We rented a cabin here for the weekend with the kids and had an amazing time. The staff were all very attentive and welcoming. The guided tour was informative, and we appreciated the guide frequently going off trail to make sure we had the most interactions with the various animals. The cabins were nice and we enjoyed the two pools and the private petting zoo for cabin guests. Waking up and seeing everything from zebra to bison roaming from your front porch is an incredible experience. This was our first time there but definitely won't be the last!

My first time coming here with the kids! Great place to come and enjoy a picnic. I would recommend wearing tennis shoes, bring a bottle of water or snacks for the little ones. We did the guided tour which was awesome and full of information. We got to see baby goats, fawns and much more. Will be coming back and staying at the cabins this time!

Great place to go and the guided tours are really fun! If you have children I recommend taking them here because the guided tours gives them an opportunity to see, touch, and feed the animals. Also the tour guide, Gabby, was really sweet, funny, and energetic. I would definitely come here to have her as a guide again because she was awesome!

Loved this place. Would rate it a 10 star if I could. They had so many cool animals. Would 1000% recommend the guided tour. It cost the same, and you can get way closer to the animals. I liked the petting zoo aspect as well. You were able to get up close to many different types of animals. This is my pick for a family safari trip. They also have cabins inside of the property, which you can rent out. With the cabins you get 2 pools and a playground, along with there own premium petting zoo, and safari rides included. 100/10. Would greatly recommend.

All ages. There is a tour of the ranch where you're in a semi protected trailer being pulled by a tractor it is actually safer four younger children since they're contained then the petting zoo. The tour is not to be missed and buying food to feed the animals is a must.

How long are the tours?

Sarah Gosdin | Jun 25, 2019
Victoria Vieira | Jun 26, 2019

They're about an hour, and the drivers really go above and beyond to attract the animals like Omar the Kissing Camel and tell you a bunch about them. I'll add this, since I always forget to bring cash: tipping is an option and the one time I had cash, I was more than happy to tip. The two times I didn't, I felt terrible because I thought the drivers had done such great jobs
