What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
Fantastic place. Would definitely recommend doing the "Help Farmer Ruth" thing. Lots of fun for the family, and really informative too. Would recommend planning to stay the entire day, as we had to drag the kids into the car because they just didn't want to leave. Farmer Ruth is so friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals are so well taken care of. Would highly recommend.

A literal paradise run by the kindest and friendliest farmer. I have visited the farm multiple times and just can’t wait to come back! Today we did the “Help Farmer Ruth with the Chores,” and the chores were basically just playing with all the new babies on the farm! Farmer Ruth shines with love for her animals which translates to the beautiful and well kept farm. Rest assured when you visit the farm you are supporting a local farmer that cares for her animals and her visitors. Worth every penny and every kilometre driven. Highly recommend everyone to visit to experience heaven on earth ❤️
