What Others Have Loved About The Barnyard Zoo
We got a “Help Farmer Ruth” session and it was incredible. She took her time with us and made sure we got to see and do everything even if it meant going over the hour a little bit. The releasing of the goats at the beginning was probably my favorite. She was full of knowledge and answered all of our questions. I never thought I would get to bottle feed a baby cow, bond with baby goats, or hold a baby peacock!! We will be back!!

I’d give this a 100 star rating if possible. Always a lovely visit to the farm (we’ve been at least half a dozen times now) and Ruth is SO friendly. The animals are extremely well cared for (which is super important to me when visiting places like this) and the playground/picnic area are an added bonus. Love the extras you can purchase, like baby goat cuddling, bunny cuddling, bottle feeding calves. Allows me be around animals I love, without the major responsibility of owning them personally! You’ve got a customer for life Ruth! ❤️ Nadia & Shola

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!
