What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
Had a wonderful time visiting for the first time, it was beautiful weather and all the animals were so happy, healthy and friendly. We got to talk to Farmer Ruth about some of her new baby lambs and goats and she was incredibly lovely.

We are incredibly grateful to Farmer Ruth for generously providing us with duck eggs to hatch ducklings. This wonderful experience has been educational and joyful for our family. We had 7 beautiful ducklings, each with their own unique character to enjoy, care for, and play with for 10 days before ducklings returned to their big farm family. The process of watching the ducklings hatch and grow has been a unique and memorable learning opportunity that we will cherish for a long time. Thank you, Farmer Ruth, for bringing such a delightful experience into our lives. Ruth's genuine dedication and hard work shows everywhere as soon as you step into the farm.

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. 🙂
