What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo

Brought my 3 grandkids today. They really enjoyed themselves! Animals are well cared for, and the owner is very friendly. Lovely park, and very family friendly.

We had a wonderful time with Waverley’s daycare field trip! Her favourite animal was the dog and alpacas (aka in her mind llamas).
