    This is a straight up drive through zoo. Not a petting zoo but an enclosed zoo where the animals can bump, scratch, lick and even damage your vehicle. Luckily that did not happen to us on this trip. You pull in, pay, sign a waiver and are given buckets of food (for a cost) to feed the animals. Our vehicle had two buckets and it was not enough. The buffalo straight snatched that bucket and all it's contents. He was so strong. One of the bears climbed up on the bumper of the vehicle and the deer were no afraid at all. There is a QR code you scanned that would give you information on the animals as you drive through the park. I really enjoyed that. I thought it was nice for a one time see and do but don't see myself going back.

    This place is Amazing!! We did the Safari Adventure Drive through. It was well mapped out so we knew where to go. The rules were easily understandable. We fed several Llama, deer, cattle, highland Cows and Bison. We drove through the Bears which was really cool! We visited the Zebras and Giraffe! Semi pricey but not horrible as it's well worth it. The food buckets for the animals costs separate but yup, still worth it! The staff are very friendly and willing to answer questions. The entire park is welcoming and clean! Will be returning for sure!

    Too far away to feed.

    We did the drive through version and couldn't stop laughing. The animals have their routine down, which includes purposefully blocking your car (alpacas) or diving right into the car (camels, ostriches, cows). If you want to get super close to some hungry animals, this is the place. Just be prepared to clean drool and pellets out of your car after.

    What a super cool place! Wasn't expecting to stay 5 hours or enjoy it as much as we did. We only did the walk through, but it was plenty. You are able to walk right up to animals and feed or pet. Kids absolutely loved not only the animals but the play areas. You could truly let your kids play for a couple hours and they wouldn't get bored. Cool underground tunnels (bring a flashlight. They sell them but just bring your own), and big slides. Also want to add that the entire place was clean. Like exceptionally clean. The animals all appear to be happy and well taken care of. The staff was also helpful in answering questions about the animals (Thanks Aden:). We will be back again and I would highly recommend to others.

    Hands down the best adventure we went on while visiting Michigan for a summer with our four-year-old daughter. It's an adventure park with animals to feed, massive playgrounds with underground tunnels, a Western town built for kids and an ice cream shop. It's a paradise. Here's why you should go: 1) Amenities: It's $12 per person (kids under two are free), but considering you could spend all day (they are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the summer), it's worth every dollar. They have two large playgrounds with tunnels, slides, ropes, etc. to play on. They have multiple areas where you can feed animals from cows to goats to camels. There's a Western town set up for kids with baby goats roaming free. Kids can hold bunnies, guinea pigs, etc. There's a store with a few toys at reasonable prices and an ice cream shop. Kids LOVE this place. 2) Staff: They are very friendly, helpful and keep visitors and animals safe. If you need anything, it's easy to find a staff member to help. 3) Cleanliness: Considering how many kids and animals roam the park, they do a great job of keeping it clean. 4) Location: It's 30 minutes outside of Grand Rapids, not too long of a drive for kids. Pro-tip: If you're on a budget, park in the lot and play on the playground outside of the entrance. It's free and with underground tunnels, it keeps kids entertained for awhile.

    For Memorial Day weekend, my family and I went to Deer Tracks to look at the animals and enjoy the warmer weather. They promptly opened at 10, and while the front said we needed masks to enter, many employees and patrons weren't wearing masks. The line to purchase tickets moved fairly swift and the kids just wandered the lobby and looked at the various taxidermy on the walls. They have significantly expanded since last summer and there were so many animals to see! Birds, cows, goats, alpacas, camels, donkeys, bears and so much more. Even with COVID, people were really respectful of the space while outside (and you can only control young kids for being 6ft apart a little bit at a time). The staff were friendly and helpful if needed but the park had a lot of space that allowed you to stay away from others. You can purchase food to feed the different animals and were allowed to pet almost all of them. It's a great spot that you can enjoy animals and outdoors and even grab some ice cream as a treat after! It's a fun spot and highly recommend visiting. Only knocked a star based on mask signage and not enforcing it even though CDC guidance states vaccinated individuals don't need masks. It would be good to enforce it as appropriate.

    What a great way to spend an afternoon feeding goats camels and pigs and snuggling baby bunnies. I took my great niece here and we bought food to feed the animals and it was so fun. The baby goats walk around and you can hold them or they may try to escape with you. There are several play areas for the kids to enjoy. Her favorite was holding the baby bunnies. They are so tiny and cute They have food also to enjoy. It's a fantastic place for the whole family.

    So many animals to see here! Both my lil toddlers and elderly in-laws had fun. I'm sad the ice cream shop was closed but we still had fun. Some favorites of mine were the bunny house and the bears to see. Great place for the whole family!

    Bring your wallet! This place is UBER EXPENSIVE and not worth the trip to 14 Mile Rd.

    It was super fun getting to feed the animals on the safari and petting the little ones on the zoo side.
