What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo

Our family’s new favourite farm! This farm is indeed a hidden gem. We loved the “goat snuggling” so much. It’s such a heartwarming experience. All their farm animals look so healthy… not to mention very friendly around people. We will definitely be coming back. Bonus: The place is not crowded at all, given that we came on a weekend.

Had a great time here this afternoon with my niece and family 🩷 🐐 🐓 Lovely farm, friendly people, the animals look happy. Not a lot of shade for a blitzing hit day ☀️ but I’m not even deducting a star for that as we all had a great time! The pig 🐷 chilling out in the mud was such a cute sight. Would highly recommend 😁

Loved it! They have such gentle animals to visit with, pet and feed. The kids ages 2 & 5 had 3 hours of fun-filled visits and activities. Nobody wanted to leave.
