We had such a great time with our daughter and granddaughter. We had so much fun feeding the animals.

Nice experience getting to feed all the "hoved" animals. Friendly staff & reasonable prices.

Took my 4 year old here. She had a blast, loved letting all the goats eat out of her hand. We also did the drive-thru safari and saw a decent variety of animals. These animals are not shy! They’ll stick their heads right in your vehicle!

Can I bring my dog?

Jim Humphries | Jun 16, 2022
Scott Goodhart | Jun 16, 2022

I do not know for sure, but with the open nature of a lot of the facility, I doubt it. You can feed the hoofed animals, (horses, mules, donkeys, zebras, camels, etc) and there are only simple fences keeping them from you.

How much for encounter . How do you set it up

Grace River | May 17, 2022
Susan Moss | May 17, 2022

A large animal encounter which involves feeding the tigers and bears is $250/ person. The Sloth encounter is $75/ person. Just call the number listed on the website or email the address given on the website to schedule.

Do they have rentable electric strollers for old people?

No we do not.

How much does it cost to go? Can we bring our 1 year old son? We are looking for a humane alternative to a zoo where he can see animals but they are actually loved and are rescues.

We went last week. Really enjoyed it. All the animals are truly loved. We got to watch the monkeys being fed. The employee was so sweet talking to them. They knew exactly who she was. Well worth a trip.

Is it a good place to bring someone who’s in a wheelchair?

Eucario Sanchez | Oct 14, 2021
Rebah Kitty | Oct 14, 2021

That might depend on their proficiency with the wheelchair. The path is wide enough however it isn't paved or anything. It's packed dirt. And the circuitous route goes uphill a lot in the beginning then downhill a touch at the end. Hope that helps.

Do you still have wolves?

Gretchen Kincer | Oct 14, 2021
Brianna Zurek | Oct 14, 2021

I was there a few days ago, they have them but the more dangerous animals are tucked away towards the back. Its a sanctuary and not a zoo, so more about the animals.
