Nika “incognito” Vant

This was one of the best family trips we have taken. The staff was friendly and so helpful. We met the owner and he was so down to earth and genuine he has a heart for animals and it shows in the care they take for these animals. The children were able to feed different animals. There favorite was the lemur and ram goats. It was a one of a kind hands on experience. We talked about how much fun we had the whole trip back. We will definitely be back for the Christmas festival✨

The bird enclosure was something I had never seen before. The birds would jump all over people and peck at their shoes. They would also land on people's shoulders and backs. It was a really unique experience and kids love it too. The rest if the park was also very fun. The staff was also very nice and helpful. Another nice part is there are many animals that you can touch and interact with. The entry price was very reasonable at 12 dollars. For an extra 10 dollars you can also have food for the animals so that they can eat out of your hands. There was also plenty of parking and they also appear to be expanding.

Wow! What a gem of a place! We got the "experience" where we got to play with 3 animals. The experience was fantastic. Loved holding and playing with cute little animals. The staff there is amazing. They know SO MUCH. - even without the Experience, it's well worth the price of admission to get to pet and feed all the animals. Loved it.

This is a terrific family adventure! A total must do activity whether you are native or visiting! This is an incredible family owned and operated "petting zoo" where you can feed lemurs, monkeys, lamas, parakeets and even kangaroo! You may even have a chance to hold a tarantula, snake, alligator or baby Joey kangaroo! This is truly a special place for kids and adults alike! If I could give it more stars, I would!

Are dogs allowed to come in at bee city

Franklin Raynor | Jan 8, 2022
Bee City Zoo & Honey Bee Farm | Jan 8, 2022

Well we obviously love animals. And are happy to see people enjoy our animals as well as their own. We have a lot of rescue animals and animals that don’t understand that the dogs are not here to hurt them. There is a rule written for specific situations like ours. It describes it best. At a zoo service animals can be restricted from areas where animals on display are natural prey or natural predators of dogs, where the presence of a dog would be disruptive, causing the displayed animals to behave aggressively or become agitated. That extremely limits the areas in which we can allow dogs. Sorry for the inconvenience; But I hope that explains our situation. Thank you Bee City Zoo

Can we bring Out Own Pet Food?

P1umberry | Sep 5, 2020
Jessie France | Sep 5, 2020

Food for your own pet is allowed but no outside food for the animals in the park. I also found out that you can bring in your parakeets and release them into the aviary, if you're looking to relocate your keets. Nice place to spend an afternoon.
