Why Not An American Ark

Alice Howe

Our visit to Why Not An American Ark was idyllic. My son and his girlfriend drove down from NJ for a long weekend. They stayed at the AirBandB on the property. It was so lovely. My husband and I live nearby but had never been there before. All of us together...I have not known such happiness and fulfillment in a very long time.

Two by Two Petting Zoo was a great day trip for me and my two autistic boys, ages 22 & 5! We luckily picked the perfect day to go as far as the weather was concerned, warm yet breezy with no humidity! The animals are all healthy and well cared for, and the grounds were kept very clean and inviting. We saw the owners zooming around in their carts several times and they were friendly and informative when we looked a little lost at the beginning of our walk. My lil one adored all of the brown dogs freely roaming the ranch and played with them many times along the way. He also got to ride a pony for about 2 minutes, which was enough for him for a first time ride. I do believe that the young girl that led the pony was attentive and heard my son voicing his want to get off, due to feeling unbalanced, or the ride would’ve been longer. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch in the shade, on new picnic tables right by the parking area, which was very convenient. We will definitely visit again!

Not only was it a great petting zoo but the people who work there were so kind☀. They made the petting zoo even better, they were very informative and attentive. The pets were so cute and you can go inside and pet quite a few of them. Learned about the place from Groupon, great deal!🌸 Thank you:)

Absolutely incredible! I had an amazing time here today. There’s a huge range of animals, including bunnies, goats, cows, camels, zebras, alpacas, chickens, guinea pigs, a bobcat, foxes, pigs, ponies, mules, and a kangaroo. There’s more that I’m forgetting! Not all the animals can be pet, but they’re beautiful to look at. The ones that can be pet were very sweet and gentle. The highlight of my trip was holding bunnies. One employee in particular, Katie, made our trip outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals, helped us find our way around, picked up animals for us to hold, took pictures of us when we asked, and, above all, she was exceptionally kind and personable. I also did the 15 minute horse ride. It was $15 and well worth it. The employee leading the horse was very sweet and skilled in handling the horse. Though just a short ride, the views were beautiful. The price for animal feed was about $5 when we visited and admission was $10 per person plus a $1 surcharge for using card. There’s a tip jar, so make sure to bring extra cash! A beautiful property with gentle animals and kind workers. I can’t wait to visit again.
