Great place for the family! It was large enough to have a good variety of animals to see. But not so large that everyone is too exhausted by the end of the visit. My daughter was very excited about the pony rides. We'll have to come back when camel rides are available again. Feeding the parakeets was also a highlight for both of my kids.

I've been taking my grandkids here every summer for the last 4 years and they absolutely love it. Great hands on with the animals. Highly recommend!

Way exceeded my expectations. Great for young kids. The playground was awesome. The kids didn't want to leave. Everyone was helpful and friendly. For sure get the large cup of food to feed the animals.

We had so much fun here, what a blast! It was so exciting to see all of the animals and feed them, many were hungry!! They race their cute little selves to the fence to get food which was adorable. We also enjoyed the fish in the tanks located in the gift shop. Very reasonable and educational fun all the way around, we'll definitely come back.

Is it handicap friendly? I have a slow walk and may need to stop and rest for a few minutes

Almost the entire park is gravel. There are some paved sidewalks but not many. However, there are awnings/shade and benches. Some of the animals are inside barns. We went with a fairly large group of kindergartners and we did have a wheelchair with us and we managed.
