What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo

Amazing hidden gem. Wonderful, welcoming staff, very reasonable fee and surprisingly wide variety of animals. Informative signs on the pens is a nice touch. All animals look healthy, loved and well-taken care of. Lots of space. Kids absolutely loved the place (the site offers quite nice and original play structures too!). Will definitely go back. Thanks again Ruth & team!

Today was me and my fiancé’s first time visiting the farm, and we absolutely loved it! You can tell that the animals are well cared for, and the staff are so friendly! We spent 3 hours here, and we didn’t even realize because we were having such a great time. Not only that, but I got the opportunity to help feed a baby goat its bottle. The experience you will find here, is unlike any other. This farm was worth every penny. Go support this small business- you will not regret it! Can’t wait to visit again.

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!
