What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo

Had an awesome time at the farm today! It was so great petting all the animals and especially hearing all the Guinea pigs squeak! It was great chatting with Ruth too and learning about all the animals. Thanks so much for a great experience!

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!!
