Came for the open house event in August. It was sooo fun! I had never heard of this farm before but…read moresaw it pop up on Facebook. When we arrived, I definitely was not expecting the alpacas to be free roaming!! They were so cute and obviously well taken care of and loved. I bought some alpaca food for $5 and it was a big portion that kept me and my family busy. All of the staff was friendly and very accommodating. It was a hot day without shade but we didn't have much of a problem.

There is also an option to "glamp" in the tent provided by the farm. The alpacas and a few other animals are free roaming and will greet you at your campsite or the petting zoo area. If you have food they will definitely come! It was so much fun interacting with the animals on this farm. We camped for the night and in the morning we were greeted at our van by the old donkey on the farm. The alpacas are the main star though, so friendly and adorable! We brought our dogs with us and the alpacas were very curious to meet them. They followed us around the farm for quite a while. I literately fell in love with this place and I can't wait to go back!!! There were even twins goats born the hour before we arrived. What's not to love about this amazing place. I feel lucky to have experienced it!

Even though I already wrote a review around four years ago about this fantastic sanctuary in the…read morehigh desert of Nevada, I felt compelled to write another after my second visit about a week ago. To begin with, the mere setting of this amazing place is awe-inspiring. If you love the desert like I do, you will feel closer to the sky out here and the texture and color of this sandstone old west location will have you clicking picture after picture. Once you begin roaming around, you will enjoy the beauty of the rescue animals which range from cheetahs and tigers to bears and wolves. One of the highlights this time were the iguanas. Mischa was actually out with her handler soaking up the sun and I got to see her close-up! The people who work at Animal Ark are dedicated to these animals and the guests who come to see them. They have many interesting facts to share. For instance, I did not know iguanas could use their tails like a whip. This "weapon" can break bones! The gift shop also has many great items to bring home from t-shirts to books, magnets, and ornaments. I know we will return. This place is a real Nevada treasure!!

Our guide, Kiera, was fantastic -- knowledgeable, relaxed, encouraging, and clearly wonderful with both people and horses. The scenery was breathtaking, and the ride felt like a real adventure rather than just following a trail in a line. We crossed a beautiful river twice, rode through gorgeous mountain terrain, and truly got to experience the landscape. My horse, Buckwheat, was such a character and made the ride even more fun. We especially appreciated that the ride felt personal, peaceful, and authentic. You can tell the horses are well cared for and that the guides genuinely love what they do. Highly, highly recommend this experience if you're looking for a scenic and memorable ride in the Truckee/Tahoe area!

She is so much more than an experienced trail guide -- Stephanie is a knowledgeable historian, an engaging storyteller and an eager teacher of the local flora, fauna and local lore. I'll never pick and smell sage again without thinking of the tale she shared about how cowboys once used it for cleansing back in the day. An early morning ride through the quiet beauty and serenity of the Tahoe National Forest, taking it all in from atop sure-footed Whiskey, was the absolute best start to the day -- and an experience I look forward to enjoying again and again.

We can't wait to go back for another visit definitely a must-try for anyone looking for a unique and memorable outing! Do wish there were more pumpkins but we were late in the season this year!

The animal area has been cleaned up and there are tons of working sinks to wash hands. You can purchase animal food, pony rides, and bottles to feed the animals. There is also a play gym, train rides, hay rides, trike races, zip lines, slides, dirt to shovel, and more. My three year old easily spent over three hours here and loved every minute. We will definitely be back in the fall!! My only suggestion to andelin farms is to add a fan in the baby nursing hut. It was very stuffy in there.

We haven't visited since last year's Baby Animals event and boy have they changed things up! They…read moreset up a long ticket booth to the right of the entrance with nice winding queue line, divided into Prepaid and Purchasing lines. I was surprised to see how they pushed the entrance area past the barn, but totally makes sense for those who may want to just stop by to shop and not want to enjoy the festivities. The staff were all friendly and kept up with keeping the animal pens clear of poop, especially for the petting ones. They had signage to designate which ones you could feed the animal food to and which ones you couldn't enter due to the animals resting. I really liked how they sectioned off all the animals off to the left side with its own entrance and exit and lots of sanitizing and handwashing stations nearby. They had some new things at the farm too. I saw signage advertising Cuddling with Calves for $20 (kids 8+). They also had some additional calves to see and pet along the way. So adorable! Outside of the animal area, they had a new section, Peacock Pedalers, that allowed kids and adults to ride tricycles around. They also had refreshment stations within the farm for drinks, kettlecorn, and other snacks, which made it convenient. What surprised me was that the features that were typically busy on our past visits, like the mini zip lines and the barrel ride, were very little to no waits. They offered lots of seating for taking a break and grabbing some food from the three food trucks they offered. The pulled pork nachos were yummy! It was a great deal to spend the day at the farm for $20 tickets. Yes, they offered lots of additions like the animal feed, train tickets, and gem sluicing for a price but not really necessary to have a great experience. The baby chicks and goats were the highlight of our visit. My daughter wants to go back next weekend!

What a great experience! I went on the Fairy Trail with my son and his wife and their almost…read more6-year-old daughter. She loved every minute. Wandering down the trails to find all the little vignettes was fun and then we enjoyed meeting all the animals and feeding them treats. Hard to pick any favorites amongst the animals but the little goats were a big hit since they were so easy to interact with. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and we appreciated the popcorn, cider and water snacks. I'm not sure if we actually found all the items on the "treasure hunt" but they kindly allowed my granddaughter to pick a "prize" anyway and she loved the purple magic wand she chose. One difficulty is that there is no restroom, not even a portapotty. Given the location that is not good as it is quite a distance to get to any place with a public restroom. Another is that there is no way to contact the venue by phone if you have questions. I almost didn't go because I was a bit late and the confirmation I received said that we had to be there at our specific time with no ability to change it. Fortunately my son was able to email them and ask if I could catch up to them on the trail if I arrived a bit late and they responded quickly enough that I didn't have to turn around and go back home (my drive there was two hours).

This adventure begins under a gazebo in the desert mountains thirty minutes outside of Reno. It's a beautiful setting. Kathleen the wildlife expert and Falconer is absolutely brilliant. She's easy going, articulate, and totally in tune with the animals. You get a feeling of awe in the close proximity to the birds. It's a magical experience to see and learn about them up close. Kathleen has dedicated her life to this endeavor and it shows. The birds are beautifully cared for. I got to wear the leather glove and have a Harris's Hawk swoop down on my wrist, take a treat and fly away. I got to see a giant Eurasian Owl and have her sit on my gloved wrist. We had the unexpected pleasure of seeing an 8 week old baby Owl and pet his downy feathers. This was a soul fulfilling day and I can't stop thinking about it. Experiences like this are a gift to be cherished. I cannot recommend this enough! Thank you, Kathleen!! The best day ever!

Having the opportunity to have such beautiful species of birds up close and personal is unmatched. I would most definitely come back to relive these memories.

My favorites were sweet chili garlic and pineapple jalapeño. It's spicy but not too spicy. (But I guess I should add that I'm accustomed to spicy food so it depends on your palette) The favor is delicious! I enjoyed my time there.
