If you're a first time visitor, I highly recommend going through both the "Safari" and the main…read morefarm. For the drive thru safari, they have a variety of animals, from Alpacas to bears to camels to giraffes. You can purchase a bucket of feed for $9, but make sure you hold on to the bucket tight, because all of the animals are super strong! We ended up losing one of our buckets to the deer, haha! In the main farm area, they have some really cool play structures and tunnels that go underground and above ground. The kids had a blast crawling all over the place. Our favorites were the bird exhibit and the bear exhibit. The birds are not afraid of humans and will flock to you as soon as you enter their area. Im the bear section, we got to see the two brown bear brothers wrestle and "fight" over who got to sit in the pool. The brown bears were very interactive and would run with the children along the fence, back and forth. The biggest hit for our kids was the corn kernel area. It's essentially a giant pit filled with dried corn kernels. Our kids played in there for a good hour and didn't want to leave! It's also a great place to relax and cool down out of the heat. They have a bunch of animals that you can pet and hold if interested. For us, the safari was a great one time experience and likely wouldn't be something that we would drive through again, but the main play area is where we will definitely be going back to time and time again!

The park is very clean and easy to get around if you have a stroller, wagon, or wheelchair. They offer hands on experience and focus on conservation. There are over 1300 animals from 180 species including rare and endangered ones. Visitors can hand feed certain animals. It's a great place to learn about so many animals. There's a gift shop as well as a concession area. You do a lot of walking but there are benches along the paths. You gotta go! The price is reasonable.

It also wasn't crowded at all, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable instead of rushed. One of the best parts was the animal feeding experiences throughout the park. Getting to feed a giraffe was something we'll never forget and Leroy the giraffe completely stole the show He was easily one of the coolest experiences we've ever had and definitely where some core family memories were made. The exhibits were thoughtfully done too. The animals seemed to have plenty of space while still allowing guests to get close enough to really enjoy and appreciate them. Every staff member we encountered was kind, helpful, and added to the positive experience. This place deserves way more attention. Such a fun, memorable day for our family!

Not a huge place, but they fit a lot in. I came during their Christmas setup. The main building has…read morea cafe, a candy making station, they have a santa set-up, and some general merchandise. Outside there were 2 food vendors plus a popcorn vendor. There was a gift store with lots of knick knacks, plus a sloth experience. Outside there is a play area. Then you get to the main attraction. There's a fenced in area with everything from baby reindeer to adult reindeer and a couple of llamas thrown in. They sell reindeer feed in small cups for a dollar. You hold it in your open hand and they'll eat it out of your hand and you can pet them at the same time. In another fenced area is the Highland cows, which you can't touch or feed. There was also a couple of Guinea fowl, an odd, but cool looking bird. There are also a couple of photo op areas. All of the animals were great to see and some are animals you don't see much of. I did do the Sloth experience ($33) for a 5 minute visit with up to 4 people. There are 2 sloths a male and a female. The keeper will tell you all about them and let you pet them, very cool. They were very neat to see up close and to be able to pet. In some ways they are cat-like. Their claws are impressive. Definitely worth the cost of admission. There is also a train you can ride for $10 a person. Also the general admission is $20 for adults. The service was very friendly and helpful. The person doing the sloth visit really seems to care for them and enjoy her job. Overall a 5 star review. Definitely worth a visit as a one and done. If you have small kids they might enjoy it yearly. Would I return? If someone else wanted to go then yes. Otherwise it's been there done that. Highly recommend for the 1 and done though. Didn't try any of the food, so no opinion on that.

Loved this spot! It's a classic Michigan blueberry farm but what sets it above some U-Pick spots to…read moreme is how easy and close everything is. Right when you park, you'll see a large area to buy goodies (pies, cookies, produce), you'll see animals to pet, and then blueberries to pick. We went in late July and the berries were abundant (and delicious). We definitely tried our way through some favorites and then picked entirely too many. We ended up eating most and adding tons to blueberry pancakes over our vacation weekend in South Haven. Can't remember the exact prices but cheaper than I've paid for berries all summer, I know that much. And we ALWAYS have blueberries in the house. Also loved the super sweet blueberry lemon sugar cookie that they had in their shop, and felt welcome by the friendly staff. Lastly, speaking to how close everything is both on the farm and off; this is quite close to downtown South Haven when driving, but still feels way out in the country. It's a perfect combo, IMO, and we'd come back again and again if we lived near here.

When we arrived today we were pretty bummed that bumbleberry changed how they run the farm. We used to be able to give everyone a bucket and then the blueberries would be weighed and we would take them home. Now, be prepared to pay 12 dollars a bucket(you get to keep it). It's not the same experience when you are walking to the fields and the entire family needs to share a single bucket. We also adored the low key barrel ride. I believe it was about 5 dollars a ticket in the past. Now, you must pay 12 dollars per child plus 5 dollars per adult to watch your child play and go on a barrel ride. The petting zoo, bumbleberry chair, tire castle, everything is gated off. We passed and noticed most families did the same. This would have cost our crew 45 dollars for one ride (two toddlers, 4 adults). What was once a quaint family farm now feels off. We will be picking somewhere else next year.
