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.

All of us enjoyed going here, we fed the animals and give them some love. And also the children played in the play ground, and run behind the chickens and took some picts. I wish I brought some snacks or maybe sandwiches to eat at the end. It's a fun a beautiful place to visit. MR

A literal paradise run by the kindest and friendliest farmer. I have visited the farm multiple times and just can’t wait to come back! Today we did the “Help Farmer Ruth with the Chores,” and the chores were basically just playing with all the new babies on the farm! Farmer Ruth shines with love for her animals which translates to the beautiful and well kept farm. Rest assured when you visit the farm you are supporting a local farmer that cares for her animals and her visitors. Worth every penny and every kilometre driven. Highly recommend everyone to visit to experience heaven on earth ❤️
