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.

We had a wonderful time with Waverley’s daycare field trip! Her favourite animal was the dog and alpacas (aka in her mind llamas).
Emily McLaughlinMay 14, 2024
Loved it! They have such gentle animals to visit with, pet and feed. The kids ages 2 & 5 had 3 hours of fun-filled visits and activities. Nobody wanted to leave.
