What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
We got a “Help Farmer Ruth” session and it was incredible. She took her time with us and made sure we got to see and do everything even if it meant going over the hour a little bit. The releasing of the goats at the beginning was probably my favorite. She was full of knowledge and answered all of our questions. I never thought I would get to bottle feed a baby cow, bond with baby goats, or hold a baby peacock!! We will be back!!

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.

Vanderlaand is such a great place for an afternoon trip. You can tell they really take care of their animals and land. 2nd time going and could not be more impressed.
