We made some memories here for sure! Horse back riding with Jesse was awesome! It’s a peaceful trail getting to see the mountains and fall experience! Check it out you do have to call ahead to ride the horses but it’s worth it! The different kind of animals you see is cool too!

Hands down the best family attraction the smokies has to offer. I have visited the deer farm probably a dozen times in the last few years and it is such a hidden gem. Do not pass up the opportunity to stop by here on your trip to the smoky mountains.

My sister and I did the horseback riding and the petting zoo. Jesse was our trail guide, and he did an excellent job! He was fun and knowledgeable. The petting zoo was great too!

I believe it is I remember there were ramps going into the place and there was a reserved spot near the entrance. You really should call and verify though. As far as the rest of the petting zoo goes there's no steps it's on a slight incline in places.

I think you may want to contact the business directly vs. posting this question here to the public.

Do you have too make a appointment, or do they accept walk ups

Ben Pollard | Oct 17, 2019
Dan Johnson | Oct 17, 2019

Yes, the answer from James Brown is the most complete and accurate. You don't need an appointment for the petting zoo at all, but you will want to make one for the trail ride for horse riding if you are going to do that too. The petting zoo is self guided and you go at your own pace but the trail ride is an extra price and activity and is guided so you may very well end up waiting a long time and/or not being able to go without make a reservation first.

Is this just a zoo or are these rescue animals?

S | Oct 17, 2019
Country Boy | Oct 17, 2019

A lot of them are rescue animals but they have lots of animals. They got a goat lot that you can go into and pet the goats. They have a reindeer lot that you can also go in and hand feed the reindeer's. Watch the camel and dont turn your back on him because if you are in his reach he will try and bite. They have a couple kangaroo. They have elk, they let me jump into the lot with them and take a pic. They have more animals there. Kids like it because you can hand feed all of there animals there. They also have horse back riding there also. Really nice through the warm weather. If you buy some food to feed the animals they put the food in souvenir cups that you keep. Some are glow in the dark. Really good. If this was helpful, could you PLEASE like? Thank you. Yes some are rescue but most of them are not.

I'm very curious to where the more exotic animals who live there come from??

Ashley Taylor | Oct 17, 2018
Chris N | Oct 17, 2018

I think they told us while we were buying tickets a few were from farms that wanted to be rid of them and a few were from zoos. One of them is a giant draft horse that is "retired" now. It was fun overall for young kids. My wife enjoyed going in the pen with the Asian Deer.

Brittney Comeaux | Oct 17, 2018
Jannell Simms | Oct 17, 2018

It's a petting zoo which is not the same as a regular zoo, true. However, you don't get to feed and pet the animals at a zoo in the same way you do here. The variety off animals here is great.
