We visited Green Meadows on a Sunday morning. It was not crowded. Entry was $18 for ages 2 and…read moreover, a head of lettuce to feed the animals is $6 and pony rides were $5. We fed the animals, rode a pony, played in the corn pit and on the playground as well as took a tractor ride. We saw pigs, donkeys, alpacas, and our favorite the bunnies. We were able to do everything we wanted to do in under 2 hours. There are a few photo ops. All employees we encountered were pleasant. We all enjoyed it but I felt it was expensive.

A true connection between children and what's remains of Florida's farm animals. Green Meadows…read morePetting Farm has been an iconic institution for Florida's children over the years. Unfortunately, for most of us who know it was closed ,but it has now reopen at this new location. The new green meadow petting Farm is better than ever updated and supported by Osceola County. They are currently working every day to update it and to bring more attractions and more animals to continue the connection for the next generation.. our recent visit there indicates this very creed that brought us to them many decades ago. I will not elaborate the numerous emotions a parent may have watching their child touch a chicken or learn about a cow or other farm implements and machinery in a safe, clean, environment , but rather tell you go take your child and experience it for yourself. Admission is reasonable, especially for the various things that you could do there with your family any given day of the week. Parking is ample and spaces are wide, not only for your car, but for your children running in their meadows under a clear sky.. Thank you, Green Meadow Farms, especially to your staff for continuing to have the same great attitude ,even after all these years. We will continue to support you through the next generation..

My friend took me on the best birthday adventure at Bambi's Mini Petting Farm. It was a surprise…read moreand when we pulled up I saw goats, sheep, donkeys and highland cows. I can't think of anything that is more fun than spending an hour with two different capybara babies. Mango and Kiwi. On the way in we petted the camels. They came right up to the fence and stuck their large heads out. They were seeking attention because they very used to being petted. We were startled when one made a loud guttural braying sound. The owner explained they were letting us know they want carrots. We had about 20-25 minutes with each capybara so all together the encounter was an hour. We got a plate of raw sweet potato sticks and romaine lettuce leaves to feed each animal. They were about 4 months old and Mango the male will be about 140 pounds full grown and Kiwi was the runt of a different litter and is expected to be approximately 90 pounds when full grown which is a very small capybara. It was just my friend and me so we spent time petting and feeding them. They love water so their coat was smooth but fur like a beaver. They are in the same family as guinea pigs so they make a similar sound. They have leathery pads on the bottom of their back legs because they can kick like a kangaroo. They like being scratched under their chin and relax so much they fall over and then are disoriented about what just happened. Hilarious. Bambi's Mini Petting Farm has several different types of animal encounters including baby doll sheep and two miniature cows. They had three goats which were having kids the following weekend and you can either tour the farm or select to bottle feed the baby goats. They have plans for a holiday tour and are getting a sloth. Check out their Facebook page for events.

The drive was a little ways from Orlando but worth every mile. I really enjoyed feeding the goats and cuddling them. There is limited bottle feeding so make sure to book early on the website and bring cash if you want to purchase additional feed as I lost cell service. The young ladies here were the sweetest, very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I'm convinced that a couple baby goats are definitely in my future.

(Only for children under 40ish lbs.). Don't expect an elaborate set up. This has been put together by the property owner to help shelter a variety of different animals. (Think someone's very large back yard..) We fed and interacted with goats, ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, pigs, llamas, turkeys, peacocks, horses, and a donkey. We spent roughly 1-1.5 hrs there and the owner gave the kids popsicles before leaving. The kids and I had a great time and it was such an easy excursion. All in all money well spent and for a great cause. Tip- you pull into a dirt driveway. Forget about bringing your sports car. You'll bottom out at the entrance. Any regular car is fine.
