What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo

Super cute animals, lots to see and places to play. With younger kids, you could easily spend a good chunk of the day if you bring a picnic. Farmer Ruth is happy to answer questions! Remember to bring CASH.

I’d give this a 100 star rating if possible. Always a lovely visit to the farm (we’ve been at least half a dozen times now) and Ruth is SO friendly. The animals are extremely well cared for (which is super important to me when visiting places like this) and the playground/picnic area are an added bonus. Love the extras you can purchase, like baby goat cuddling, bunny cuddling, bottle feeding calves. Allows me be around animals I love, without the major responsibility of owning them personally! You’ve got a customer for life Ruth! ❤️ Nadia & Shola

Had a great time here this afternoon with my niece and family 🩷 🐐 🐓 Lovely farm, friendly people, the animals look happy. Not a lot of shade for a blitzing hit day ☀️ but I’m not even deducting a star for that as we all had a great time! The pig 🐷 chilling out in the mud was such a cute sight. Would highly recommend 😁
