There is a sign for the Taylor Blueberry Farm upon entrance but if you feel like you made a mistake and are actually on someone's personal property - you are, but just keep going until you see the homemade wood signs to park. You'll cross a field and park next to a fenced pasture where beautiful horses, goats and a donkey will greet you. If you don't see the Taylor's right away just hang tight - they may be picking in the field. Ms. Taylor let us use her golf cart and directed us to the place in the field where we could find the ripest berries. We filled a bucket for only $13.60 and also bought delicious homemade blueberry slushees, syrup, and grape juice. We had to go, but Ms. Taylor told us to come back in the morning to feed/pet the goats, bunnies, horses, and other animals. My daughter can't wait! The Taylor's also host big events including a fall festival on October 30 that includes bouncy house, hay rides, etc.

Their cows and goats were a treat to go and see, and if we had time to stay, we would have had the pleasure of petting them We did not come equipped with time or any blueberry picking tools, haha, but the Taylor family was nice and helpful, offering us all that we needed to get take some of their precious blueberries off their hands. Definitely a family friendly place, so go here if you've got kids, and you'd like an awesome customer experience. I love supporting family owned businesses too, so this is a no brainier to me. The blueberries were delicious too plus the location is very secluded, so there isn't highway traffic polluting the air around the crops.

My husband and I went on the Day Safari Tour April 24, 2025…read more This tour was not only fun but very knowledgeable. As we held several animals the guide explained details of each. I loved the chimpanzee hugging me and giving my husband a fist bump. The photographers know exactly when to photo for the best experience. You receive several photos in the package. There were planned bathroom breaks, two refreshment snack stops and a terrific lunch which included a variety of food and drinks. We only wish there were photos of the tiger climbing the post and white tiger chasing the ball. We know we could not be near the tigers for safety but to have these photos we be appreciated. Hopefully next year we can attend and have these two photos added to the collection. Thank you for caring about all these animals. Rena and Darcy

This price is extremely fair as I've been to several different animal experiences in the past, the only difference is you can see the love the staff has for these animals and it's just so magical! Thank you to this amazing staff for everything and making sure all the experiences here are extra special!

Online it says its 15 acres, but it looks more like 2-3 acres, so who knows whats what with that. They had a bunch of different kinds of snakes which was pretty neat. I wish we could hold the baby alligators. Right when you walk in you see the area with alligators under 5 years of age. Then in one of the building they have the baby baby ones about a foot long. I said man I want to put one on my shoulder, I want one. But we don't get to touch anything. I went to the show and the lady showed us the blue tongue skink and also the Dumeril Boa. It is a lil pricey. With military discount is $37.74. But its pretty cool to see all of the gators. They stay sooo still you wonder if they were real, then they would slightly move.

There are live feeding demo and also demos of reptiles by the associates. Other than alligators they have small and medium size animals like turtles, ostriches, hyenas and few more. There are individual houses for small reptiles, frogs and lizards. At the back they also have Alligators cove where you get to see Alligators living in the water lands. In the middle of the park there's lots of sitting area with shade. Huge fans blow all day to ease the visitors from heat and humidity. There's a small cafe that service some food, snacks, ice cream and drinks. The gift shop has lots of cool items focused on alligators, reptiles, animals and the park. Easily takes 2-3 hours to filly explore the park. We found all associates to be very friendly and constantly reminding guests how to explore the park safely.

The two women in at the entrance/gift shop were nice and welcoming. She even told us to go to the reptile area first because it closes earlier than the rest of the park. We headed right to it. The reptile house has a very off putting smell. Every enclosure was so dark that it was hard to see any of the animals and none of them were moving much, with the exception of the armadillo and the fruit bats. The sidewalks are aged and uneven and a lot of the greenery is overgrown. There is a lot of monkies and pretty parrots. Also they have signs with which exhibits are where but no real directive on the best path to see all the exhibits. When we got to the bigger animals is where thing started to turn for me. The Lion, Tigers, Giraffe, Camel, Llama, panther - all of the cats really were all single cats. most of them seemed very lethargic. One was curled up in the very corner of the cage with a piece or rotting meat near by. The tigers appeared to be pretty agitated as well they were actively following our path along their cages almost like they were looking for something to eat. Majority of the animals just appeared very sluggish or depressed or something. there is also some peacocks that were in a cage but then some random ones that just roamed. All of the more farm type of animals were lively and active and there were larger groups of them. as we were making our way through one of the employees appeared (i noticed he was kind around but not close the whole time we were there - maybe to ensure safety ?? idk - and he let me know that the park was closing in 7 minutes. I said okay and we kept on walking the path that looped back around to the front entrance. Then my kids got excited about the tortise and went to look through the glass and he again right behind us - park is closing in minutes. I confirmed that we were headed in the right direction to the entrance and we continued to walk and he just kinda stood there. It was a rather uncomfortable interaction. The cages are not large at all and are literally a chain link cage with a small chain link fence around he whole enclosure. To be very honest when the tiger seemed agitated I wasn't completely confident that the cage was really secure so i made sure to move past that cage and to the next area. a lot of the animals just seemed a little off. maybe it was because it was the end of the day? I'm not sure but I do not plan to return there or recommend it to anyone.

Looking forward to more future orders. I'm going today for some goat and duck eggs!

I was a little hesitant to visit Lynnwood Park Zoo at first because the pictures I saw online and…read morereviews I have read made it seem a bit run-down--but I'm so glad we decided to go. I was completely wrong! This zoo is nestled in the woods, giving the animal exhibits a much more natural, peaceful feel. It really seems like the animals are in an environment that's closer to their natural habitat. One of the highlights of our visit was a staff member who let us interact with some of the animals--my kids got to hold a snake, a lizard, and even a big tortoise. He was super knowledgeable and shared all kinds of fun facts about the animals. It was definitely my kids' favorite part of the trip! The only thing I would suggest is updating the exhibit signs. Some of them are worn out and could really use some color photos and clearer information to help visitors learn more about the animals. Overall, a great experience that far exceeded our expectations!

I want to start by saying- the man at the ticket office was extremely friendly and so was the other…read moreemployee that brought out animals for us to hold and look at up close. They were wonderful to talk to and I could sure see that they loved their jobs. I had saw the good reviews about this place and heard from some people that it was way better than the horrendous zoo inn Wilmington so I wanted to check it out. When you pull in you feel like it is a joke. Kind of Like a horror movie vibe- actually the whole way through. Small ticket booth and a sign for toilets that were port a potty's The signs on the animals are so faded that you can't read them. Half of the Angolans are not even in their cages and some of the ones that were looked SO unhappy. Especially the monkeys and fox. I really felt like I was on a haunted trail walking through here. One sexton was a quiet zone cause the animals were "sensitive". This was the saddest excuse for a "zoo" that I ever saw. Atleast the animals looked healthy which was a plus. I did enjoy getting to hold some of the animals up close. I know this was only $13 but I don't feel it was even worth that. Literally..you couldn't read the signs and to feed the animals you had to throw the food over towel huge fences and most of the time it hir them on their heads. I didn't take pictures of the faded signs or the overgrown things because I was focusing in the good. So, the pics you see were by far the best of the best there.

It seems after much frustration, they did something different this year and had openings so I booked over thanksgiving. I planned to leave a bit earlier but we decided to leave closer to 5 and what would normally be a 30-40 min drive was about an hour and a half. The traffic was backed up, which is no surprise but there is likely improvements that can be done here-- like checking tickets at gates rather than another option. We also had a handicap decal but no one directed where it would be, I guess we had to ask or notify sooner. Once we got through the gates, we were moving. Parking was quite a bit away which was challenging for my mom who has some hip issues. We got in, no issue and I was concerned about making it all the way through but there's plenty of time to slow down and enjoy. The had hot chocolate which was the perfect touch of a freeezing night, as well as alcoholic options. The indoor train exhibition is also a must see! Overall, I would highly recommend, it was absolutely beautiful and an experience to ring in the holidays. Get there early to enjoy and make sure to check for tickets and follow for when they go on sale!
