What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
Such a great place. I got my beautiful holland lop from them. Definitely recommend everyone to visit this place. My kids love it.

Our family’s new favourite farm! This farm is indeed a hidden gem. We loved the “goat snuggling” so much. It’s such a heartwarming experience. All their farm animals look so healthy… not to mention very friendly around people. We will definitely be coming back. Bonus: The place is not crowded at all, given that we came on a weekend.

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.
