I typically dislike touristy places but this Farmers market and huge outdoor play space with petting zoo was awesome!!

There is an ATM in the gift shop area in case you don't have cash, it will have a line. So bring cash. 3. The deer food stands are closed in the park. 4. The deer food machines that take quarters are filled and work. (I did find one broken across from the Lama's) 5. You can get a roll or two of quarters from the ticket station. (Remember cash only) Pro-tips: * The deer like the corn/deer feed over the crackers. Buy one pack of crackers to feed the goats and Bison when you enter. * use your quarters to buy deer feed from the vending machines. Use that empty cracker bag to put your deer feed in. * chickens and birds prefer the deer feed (corn) over the crackers. * Read my previous review for more insights.

The general admission is different from the train ride it's an additional fee but the train ride is worth it because you go to an enclosure and the llamas would just go near you so you can feed them so make sure you have carrots or feeds when you go into the train ride. Also after the train ride you can go into the parakeet section and you will pass by the nursery where the animal encounters are at and there are also a bunch of goats that you can feed so if you want to make sure that you still have some carrots for them. You can easily spend all your day here but I have to use probably enough depending on how crowded the place is. There were also some camels and giraffes to feed although I wasn't lucky to catch the giraffe outside. Also saw some Camel rides and some pony rides. I will definitely be coming back in for sure next time I will try the animal encounters specifically the sloth encounter in the red panda encounter seems interesting. Happy exploring!

My mother had never rode a horse and she wanted to check it off her bucket list. Canyon Creek…read moreRiding Stable was the closest horseback riding activity near our hotel. Initially you pay and sign waivers at a small building and the actual stable where you ride the horses is right across the street. I paid a little over $50 for the both of us, at the stable you walk onto a tall platform where the employees walk a horse up to you and you get on. My mother got a horse named Pepper and I got a horse named Scrappy (his name is quite suiting). This experience reminded me of why I don't like riding horses and why I hope to never ride one again. Although, they are beautiful and majestic Mr. Scrappy made it very clear that he was the one in charge lol. Despite my efforts to steer him with the reins, Scrappy was in his own little world. He would sometimes stop in the middle of the trail and when I gently kicked his side he just looked at me like I was stupid from his peripheral, he would turn completely around and just stand still facing away from the rest of the group, he would leave the single file line to grab a little snack (the surrounding plants), and he kept invading Pepper's personal space by walking too closely behind him/her. Scrappy was beautiful but he terrified me lol. (Obviously, the staff can't control the horse's behavior, this portion of the review is not reflected in the rating). The trail was beautiful and we even got the opportunity to see some deer. I agree with previous reviews about the animatronics being too much or a little tacky. I just think they're unnecessary, the trail is beautiful in itself, no need for the extra props. I definitely feel like you get your money's worth, the ride last about an hour, no exaggeration. Unfortunately for me I was ready to get off Scrappy 15 mins into the walk lol. I've seen some reviews complaining about the staff not being friendly, I have to disagree. I never felt like the staff was being rude. However, some Horses did have a bad cough including Scrappy (for the first portion of the trail), additionally the staff is really strict about taking pictures, I'm not sure why. It's unfortunate I couldn't take pictures of Scrappy or the trail. After Horseback riding you have the opportunity to checkout the petting zoo. They recommend you go to the petting zoo after riding with the horses because apparently the horses don't like the smell of the other animals (which mostly consist of goats and I saw 1 donkey). All in all Canyon Creek is really good for beginner riders and first timers. Staff is friendly, and the trail is pretty. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Their tone of…read morevoice was demeaning, demanding that I either put my sweater on or leave it in the car and could not wear it around my waste. Then a man yelled at me for having my phone out and said no pictures or videos with the horses and was so mean about it. Our guide didn't talk at all with us, my horse that I was riding with my 4 year old was trouble, nearly took us over the side of the trail and into the trees, my sunglasses and Lululemon hat fell off near the beginning of the trail and the staff refused to allow me to go back for it. I left my phone number with them saying I really would like my belongings returned and they told me it's gone you won't get it back. The petting farm was a joke with only 3 goats and a donkey and 3 bunnies. I was so disappointed that I wasn't allowed to capture my girls riding their first horse and was told I needed to pay $35 dollars for 3 5x7 pictures that looked like they were printed on paper from a computer printer. This business had such poor costumer service and I felt really taken advantage of.
