💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Book your VIP tour appointment at least two weeks in advance, especially for Saturdays. Call the owner directly to secure your spot—walk-ins are not permitted. Tours during 8am-noon feeding times offer the most immersive animal interaction experience.
  • 💡Wear closed-toed shoes, a hat, and avoid jewelry for VIP tours. Dress for muddy conditions, particularly after rain. The farm operates in all weather conditions, so come prepared.
  • 💡There are no bathrooms on-site—stop at the nearby gas station before arriving. Plan to spend 2-3 hours to fully experience the animals and the gift shop.
  • 💡Choose the 'Pick 2' experience package to interact with your choice of animals like bunnies and capybaras. Staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and will answer detailed questions about animal care and behavior throughout your visit.
  • 💡Bring fresh fruits and vegetables to feed the animals—they love human interaction and fresh produce. Check the gift shop for unique items like Todd's capybara book written by the farm owner.
