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.

We came out to celebrate some birthdays and check out all the animals. Our tour guide, Tom, was so knowledgeable and nice. He made a lot of good jokes too which I appreciated. The animals were all excited to see us since we were in the first tour of the day. My son loved seeing all the big bison come right up to the side of the bus and eat the food from his cup. The tour ended and we got some lunch at the counter service spot in the lodge. The burger was delicious and the fries tasted great too. I had a bite of the Buffalo chicken panini as well and it was so good. The best part about the food was that for two adult meals and a kids meal with drinks only came out to $30. For how the world is right now, that is so awesome to see. It made the day feel very affordable and family friendly. We also checked out the petting zoo which was filled with goats, donkeys, and even a couple kangaroos! What a great day out at the farm. We will definitely be back again.
