What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
Amazing experience and my girls LOVE visiting! So many animals and a great place to be interactive and learn. My toddlers regularly ask to go back and we drive over an hour to get there, totally worth it.

Loved this petting zoo! The large goats and the donkeys were obsessed with our twin girls when we went last month! I’ve been to several petting zoos, but this one is my favourite. If you have any questions or even concerns, the owners and employees are very knowledgeable. We were told to come back next year with our girls and that we could have a picnic on the property, the baby chicks will come and join us. I am excited to do that and to laugh with our girls. FOR THE AWFUL REVIEWS ON HERE….clearly you have never been to a farm. Farms are dirty, and muddy…..some animals play in their water basins…they are living their best lives! All the animals have shelters and are well loved from what I saw as a visitor! We will definitely be going back for years to come!! THANK YOU!!

We loved this farm experience. You are able to hand feed all of the animals as you go at your own pace through the farm. All animals are so friendly and calm! At the end of the path there is a giant play area for kids including play structures and many toys! We will be going back for another visit soon for sure 🙂
