Wow! What a great price for the experience. Very impressed. Took my 5 year old here today for her birthday (plus my two year old) and it was amazing. She would have stayed the whole day if I let her. They had baby capybaras, a baby kangaroo and much more! The staff was very knowledgeable about all of the animals and very understanding of the little kids. Definitely try this place out.

Omg I love this place. I have gone twice and it changed/evolved between the visits. The animal encounters are such a treat. The capybara can be so sweet and oh how soft the kangaroo are. The staff all seems to genuinely care about the well being of the animals.

My fiancee loves animals and we went here for her birthday. Melissa was very nice and accommodating. She even talked and explained about all their animals, you can tell they are well loved and cared for. There are lots of animals, including some babies, and they were all very friendly. We spent around an hour here and loved every minute of it! Can't wait to come back!

Spent about an hour here. Reasonable price ($17 per person) and variety of food buckets to feed animals ($1,$5,$10). Wasn’t crowded since we went around 12 noon. Animals were enthusiastic and fun. Good precautions were taken by staff to keep animals and people safe. Limited parking near ticket booth. They take you in a 8 minute shuttle ride to the actual farm from the address. Overall a fun outing.

tyler krug | Aug 10, 2022
Jered Leeberg | Aug 11, 2022

No, another separate reservation has to be made with a lot more money.

I was wondering how much does it cost to go inside for a two-year-old into adults

Teri Guzman | Aug 10, 2022
Trista Snyder | Aug 11, 2022

It's not 2 and under is free...UNDER 2 years old is free, 2 years and up is $10/person. My son is 2 and it is regular price for him to get in, but it's worth the cost :) it is $5 for a cup of food for the animals, but I don't recommend feeding them unless you want to get trampled and knocked down by the goats!

I am not sure but I believe if you went in and talked to them they would talk with you about it.

What kind of animals will be there for opening in september?

Katrina Meyer | Aug 10, 2022
Dawn Miskar | Aug 11, 2022

I'm going to assume the Capyberras will be there since they're a big draw. Goats, of course, will be around. Other than that the animals get cycled through. They don't live there and they all get time off. Its hard to predict which animals will be there from one visit to the next. I guarantee the kids will be happy with whatever animals are there that day.

I was there on Sunday and the capybara was there, very cute. I didn't realize there were two locations, so I know for sure there is a capybara at the farm which is a 5 min drive from Debbie's indoor facilities, but it is all apart of the same business

You usually pay at the door but if you're going to book an animals experience you have to do that part online. Paying online is not an option I believe.
