💬 What Visitors Say

• 💬Bring hand sanitizer or wipes when visiting - the goats eat directly from your hands and visitors recommend washing before and after the petting experience. Hand sanitizer is available on-site but consider bringing wet wipes for a more thorough clean.
• 💬Budget 30-45 minutes for the petting zoo experience. While the space is small and circular, most visitors find this duration sufficient to interact with the animals, especially if you purchase the feed cup ($4) to maximize animal engagement.
• 💬Purchase the feed cup ($4 per person) to significantly enhance your experience - animals pay attention primarily when food is involved. Watch your hands while feeding as goats may gently bite after the food is consumed, mistaking your hand for additional food.
• 🕐Visit during spring season to see baby animals, particularly baby goats and lambs, which visitors consistently noted as especially lovable and gentle for young children. Plan ahead as this is peak season for families.
• 💡Arrive 30 minutes early for scheduled cattle drive events to hear staff explanations and get the full educational context of the experience, rather than just arriving for the event itself.
