What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
The animals were all super friendly and seemed quite happy. We did the "goat snuggling" and the little ones practically jumped up in into our laps.

We love coming and visiting with all the farm animals. Fantastic place for the whole family.

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
