What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
Great place. Small, but that's often good when you have a young one. It took us about an hour and a half to visit all the animals and have a play in the playground. It is cash only and there is no people food there if you intend on eating lunch while visiting. There is food available to feed the animals though.

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!!

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.
