What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo

This place was amazing. Not sure why I see bad reviews here at all. The stalls all had shade for all animals. There was fresh water for all the animals. We took our son and brought a friend with her little girl and all of us had a blast feeding, petting the animals and the children also had a blast in the playground area. We spent 4 hours here easily and had a blast. Please go check out this little slice of heaven here. Your children will have a blast and the animals will warm your heart. They also sell some animals and fresh eggs. Great price and great time. Well worth the hour drive for us both and worth the price. This farm is a little gem in the Ottawa Valley. You were able to feed the animals as you went along seeing them at your own pace. The owner came and talked to us for a bit and was very friendly and lovely. This place is a must for families with little ones. You won't regret it,
