What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo

Amazing hidden gem. Wonderful, welcoming staff, very reasonable fee and surprisingly wide variety of animals. Informative signs on the pens is a nice touch. All animals look healthy, loved and well-taken care of. Lots of space. Kids absolutely loved the place (the site offers quite nice and original play structures too!). Will definitely go back. Thanks again Ruth & team!

I've always enjoyed bringing the little ones here year after year - and it's nice to see the upgrades ! 10$ is a liiiiiittle pricey, especially for really little ones but I understand it's for a good cause, which we've continued to support - will be back !! Bring some carrots and apples with you and watch your fingers 😋
