What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
We had a wonderful time with Waverley’s daycare field trip! Her favourite animal was the dog and alpacas (aka in her mind llamas).

Every year, I come to see Ruth to borrow bunnies for my Easter sessions. The bunnies are always great, and the kids love them. ❤️

Came a fair way to this amazing place with my daughter today, and we had a wonderful experience! Lots of different animals to see and touch, and a few really great play structures for kids to play on. All of the animals were super gentle, well fed and happy. We loved buying food for them and hand feeding! We even got to see lambs that were born just this morning, and got to touch them as well. We spent over 3 hours there and easily could have stayed longer. Ruth and her husband are extremely hard working, kind people who are proud of their farm and animals. You can easily see the care that goes into this place. Ruth took the time to talk to us about the animals and farm, and was super friendly. I am going to come back again this week with both of my kids - we can’t wait to return! Highly recommend this place for kids and adults of all ages. Such a great day!! Thank you Ruth for sharing your amazing farm.
