Cute little reindeer farm. The event was tailored to children, but overall a good experience. Only complaint was the lack of urgency to open at noon, as the tickets stated. read more

We went this past weekend. It was ok.. I definitely felt it is overpriced for what it is. Santa and the reindeer were the highlight. read more

Family friendly petting farm with chicken, peacocks, sheep, donkey, bunnies, and various seasonal activities.

So really this is geared towards small children. Did not realize this before paying but got to see a few reindeer anyway. And some neat arrangements. There were a few animals that could be pet. Santa and Mrs Claus were there. read more

We recently took a weekend trip to Frankenmuth, and stumbled upon this little heritage farm. It was easily accessible and conveniently located in close proximity to all of the other area attractions. The owner was actually the first person to greet us and was so kind, helpful and personable. The animals were well kept and the organization of the farm was both fun and informative! What a great introduction to farm life for those who are unfamiliar and a beautiful acknowledgment to the history of the area and farming. read more

We took my grandson here to see Santa and the reindeer. They had a small bounce house, and some fun activities for the kids, which my grandson enjoyed. With that being said, I was surprised at the poor condition of the animals. Many were thin, dirty, and had no water. There were ducks trying to get water out of a small swimming pool that only had a tiny bit of mud at the bottom. There was a turkey laying, looking barely alive. It was sad. The animals are what draw the people to this attraction. I would hope more of the profits would go toward better care of the animals. read more

We visited to see Santa mostly and because we have family within 30 min. Price was right and staff was super friendly. I would highly recommend a visit as an add on to a day or weekend in Frankenmuth but on its own, there's not much To see besides a Visit with Santa a small farm animal viewing and a Few Photo ops. read more

This was so much fun! The girls and I decided to go because we were in the area. We decided we wanted to hit this little petting farm because we are like toddlers. It was $3 to get a tour of the farm and pet the animals. $5 if we wanted the wanted the wagon ride. The people on the farm were so knowledgeable and nice, even though we did stump them on a few questions. There were peacocks, bunnies, sheep, chickens, ducks, horses.... read more

Well, I have no idea why this place has good reviews. There were a small number of animals that could be petted so I feel like they shouldn't advertise this as a petting farm. There were literally 3 bunnies and 1 goat that you were allowed to pet or that would allow you to pet them. But really the worst part was they didn't look well cared for and looked very sad. The pens were small and not taken care of. Two of the bunnies were in a small plastic tote on a picnic table. The tote was barely big enough for them and they had absolutely no room to move or get away if they didn't feel like being petted. The other bunny was in a makeshift pen on a concrete floor. I really felt bad for them all. Please don't go here, pay them money to keep this place running. It shouldn't be. read more

It's only open during spring and summer but this is my favorite destination to go to in Frankenmuth. it actually is our first stop. it is a working farm where grandpa Tiny can take you on a tractor ride through the fields tell you his little folk stories, and get your children's imagination story with the trolls under the bridge. and alligators in the pond. you can take a tour in the chicken coop or hold a little bunny or of the chick in Spring. There's a beautiful milking cow there that likes to push my daughter out of the way. and it seems like they have new baby piglets Every Spring not to mention the beautiful draft horses. you also can learn how they process the corn and make flour it's a very cool place to take the kids and is an actual learning experience for them . They also sell peacock feathers for only $1 and t-shirts and coloring books. I feel great when I go here because I can support something that is not zender's owned dominated and taken over like everything else in Frankenmuth. read more

This is a really outstanding farm, really great for kids. They have lot's of animals here, cattle, chickens, hens and roosters, peacocks, a donkey, two horses, pigs and many other animals. It seems to be family run and the farmer guided us on the ranch and gave lot's of interesting information about farming and different animals and how it all works. They also have a little tour they take you on with a horse carriage where you get even more information. He has a really great sense of humor and is great with kids. Truly great value for $5 per person! read more

What a great time. Super friendly staff. Took my 7 year old and 20 month old. Both had a great time. Lots to learn. Went during the week. Not many people. Would highly recommend read more

Grandpa Tiny's Farm - Petting a calf - Zoos Near Me - Frankenmuth, Michigan

This unpretentious business is run by two people who are very good with people and animals alike. Defiantly the best value for money that I experienced. Not only do you get a supervised, hands on experience with the animals but they have some old pieces of historical interest as well. They had their 19c barn restored and spent the extra money to have the Amish do it to stay true to its roots. You can see the marks of the hand tools on the beams. No exotic animals but if you want to know (or you want your children to know) where your food comes from, this site is indispensable. Also, unlike some zoo's and all factory farms, this place will not make you sad for the animals. read more

We had a wonderful time today at Grandpa Tiny's! The farmer and his wife were so friendly and walked us through the barn and told us all about the animals. The baby goats were adorable! The farmer let us go in with them and as I was kneeling down they climbed all over me. My daughter loved it. They took us on a tractor ride and told us lots of history and fun facts. The farmer had a lot of jokes and was very friendly. They even took us into the chicken house and showed us where they lay and sleep. A fun learning experience and family day! read more

Fantastic Place to visit. It's nice to see a family follow their dream. The personal touch adds a lot to the experience. Highly recommend.

Fantastic. Took our 13 month old son and my 3 yo niece. Fun for everyone! Clearly they have a passion for this farm. The wagon ride was great and didn't cost extra. The kids loved petting the animals and playing in the corn. We will come back every year that we vacation in Frankenmuth. read more
