Visit on a clear, dry day as operations are weather-permitting and hours can change without notice. Call ahead to confirm the ranch is open before making the trip.
Visitor tip
The animals are notably gentle and accustomed to petting and feeding. You'll interact with ostriches, kangaroos, goats, alpacas, wallabies, cows, and chickens - check if any baby animals (like baby wallabies) are currently on-site for special viewing opportunities.

Mostly goats, some kangaroos and ostriches, and 2 cows. It's a cute little stop. I would go again. All of the animals are gentle and will let you pet them. $3 entrance fee per person. $1 for kids. It's a quick pitstop and worth a drop by.
Got to pet kangaroos. Hold a baby goat. Almost took one home with me. Lol kind of small little adventure. Deffinantley only a 30 min side stop to enjoy. Plan other things. 5 dollar entry per person. 10 for food per bag.
