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 beautiful and peaceful place, the kids enjoyed feeding the animals and playing on the slides & swings… a trip worth taking if you’re looking for family time where the kids have an amazing outdoor experience…will do the trip again..
