💬 What Visitors Say

💡Bring food in closed, secure containers for your visit. Goats are notorious for trying to access uncovered food, so pack snacks and lunches in containers with lids to protect your items.
💬Plan for approximately one hour to experience the full petting zoo. This is the ideal time to interact with over 30 animals without feeling rushed, making it perfect for families with young children.
💡Bring fresh fruits and vegetables from home to feed the animals special treats. Staff will guide you on which foods are safe for each animal and demonstrate proper feeding techniques, making it an educational and interactive experience.
💡Take advantage of the knowledgeable and friendly staff who actively educate visitors about the animals. Don't hesitate to ask questions—staff are willing to teach children and adults about animal care, behavior, and safety.
💬Feed prices are extremely affordable ($2-$10 per cup/bucket) and admission costs are very reasonable. Budget for purchasing feed on-site as it's a great value and enhances the interactive experience.
