What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
I love Vanderlaand! Ruth and her crew take great care of the animals. The animals display happy behavior and the visitors, especially the kids, love the adventures. I have a hobby farm and fully agree with the replies that Ruth has left for the two negative reviews.

Great place for kids , loads of animals and the owners are super friendly. Its expensive to keep animals, but the admission here is a bit pricey. $10 a head, with no price break, or grouping discount for families. Otherwise its a great place to educate kids old and young alike. 🙂

Had a great time here this afternoon with my niece and family 🩷 🐐 🐓 Lovely farm, friendly people, the animals look happy. Not a lot of shade for a blitzing hit day ☀️ but I’m not even deducting a star for that as we all had a great time! The pig 🐷 chilling out in the mud was such a cute sight. Would highly recommend 😁
