questions during your visit. They're happy to share information about individual animals like the named favorites (Fern, Sheldon, and Oreo) and their care.
  • 💡Plan to spend your full one-hour slot interacting with and feeding the animals (donkeys, alpacas, goats, and others), then explore the peaceful pond walk nearby to end your visit on a relaxing note.
  • 💡Remember to sign the waiver before your visit begins. The clean, calm environment and well-cared-for animals create a stress-free experience suitable for both young children and adults seeking a wholesome afternoon activity.
