💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Plan to spend quality time at the capybara and camel exhibits - these are the most popular and memorable experiences. Visitors consistently highlight these as must-do encounters, so arrive early or allocate extra time for these areas.
  • 💡If you have mobility concerns, you can see most animals without climbing the steep hill. The main barn area and surrounding 30-foot radius contain the majority of animals on level ground. Only the upper hill path with unlevel grass is needed to access cows and llamas.
  • 💡The prairie dog encounter is a specialized experience that generates exceptional visitor satisfaction. If available, ask about booking or timing for this specific encounter to make the most of your visit.
  • 💡Bring hand sanitizer or plan to wash hands after feeding and petting animals. While the facility maintains spotless habitats and friendly animals, this is standard practice for petting zoos. The staff is accommodating, so ask about hand-washing facilities.
  • 💡The admission price is notably affordable according to visitor reviews. Budget 2-3 hours to comfortably feed, pet, and interact with the variety of animals without rushing through the experience.
