Great animal experience. Quite close to many, if not most, animals. I was quite surprised at how many animals were there, and the proximity to the people. Very safe, and friendly staff, make for a good experience for all.

Great place to take the family! We took our daughter and her family and we all had a great time. Very nice facility.

The best! Animals were well taken care of and the park is very clean. Of course having April is just another +!

Home to lots of cool animals that you can feed yourself. Doesn't cost very much, but there is very little shade so make sure that you bring a hat if you go on a hot day. Sometimes it can get crowded but it's still worth it! Really good for kids.

This is great way to experience unique animals up close. The grandkids loved getting to feed the animals and the bucket of food went much farther than we thought! We will go back again!

Beautiful park, well cared for animals. A lot of interaction with many of the animals. Pricey, but they have to take care of all those animals. Take cash is available.

Was supposed to go to the NYS fair but decided to just drive the extra hour to go here. It was so much fun. My son loved it.

Animal Adventure Park, with its diverse animal collection and wonderful staff, should be put towards the top of your bucket list! Definitely worth our 9.5 hour drive to AAP! The Park is family friendly, and I was impressed when I noticed that every section of the Park is handicap friendly as well. We did the Sloth Encounter, and I highly recommend it - Kyle (keeper) was kind, knowledgeable and funny! Each staff member I encountered from beginning to end was helpful, courteous and seemed genuinely interested in our experience at the Park. I'm not sure how many carrots I fed to April, Oliver and Tajiri, but one thing is for sure.you don't get this kind of up close and personal experience feeding giraffes at the "bigger" zoos! I had to be a Big Kid and do the Gem Mining activity as well - I took home several beautiful rocks, gems, arrowheads and fossils - what fun! Looking forward to visiting the park again!

Average experience at best. 14$ per adult seems a bit heavy, plus buying feed and expensive concessions, it adds up.

Some of the staff is friendly, some of them aren't. They are particularly rude around the Giraffe exhibit. A good moment was ruined by a staff member at that particular exhibit and it overall ruined the general experience.

Didn't have a chance to try the food because they close the concession stands 2 hours early apparently.

Underwhelming, but it's something to do, not sure if it's worth your time and money though.

So glad I got to see Tajiri before he leaves the park. Nice clean, family oriented park. I give it five out of five stars!

A large selection of well cared for animals, many you can feed. Loved feeding the giraffes. Owner is always expending. A great place!

Amazing place with animals that are happy and well taken care of. And as a response to a previous comment, DO NOT try to bring your own fruits and veggies to feed the animals. It's not allowed for good reason. Anything you bring in could be contaminated by who knows what and could endanger the animals.

We loved our trip to the Animal Adventure Park! It was wonderful feeding all of the animals! Our son loved it! And a big thank you to Robin who was running the train. She made sure our son had the best time and even let me ring the bell and toot the horn! Wonderful lifelong memories!

This park is simply amazing! The fact that they have used their success to further the park for future visitors and to help animals in the wild is just wonderful. We were very impressed with how clean the park was, how well the animals areas were, and how healthy the animals all appeared. My favorite is April, Tajiri and Oliver, the giraffes! I am always filled with awe and honored to have the privilege to feed them, pet them and to be so close to them! We cannot recommend Animal Adventure Park enough.

This place is amazing! It's beautiful and clean and full of excitement. You can pet and feed almost all of the animals. You can tell the animals here are loved and well taken care of. I will visit this place again really soon. It's worth every penny.

BEST ANIMAL PARK EVER, HANDS ON AND CLOSER THAN MOST USUALLY GET TO THE ANIMALS!

April the Giraffe and Oliver and Tajiri! Most friendliest giraffes I have ever seen or in this case met! The park is very intimate and you can tell when you first arrive that the employees love to be here! Joel, Lucas, Cory, and Olivia, a few of the caretakers, are so proud and so knowledgeable about the park and specifically for the animals they care for. It's like they are their family and babies and really care in detail about the animal's care down to specifics including toys they like (Joel) and handling, food and personalities.
Thx to Olivia for her Sloth encounter and letting us hold and love the baby 3 toed sloth, an unique experience. We were so lucky to be there when the owner, Jordan Patch, was there to give the giraffe talk, and I videoed the whole talk but Tajiri the young giraffe stole the show, check out the youtube video search: Tajiri steals the show, for the best and funniest talk on giraffes! I had a blast playing hide and seek with Bisa the lioness cub chasing me back and forth. Thank you Jordan and staff for helping preserve and conserve the animals you have and the future! We will be back!

Phenomenal park! Animal exibits are clean and authentic looking. Able to feed may of them. OF COURSE, FEEDING THE GIRAFFES WAS THE BEST! Will be going back!
