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've been a couple times and it's a lovely barnyard petting zoo. The animals are well cared for and the playground is great.
