What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
We loved this farm experience. You are able to hand feed all of the animals as you go at your own pace through the farm. All animals are so friendly and calm! At the end of the path there is a giant play area for kids including play structures and many toys! We will be going back for another visit soon for sure 🙂
