Unfortunately, there was no silver fox or hedgehog (included in the exotic animal package); I don't know why. You pay for a package (2 hour deals are better), and their mileage rates. Overall, it was an ok petting zoo. Unfortunately, the llama was super agitated (probably because it had 2 feet of rope), and when the keeper tried to take out the spider monkey she didn't seem too gentle with it before giving up... I think they could have made the animals feel a little more comfortable by providing shade and more water; not mention the animals were on super hot concrete; maybe a few padding of newspapers would do the trick.

The owner/operator of this petting zoo is very unprofessional. I called her several weeks in…read moreadvance to book my grandson's first birthday party. She booked it and she supposedly wrote it in her appointment book. The day of the party I called to make sure she was on schedule and to also see if she needed any directions only to be told that she was sick with "Covid" and her quarantine period was not up. Ok. I understand that people get sick but IF you had Covid then you had at least 10 days to contact me and let me know so that I could have made other arrangements. I work from an appointment book every single day and you better believe that if I get sick the first thing that I do is to contact everyone and explain myself. My grandsons FIRST birthday was very important to us and this was an embarrassment when the other kids arrived expecting to see and pet the farm animals. I would not ever recommend anyone so unprofessional!!! Two thumbs down!!!!

This is a cute place for the kids to interact with animals.

There's a tree swing, and a steep metal slide between two trees, and a few riding toys. I was disappointed that the advertised bounce house was laying in a heap on the ground. The entry fee is $12, but you'll be asked if you want a pail of animal feed ($2) and if you want to ride the pony or horse ($7 for about three minutes), so the visit can get a little pricey depending on what you want to do. It was a nice experience for the kids, but once was enough!

LOL I emailed the business and Marek responded right away. It was a weekday so I needed an appointment. He was more than accommodating and made time for us the same day. When we got there, we walked into the field and he gave us treats for the animals- carrots, grapes, etc. He introduced us to the animals and told us about them and how to behave around them. (very important for a 3 yo and 5 yo)! We saw donkeys, llamas, alpaca, lemurs, emus, horses, Lloyd the camel, 2 peacocks, pheasants, chickens and bunnies! Marek has a great history and stories about the horses too! His animals are well loved. You should definitely plan a visit! Wear boots- you are walking through the fields where the animals do their business :)
