White Post Farms of Melville

My review is about the pies and cookies. Not a fan of the $22 apple pie. First and last time buying. Mrs. Smith apple pie a lot better. And the cookies were hard like they were stale. I've never had a rasin oatmeal cookie that hard before. $9 in the garbage.

Amazing place to visit with children. Top notch Customer service with competative ticket price. This is very tidy even containing all those animals. I had great experience will try again in future.

Nice to go early, Friendly food & people. Good shows for the kids, Large variety of animals to see.

I ordered a peach pie, a bread and a bag of cookies for Thanksgiving through the school, the peach pie was really good because it wasn't over sweet and the peaches were so fresh. I called the place to check at 9: 00 in the morning and the guy answered do the have it, as soon as I got answered my parents went into the place, they don't have it, they had to drive there 25 min.they couldn't get it. I called them and complained. I ordered for next day, which is today, I got 2 of them and each one is $28. I was so disappointed because the taste was totally different than last one.it was sweeter and the peach was not the same as last time as fresh and the crust was different I guess different person made them or different ingredient. I won't buy again, I was gonna buy them all the time.

A great place for kids of all ages. Lots of animals to see and feed if you don't mind the slobber. Will bring a smile to your face. Great family time for all with a very nice market from which you can pick up a freshly made warm pie! Giraffes come out if temperature is warm enough, but opened 7 days a week.

Hand washing sink station available! The whole family will enjoy this place!

Most fun I had in a long time. The animals are unbelievable! You won't regret spending the afternoon with the kids or not. Don't forget to pick up one of the different varieties of Banana Bread it's to die for.

Upon entering the establishment me and my now fiance we're welcomed by the warm and friendly staff with open arms and smiles. All the animals activities and amenities were amazing. Loved being able to experience feeding animals by hand at such a well kept establishment. Me and my fiance can tell that the animals are cared for and very happy. Enclosures are kept very clean. I want to personally think Liam in the bird aviary for recording my proposal to my fiance. I couldn't be happier with my experience and want to think White Post Farm for me and my fiance's special day. November 7th 2021 an amazing day to remember at White Post Farms. Will definitely be coming back.

The first time here was fun, but I would never come again because of the prices and inhumane animal loving conditions

Pros: So much fun feeding a lot of animals to feed like Giraffe, aviary where the birds land on you and you feed them seeds on stick. Although it is free, I think I would rather pay to feed giraffe that is better taken care of. In Long Island Game Farm, the giraffe has room to walk and grass.

Cons or criticism: The two biggest issues for me are price and treatment of the animals. White Post if you see this fix these (see my post) and this will be perfect since this place is close to home. 1 issue: mainly the overcrowding and no room for the animals. Long Island game farm and animal farm petting zoo treat the animals better by giving them a lot of ROOM and real GRASS

The zebras do not have much room to walk. It is a little sad to see huge black stonish bars, not possible to touch, they have no grass to walk on. The stable looks empty. The lemurs and monkey have ropes to climb on but they are in a room, no nature decor being fed fruit loops. The other petting zoos I went to like AFPZ or LIGF they are outside, branches, and homes to live in.

It is Not Humane because there is like 30 goats in a small. In Animal Farm petting zoo there is like 10 goats in a large space. I say this because the older goats or sheep hog the food so it is difficult for the young animals to get food. I do hope that the employees regularly feed and make sure they have water. I was a little concerned for overcrowding, wish there was more space for the animals. Wish the animal pens were better cleaned. Some animals can be only looked at. It would be more comforting to get rid of the decoration houses or statues in favor for more pens so there is less overcrowding.

2nd price: I think the pricing could be a bit cheaper. It's 24 dollars per person no matter the age. Wish it was like 16 for adults or like 13 for kids. For two adults and child + animal food+ food can out to around $120. Too much. The food to feed is not included, avairy should be free.

Getting food buckets are better instead of putting 25 cents into a machine only for a small handful is not worth it because the money adds up.

Conclusion: Overall, I had a great time. The first time experience is worth it but there needs to be more space (my advice get rid of decoration houses and make room so less overcrowding, and make changes to the habitat/enclosure so that the animals shave more room to walk. I really want this place to be the best so much. They clearly have the money to do so and the space and I think it would not be too much of a hassle. Make the admission prices lower. They also need to make sure the animals are treated well with room to walk. If they fix these 2 things would 100 wholeheartedly endorse this place.

This place is huge mostly outdoors and Amazing! They have LEMURS!

A bit pricey, must have cash on hand and quarters for the food to feed the animals.
Expect to spend at least $25.00 per person including children. The farmers market section is nice. In my opinion it's $$$ but worth it if you spend many hours there.

Wife and I took our 3 kids to see the giraffe. One hundred and forty dollars. I stopped wife before paying. I reminded her our neighbor has an abnormally long neck and we can see him for free. We ended up going 5 minutes away to Schmitts family farm. Better prices.

Really amazing place with plenty of entertainment for the little ones. I even had a fun time feeding all the friendly animals! Definitely worth the entry fee. Staff are friendly and the playground and mini houses were a big hit with my kiddo.

Very friendly staff and plenty for a young one to see and do. Only complaint is that none of the staff were wearing masks. Other than that, an extremely cool place that I'm glad we found even existed!
