💬 What Visitors Say
- Plan for at least 2 hours even if you think you'll stay 1 hour—visitors consistently report getting so engaged with the animals that they stay much longer than expected. The hands-on feeding and petting experiences are deeply engaging for both kids and adults.
- Bring your own water and wear sunscreen or plan to time your visit early in the day. Reviewers noted limited shade on the walking path, and the facility doesn't sell water on-site.
- Check the venue's Facebook page before visiting to confirm current hours and Friday availability, as the schedule changes seasonally and Fridays may occasionally be open with advance notice. Walk-ins only—no reservations are accepted.
- The special encounter packages ($80-100+) that include the petting zoo tour, feeding experience, and close interactions with sloths and capybaras offer excellent value and are worth the investment based on visitor feedback about unforgettable experiences.
- The staff are highly knowledgeable and engaging—take advantage of their availability to learn facts about the animals and their care. Visitors specifically praised the informative and interactive nature of the staff, which enhances the educational experience.
