I'm really torn in writing this review. I'll go with 4 stars because I like supporting local…read morebusinesses and the animals did seem well cared for which I can appreciate. Personally I feel like the admission price is too much for the experience, but I also understand because they have a lot of animals that need care and food so once again it's understandable. I personally got tickets on Groupon for my friend and I to take our little boys. From online or the outside I really had no clue what we were getting into. I wasn't sure if I should get my stroller out or not, but to be honest it's not really a large space, so I'm glad I didn't end up taking the stroller in. The lady at the front desk was helpful and we scanned out virtual ti key for entry. They have some real animal lovers working and I love that they employ some younger persons who obviously love animals. There was a really pretty multicolored little bird in the front and a hand washing station. I saw a hedgehog, rats, ferrets and fish/frogs at the front. We went past the gate into the same room and there was a pig, two goats, an alpaca, two baby lambs, and a small type of horse. The alpaca and horse were tethered, but the others were free to roam within the room and there were some toys around. The gates (within the same room) have 3 other separated sections, there was a reptile section with turtles, a lizard, I can't remember exactly, but probably a snake. The next section had bunnies, small bunnies and full sized bunnies of a few different breeds, they were very soft, but a little difficult to try to pick up as most of them were hiding under their cages. And the last section had some baby ducks or goslings I couldn't tell, as well as some empty bird cages. It depends on who you go with. I kept trying to pet the baby lambs because I had drove 45 minutes to get there haha. From what I understand, they also have like a traveling petting zoo and you can hire them for parties/events. All in all, the animals seem well taken care of even though there isn't a ton of space. Now that I've been once, I don't think I need to go again, but it could be a fun activity for a local to try.

First of all, Aunt B's barn is not an actual barn but rather, more of a warehouse room with 4 areas…read moredivided by fencing to house animals. There is an area for reptiles, an area for rabbit/a chinchilla and guinea pig, an area for baby chickens and another area for a couple of ferrets. Then in the main area there is a pig, chicken, baby goat, small horse, and a llama along with a small Playschool type slide for kids and a push type tractor. If it sounds crowded, it is. Mind you, all of this is housed into one warehouse type of room with only the back door open for any type of ventilation. When we went, it was during spring break for the local schools so we understood it would be busier than usual. That said, with the number of guests added to the resident animals, it still was entirely too crowded and noisy to really enjoy seeing or petting any of the animals. Actually, the animals don't seem to want to be handled. We noticed whenever someone would try to pet the animals, they did their best to walk away or hide. In order to keep the small horse, goat and llama in one location, there was a mound of straw/hay on the floor for them to eat. The owner does keep the animal droppings picked up. Young kids who we assume are related to the owner try to help customers hold of the animals at least in a couple of areas but you can't tell who is an employee versus who is a guest. Parking is beyond limited with only three or four spots directly in front of the "barn". Loved the sink to wash hands before leaving. Thumbs up for the idea. We really wanted to love this experience. Recommendation: limit the number of guests and time allowed to create a more calming and enjoyable atmosphere for both children and especially the animals.

This farm is so much fun! We spent three hours here and could have stayed longer. Talk about bang…read morefor your buck!!! The rides, animals, corn maze, corn pit, and pumpkin stand were so much fun. I liked the corn maze wasn't overly big but it was just the right size. My kids loved going on the rides as many times as they could. They had the carousel, tea cups, swings, and many other rides. the pumpkins they were selling were good sized and there were many varieties. They had portable potty's for customers to use. We came during the day and there was a food stand selling Mexican style corn on the cob and drinks. There's also a little general store that sold popcorn, Carmel apples, ice cream and fruit. I will definitely be back several times before the season ends.

Five stars for a farm animal petting zoo? In little Kamas, UT? I had to. I've passed the alpacas…read moremany times, but this time there was a petting zoo sign. I pulled over. Of course. It's the honor system. Love it. $1 (or donation) for a large cup of feed. Drop your dollars into the box and take your cups of feed. Or drop a couple of twenties. Hey, it's for the animals. If you haven't ever fed farm animals, keep your hand/fingers flat with a pile of feed in your palm. Don't stick up fingers or they'll be mistaken for carrots. So many animals to feed. Mini horses, Mini Donkeys, Mini Mules, Alpacas, Bunnies, Goats and more. And don't even think about leaving without scratching the pigs' backs. The owner is super friendly. Super nice. Super helpful.

What a cute little farm!!!…read more My husband and I wanted to take our 1 year old son to see some farm animals up close since we were in the area last Friday. We didn't have a lot of expectations given the reviews on here but we figured we check it out for our son. We were pleasantly surprised how much fun we had! When we walked in, we were greeted by the nice staff and volunteers who told us the $4 entrance fee goes towards donations to help feed, house, and care for all the animals. We also learned that they're rescue animals. They have a variety of farm animals to feed and pet including a donkey, ponies, sheep, goats, cows, and chickens. They offer a punch card when you purchase grains to feed the animals too. Our son had so much fun with the animals. He smiled and laughed in excitement which put a huge smile on our face. Keep in mind that the farm is small but they are working hard to expand for everyone of all ages. There's a cute little rollercoaster and pony carousel. They even have a small Wild West theme town for the kids to play on. We had a great time on the farm. Definitely recommend checking this place out. We will be sure to come back again.

It's small and muddy, and some of the enclosures seem cramped, but you can tell the people here…read morereally love these animals. The gal at the front window told us they are all rescues. We came for a visit and got to let baby cows, rabbits, and check out the alpacas and pigs. We also let the kids go for pony rides around Gardner village. We had a great time and will be back. I just really wish the staff wore masks. Nobody but us was masked, even the handlers taking the kids on the horses.

We found a new place for our trees!! It was our first time here. Definitely NOT the last. This…read moreplace is AWESOME! Upon arriving, we had a rough start finding the entrance and where to go for parking. The signs are really hard to see at night. And me, with my night time astigmatism, even harder. Lol! Either that or my husband and I are just blind. BUT we found it. Just before the house, there are signs wrapped in Christmas lights and it takes you to the parking area. I was feeling a little bummed out and thought, "ugh this is already a bad review from me." I held on and kept the Christmas spirit (for my son and nephew of course lol). HOW was I going to let my blindness (not being able to see the parking entrance) ruin my experience?! I'm SOOOO GLAD I didn't throw a fit and kept going with the flow. Because BOY!! I tell you, the PERFECT SPOT for me and my little family. I don't like big crowds and crowded areas. This place was perfect. Although, I did wish there were more people because this place is WORTH the visit and trip. It was such a warm and welcoming spot! Definitely a cozy place. I loved that they had a bunch of spots for photo ops and family Christmas pictures! What a smart idea! If you're a photographer looking for a spot for clients, I recommend here. It's cheap to enter, but the photo props are awesome. The difference in the entrance fee if you buy a tree is A GREAT deal!!! The have rope for those traveling in cars (to tie down), they can clip the bottom with a fresh cut and drill a hole. They have a Teepee with a fire pit and smores sticks. Grab your s'mores kit and hangout. The Christmas music playing throughout, just makes it so much cozier. The slides and animals were my son's favorite. The trolley and movie was mine. ;) enjoy a ride while watching a Christmas show?! Of course!! They provided blankets on the trolley as well. Ahh! I can't describe this place enough. You'll have to go and check it out yourselves. Great for families, couples, singles, extended families, and even your fur babies! We decided to set this place for our family tradition tree shopping spot. Love it!!

I spied several parents climbing the festive structures and and showing the crowd how a slide is supposed to be handled. Trains, targets, backcountry music station, slides, tractors, maze, petting zoo and more. You will find Fizz drinks and snacks in a custom built shop made from and antique horse trailer that now glows. And don't forget pumpkins of all sizes and varieties and gourds. And if you are looking for other Gordos goods they have it for you. If you are lucky, they may have some cute puppies for sale, ready to be cuddled.

I love the Hogle Zoo because they find a way to welcome kids and the folks that are still kids at…read moreheart. In addition to regular hours they offer kid free events like Zoo Brew, where adults can hang at the museum after hours. They just need a better gift shops!!!! It doesn't feel like there's a lot of variety of merchandise. And the merchandise they do haven't is mainly for kids. There's a good variety of animals but definitely more of a focus on animals native to Utah. You have your tigers, lions, giraffes and zebras, all the animals you'd expect to see at the zoo. While the animals are clearly well cared for some of the enclosures seem a bit small. The zoo itself is pretty small which means it gets crowded pretty easily. It also means that if you don't take your time you're gonna end up covering the whole zoo in two hours.

A rare visit to the zoo for us, and we got seriously lucky by visiting at the right time because it…read moregot rained out only a few hours after our visit. It was sprinkling when we were there but wasn't too bad. We had visited an aquarium in Draper earlier in the day and we had all the time in the world to explore there. But for the zoo, we were pressed for time because we had somewhere to be in the downtown area later afternoon, so we wanted to try and see everything we could in a short period of time. I guess you could call our day "animal day" due to us visiting an aquarium and a zoo on the same day lol. The first exhibit we stopped by was the giraffe and zebra exhibit, where you can get close to and interact with the giraffes under zookeeper supervision. My maternal grandmother's favorite animal was the giraffe and this would be her favorite thing to do if I ever bought her to a zoo. As we moved along, we saw spider monkeys and wild horses, and this was the first time I've ever seen a horse yawn in person, even being around horses before in the past. We then passed by an outdoor theater, where a dog show was going on (we did hear music while walking around, but we weren't sure where it was coming from). And these dogs can REALLY jump, like how high a cat can jump onto a tall ledge. It was pretty impressive to see that. They had two dogs that were performing during this show, but I saw more of them being transported in their carriers as we were walking around. One of my favorite parts about this trip to the zoo is seeing their sand cats. They were soooo cute and tiny that I wanted to cradle them. These sand cats can be found inside of an indoor exhibit along with other wild animals when you go past the fox exhibit. Other animals that we saw were orangutans, gorillas, tigers, polar bears, rhinos, and various reptiles. My LTP tried to get a picture of the tiger, but it kept running away, like it knew it was going to have its' picture taken. The art murals that can be found in some places were also very creative. One of them was being worked on at the time of our visit. We had a great time here; I think we were here for about two hours at least and got to visit all the animal exhibits here. A great find in the Salt Lake City area.
