We met these majestic llamas at a summer vendor event, and were pleasantly surprised to find the animals to be very tame, so eager to engage with us. Folks can celebrate their special events on the llama farm. When attending a wedding, llamas are outfitted with tuxedos! Definitely going to plan a day for field trip with our grandchildren this summer!

The setting is picturesque, with all of the animals really meshing well together and thriving, knowing this is their home but welcoming you along and inviting you in. The geese and such reminded me of cute little guards, protecting their furry friends (but not in an aggressive way ...). The cat was super friendly and wants to rub your leg and be pet but is always on the move. Its fur is super soft! The llamas were awesome and their owner, who took us on our hike, was very informative and willing to answer questions. He was very proud of his llamas and happy to show us pictures of them winning shows at the Erie county fair and such. They are really beautiful and sure clean up nice for their shows but they sure have some stinky breath! It's totally worth it though! The owner will let you pick the llama although I think all of the llamas we walk are male and the girls stay behind. It's kind of funny to see the boys and girls acknowledge eachother and get a little animated when they catch eachother eyes. Walking them on the hike is a real treat. I had the biggest llama, Snowman, and just like when I go horseback riding and get the biggest horse from experience, Snowman loved to eat the whole way and let the other llamas know he is the boss! But he wasn't mean or anything and he made these cute little noises that I interpreted as happy noises and I just loved my time with him so much! He wasn't mean a good boy and very sweet to me. His ears would turn down when other llamas got in his personal space or he got in theirs and wanted them to move lol. A little huff and he let them know he was in charge. He was like a gentle giant and totally majestic. I would totally take him for my hike again. Watching my llama eat was so cute too! I realized I had never seen one eat and Snowman just looked like a big shaggy dog grazing. Super cute! I appreciate him posing for photos with me too! And my friend Danielle's llama was nuzzling in her neck during the hike. So so sweet! We were allowed ample time to bond with our llamas before and after the hike. It never felt rushed and the experience felt very full and complete. Just thinking of the experience instantly makes me smile and I have so many photos and a video of my llama and it is instant joy. I cannot recommend this enough! You can also adopt a llama, have a field trip, hold a special event, etc. here. Absolutely wonderful and flawless experience.

When planning your drive to the Petting Zoo and using GPS, be aware that several bridges appear to…read morebe closed indefinitely in the area. The road that ended up being open has a building with the address of 1722 Schwaben Creek Rd, Rebuck, PA 17867, and there were some small signs also posted. Be aware, that this road is a narrow farm lane, so do not bring a vehicle with low clearance. Follow the road and signs until you get to the admission hut and pay to enter. Get the larger bucket of animal feed when you pay to enter, you'll need it for at least the wagon ride. Animals in the Petting Zoo portion included goats, sheep, a baby camel, and a miniature horse. You can feed the ostrich's and peacocks roam around. There are also camel dies for an additional fee. To me the wagon ride was the MVP of the experience and why you need the larger bucket of feed. They take you into the gated areas of the park and stop several times to allow for feeding of the deer, goats, pigs, and big cows. After the ride, it's a short walk to visit the camels and donkeys, which you can also feed. There is also a small picnic area, kids' playground equipment, portable toilets, and hand washing stations available. If you do need to ask any questions, call ahead as they do respond quickly, but don't actively monitor their Facebook messages. Overall, this is a solid outing for kids, families, and people who love animals.

As soon as we walked past the gift shop, I was greeted either by a unicorn or a gorgeous white Shire horse with a fake horn, I'm not sure which. Either way, I knew it was going to be a special day. We watched a few bird shows, one with hawks (natch) that we saw from far and one with owls that we watched up close. All the animals here are incredible. My particular favorite was the little armadillo that ran around his cage. The whole time it was impressed upon us how important conservation and rehabilitation is for these animals. The highlight was the crow that kept screaming "WOW!" He was so funny! The bummer was that we had to leave eventually... You must go here, especially if you love animals! It's extremely well kept and the volunteers clearly love what they do. I highly recommend coming here some weekend. It's worth the trip!

There were many other animals available for viewing, and an entire section dedicated to cats. We visited the Aerie with its Harry Potter theme and experienced an armadillo, cane toad, tortoise, and snake. We were able to participate in a live Raptor show, and learn about the Snowy Owl that was born at Hawk Creek. There was even a beautiful unicorn that we were able to pet. This is an incredible place worth visiting. I learned so much, and will definitely be coming back.

It was a dreary day and ended up pouring!!! for the duration of the trolley ride. It did not dampen our spirits even though we got wet!! The boys loved it!! They fed all the animals that came up to the trolley and got to pet the Watusi cows! The guide was awesome and handled that bus like a champ thru the rain and mud! Of course it stopped raining when the ride was over. We then went in and had lunch and it was delicious!! . I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was!! The burgers were delicious and the boys loved the hot dogs and chicken tenders. The fresh cut fries were an also delicious! After lunch we went to the small animal adventure and fed all the animals in there. Our grandsons have goats so they were very comfortable with the little ones jumping on them. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I'm sure way more beautiful when not raining. lol We will definitely go back next year so the boys can see all the animals again and hope for good weather!

The scenery was gorgeous, the sun was out, I was ready for it. I never asked where we were going, I just went with it and enjoyed the ride. It looked magnificent from the minute we pulled in. The grounds looked Immaculate, with custom waterfalls around the building, and restaurant below. Lots of places for kids to run around before even going into the park. They have a cute petting zoo. With goats, ponies, OMG! They even have a Giraffe. Perfect for little kids to feed and get close and personal with them. Then I saw what looked like a Forrest. That is when BF revealed to me that, this is a self drive Animal Park. I felt the joy of being a little girl again. I have been wanting to do this for so long, and to find out there is one so close felt like an awesome joy punch! You can also take a bus in, looked like an old school bus with the windows and window frames cut out, so kids and families can hang out and feed the animals. They all looked like they were having an amazing time. Probably the way to go with kids 10 and under. We chose to self drive. Of course there is a waiver that we take full responsibility for any damage to the car. Signed it in a NY minute. I'm so glad we did. It was so much fun X 10. After we checked our car. No damage at all We bought 2 large tubs of food, because neither of us knew what to expect, and we wanted to be ready for anything. Highly recommend doing that, these animals are very smart, and tricky, in a fun way. All animals are free range, some group naturally together. But they can choose to roam anywhere. They all appeared very healthy, happy animals, clear eyes, no lethargy. They looked really well cared for. We fed Buffalos, Zebras, Ostriches, long horn steers, emu's, deer, and much more. Our first animal was a Buffalo with big horns. I rolled my window down, food in hand, outside the window, hand flat, like they tell you to do. That Buffalo didn't care about that little bit of food. He stuck his head right through my window, and into the bucket I was holding in my other hand. I was screaming out of joy, surprise, and a little nervous of the unexpected. Lol We had a moment, when we were wondering how to move forward before he ate my whole bucket. He started retreating from inside our window. I sighed relief that he was exiting, just a wee bit too early. Because on his way out, he suddenly grabbed my bucket with his teeth, and pulled it out of the car. I was astonished It was very exciting. We made a quick pivot and evened out our buckets, and I made note to hold on to that bucket tight, and try to keep it out of site. Haha! Good luck. The animals worked together. A Zebra would stand in the road and block cars from going by, while other animals came to eat, then the Zebra would move enough for us to get by and pay, what we dubbed the Zebra toll. Lol. When we fed an Ostrich, they started pecking at my car door, when I brought my bucket in. I did not even care, and I love my car. But being up close and personal with these animals felt like a spiritual refill. Some let me pet them, I got to look some in the eye, and feel connection. I was not surprised by their intelligence. It felt like an honor to meet them at this level. Although the long horn steers worried me a bit, but they ended up acting like babies. They could have easily flipped my car. But instead they chose to lick my hand. Now don't get me wrong, these animals seemed aggressive at first to me. But they understood the assignment. They were just being who they are. Respect that, and you will have a great time. I saw some cars trying to maneuver by delicately to keep their car from getting damaged. We didn't even try. It's a lot more fun to just not worry about, like I said earlier we had no outside damage to the car. Now the inside we had spilled food all over. Hahaha! And I was NOT mad about it. They also have a restaurant, we didn't go in, but it looked nice and clean. We didn't go inside. Being a couple with no kids. We decided to eat elsewhere. I highly recommend trying this place out. Perfect for kids, couples, lone travelers. It was a completely different experience I have ever had. It worth a drive, perfect for a day trip.
