What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
I love Vanderlaand! Ruth and her crew take great care of the animals. The animals display happy behavior and the visitors, especially the kids, love the adventures. I have a hobby farm and fully agree with the replies that Ruth has left for the two negative reviews.

We've been a couple times and it's a lovely barnyard petting zoo. The animals are well cared for and the playground is great.

Amazing experience and my girls LOVE visiting! So many animals and a great place to be interactive and learn. My toddlers regularly ask to go back and we drive over an hour to get there, totally worth it.
