Not a place I enjoyed much. Would recommend driving past this and going to Rainbow Springs which is 15 min away and you can spend the day on beautiful grounds and pay only $2 per person. First the pros There’s a good variety of farm animals that you can see and touch. Now the cons - the exotic animals are confined in small spaces and don’t look so happy. I’m no expert in zoo-keeping but I’ve been to enough to see animals having enough space, even on smaller local zoos. - the animals fight each other to get the food you throw to them. The horses are trained to beg. Maybe it’s normal or maybe they keep the animals hungry so they’ll eat from the visitors. I’m not sure. - Not a good value. If you bring the family, it’s an easy $50 and this is a quick stop you can do in 30-45 min. - I didn’t see any zookeepers around - The small “playground” is a small old swing set. I’d rather take my kids to a park or public playground. It looks dilapidated like the entire facility. - the cages with birds near the playground looks like a random collection of caged animals that don’t get much attention

This is a great place to take your children, and Friends! The animals are very animated especially the little goat's and the brown and white miniature pony! The kangaroo well not so much!! But above all you have to see the cow!!!! I'm not even going to try to tell you about it, even the picture doesn't do it justice!! You must see this thing it's awesome!!

If you have small kids that love animals this place is definitely worth the visit. Under 2 are free and adults are $12.. definitely recommend buying the feed and feeding the animals you can feed. Their animal rides are out of commission as a result of Covid but we still had a nice time. They offer basic drinks to buy in gift Shoppe and some ice cream variety. Hopefully they keep this place up so local children can enjoy seeing animals in such close proximity.

So nobody's going to talk about the condition of these animals? Some of them are literally plucking and biting themselves to death. My heart broke. THEY'RE MISERABLE. The poor kangaroo didn't even move. Not enough room in this post to even begin.

The thing I noticed most was the hooves in the mini horses and others that need much needed attention.

Is this a good place to go

Can you pet all of the animals

We are under the authority of USDA and Florida Fish and Wildlife.. So certain animals by their rules are not allowed to be handled by the public. But for the most part all the farm animals can be fed and touched.
