Lynn is both an amazing zookeeper and a gracious hostess. We brought six adults and four kids aged 2-9 and we all had a terrific time. The animals are VERY well behaved and friendly, and the kids got to pet and play with almost all of them, from chickens all the way to alpacas. Even the donkeys and horses were sweet. Lynn was happy to answer all questions from the kids and give us tons of her time.

An absolutely wonderful place to learn about and interact with the animals. The owner is clearly an animal lover and treats these animal very well!

A great way to spend some time and appreciate local business. I look forward to coming back when my daughter is older so she can interact with the animals. Thanks to all the staff for a fun time

We have been visiting for years. Love the up-close experience with the animals and how gentle they are with guests. The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable about all of her animals. Great experience.

We were here earlier today, Saturday. The size doesn't bother us, we usually come here 1-2 times a year so we know that it is super small, definitely more of a "petting zoo" than a zoo. We always loved the animals. We had a bad experience here though today. One of the staff was pretty rude to my special needs three year old, and we won't be back. He fed the wrong animal a carrot by accident and she felt the need to come over and scald us. Yes, people should make an effort to follow the rules but I'm surprised that they seem to think it's okay to yell at other people's children for an accident, not an intentional thing. He was being very gentle with the animals, and not climbing on anything-he simply just fed the wrong animal one carrot.

Very bad experience. I understand people looking out for the animals and stuff but you can't have people working at a family attraction that don't like kids. You made a three year old lose his smile today. They ruined our day and I think a refund or something of the sort is in order-we won't be back either way but still. I had always previously recommended this place to my friends with children who took their kids here and am telling them never to support this place.

Smaller farm, but very interactive. They have kangaroos and zebras that you cannot pet, but petting all the others was a lot of fun. The staff is very friendly and informative. The animals are friendly as well. They love the pets and snacks. We loved the tortoise. He comes to the fence looking for his lettuce leaf.

While the animals are cute and seem to be very well taken care of, the place is tiny and overpriced. To charge $13 per person for such a short experience is quite outrageous.

A good place to bring the kids for visit. The exhibits are limited, but it's a local business and deserves a look.

Friendly animals and very well kept. It’s one thing to see animals but these seem to enjoy interacting with humans.

What a great place to visit. The animals are amazing, enclosures are clean, and are very well cared for. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they all really care for the animals. My favorite animal there has to be Bob, the Turkey! He’s a perfect greeter. Will be back!

Great place to visit and interact with the animals. Very clean. Loved meeting all the animals and being greeted by “Bob The Turkey”

It’s a nice place and my daughter likes it. But perhaps they shouldn’t have a turkey wandering around who bites unprovoked. I’m glad it was me who was bitten and not my 4 year old, but honestly I’m annoyed and in some pain and we probably won’t be going back.

I highly recommend going here. The animals are very well taken care of. Their enclosures are immaculate. The animals adore the owner and are very friendly with visitors too. Lynn (the owner) is so knowledgeable about all the animals there. We learned a lot. They aren't just animals to her, they're like her kids and are treated that way. I can't recommend this place enough. We did the private tour.

This place is absolutely fantastic! Very clean and very friendly, caring staff! The animals all are in exceptional health and the programs offered to visitors are wonderful.
Be sure to check their Facebook page for hours of operation and special events… But I find they keep things very up to date there and are great about responding to questions and comments!

Amazing place! They take such good care of the animals. They are like family to the owner and people who work there! We had my daughters birthday party there. She had a blast
