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.

Amazing hidden gem. Wonderful, welcoming staff, very reasonable fee and surprisingly wide variety of animals. Informative signs on the pens is a nice touch. All animals look healthy, loved and well-taken care of. Lots of space. Kids absolutely loved the place (the site offers quite nice and original play structures too!). Will definitely go back. Thanks again Ruth & team!

Brought my 3 grandkids today. They really enjoyed themselves! Animals are well cared for, and the owner is very friendly. Lovely park, and very family friendly.
