What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
Vanderlaand is such a great place for an afternoon trip. You can tell they really take care of their animals and land. 2nd time going and could not be more impressed.

It was such an amazing experience for the whole family. Ruth is very kind and informative. Animals are very healthy and well taken care of. Grounds are very well maintained massive play structures for the kids. Amazing variety. Cool baby goats. Affordable tickets. Lots of free parking. Buying some animal feed is definitely worth it. It's the best way to pet the animals. I would highly recommend this petting zoo to anyone in the area

Had an awesome time at the farm today! It was so great petting all the animals and especially hearing all the Guinea pigs squeak! It was great chatting with Ruth too and learning about all the animals. Thanks so much for a great experience!
