Hate to write a bad review...but when you see something you say something. Dilapidated and depressing. We went there for the sloth-Queenie's enclosure was very small. She's missing hair on her back. One of the camels looks very sick and unhealthy. We thought he looked like he was going to fall over! The white deer/fallow deer had a bad eye infection. The enclosures were small and looked as if they did not have large water sources. It was very hot today-85 degrees. We fed kangaroos and other animals bread, oats, and plain ice cream cones which cannot be healthy. The people were nice and friendly and seemed to like their jobs. I think it needs some serious upkeep and attention. I was embarassed because I brought my family who had never been there and it was a huge let down. And expensive! Who holds this place accountable?

Wonderful place to see and interact with animals. There are treat buckets to feed the animals. The children had camel and pony rides. Will definitely go back next year.

My husband took me here for a surprise trip and man what a wonderful memory! The staff was beyond words for their kindness! It was raining and while we waited for the rain to pass we played Uno with the staff! They had so many animals and some that I’ve never seen-yak, foxes, cows (yes I know cows are not exotic but I’ve never seen one in person). And they had some that are familiar and I welcomed with open arms! I love that you can feed, pet and learn about these beautiful animals! My husband especially loved the kangaroos that were there! I will for sure be back! They’re bringing lemurs!! And get the “Best Day Ever” bucket! It will be more magical then you ever thought! At the end of our trip, the gals that we played Uno with gave us the deck! I’ll forever be thankful for their kindness and hold that memory dear to me! Thank you for such a great memory!!

Fantastic experience! Large enough to have a good time, but not so much that it takes all day. Season pass pays for itself in 2 visits!

We should be ready to open corn maze, camel rides, pony rides, gemstone mining and a drive thru in a couple weeks. Keep checking the website for opening updates.

We are planning a trip out with our family tomorrow..kids and grandkids. We are thinking about 3, but want to make sure we have time for all activities.

Do you give discounts to non profit youth centers and or daycares?

Heather Sullivan | Jul 27, 2018
Patrick Seymour | Jul 28, 2018

The FAQ page says there is "a dollar off each group members admission fee, and we also give you a discount in that your group gets the food to feed the animals for free. ... Groups are defined as part of an official organization, like pre-school, boy scouts, etc, of 15 or more people, and must have had pre-scheduled their tour prior to the visit- includes $50 deposit."
