Bear Den Zoo & Petting Farm

There were many animals who were camouflaged well and it was a very nice place to spend about 2 hours. The main highlight was being able to pet the baby bunnies and kittens. They were adorable and the kids loved sitting there holding the baby animals and petting them. In the end, got a hayride through the woods.

It was a place my wife and I had wanted to check out for a few years now. I'm happy we finally did. We have been to much better places for the same type of animal experiences but nothing this close to home. My wife got to hold a baby kangaroo and a lemur. They also had an eight week old bobcat which we were able to pet. The rest was just a quick walkthrough with raccoons, badger, fox, coyote, bear, porcupines goats, horses, and a bunch of fowl. The price for admission was $12.00 each and parking was free. For us it was worth the price but we will not return. If you live within an hour I would say it's worth checking out if you enjoy animals.

Great zoo/farm. Plenty of parking. Hayrides, a lemur enclosure to get you up close and personal with a baby lemur. This is our fourth trip here. We love the rabbit, kitten, chic enclosures they have at the entrance. It allows you to pick them up and give them some love. Seating is available (most of it for kids). Lots of neat animals, many you can feed, even a gift shop. Not hard to get to, easy to see off the road. Plenty of parking and wash stations. Play areas inside for the little ones to burn off some energy before going home too. Freindly staff. Minus one star due to it being CASH ONLY.

Been here three times and it's always a great time! We drive 2.5 hours to get here and mix it in with several other items on our agenda for a good day trip. The first thing you get to do when you get there is to play with baby kittens, rabbits and chicks, and you haven't even paid at that point! The prices here are very reasonable. It's only been $10 for adults for three years now. The hours have always been a bit strange. They don't open until 11 on the weekends, which has always thrown a a kink into our day trip plans. There is always an opportunity to play with ring-tailed lemurs, which is one of the reasons we always come back. There are quite a few animals for such a small zoo and there are always new ones each year, although I'm not sure where the old ones end up. You can buy bags of food to feed several different kinds of animals (goats, lemurs, wolves, horses, cows, llamas, alpacas, more goats). There is also a picnic spot to eat your lunch. Kids seem to have a great time here and I'd highly recommend going.
