Then at your assigned time you can go on a tour to see the rest of the animals. Chickens and pigs and other barnyard animals are also in these areas. You can buy some feed to feed sheep and goats. The front of the zoo is a petting zoo with some loose baby goats that were fun to pet. It was a bit pricey, but it did include a guided tour with a small group. Once we got there we realized the zoo was actually open as well. Went for the first time last week because I read they had a drive-through zoo for the quarantine. I’m working on scheduling an Otter Splash experience for this summer! What impressed me was the obvious care of the animals. This is not a spit polish or high tech facility. There is a single-stall bathroom and a porta potty. There is also a gift shop & a few snacks you can buy. There were fun photo ops & places to rest & take a load off. But it was fun watching the rare breed and miniature animals & feeding them. The Petting Farm area is more fun for kids I’m sure. We had a great time letting the parakeets land on us. We also bought parakeet feed sticks & went to the Parakeet Landing enclosure. Feed was provided and it was very fun interacting with the camel. They stopped the wagon for us to unload & feed a giant 7 foot tall camel. We loaded on a hay wagon pulled by a tractor which took us to the other side of the farm where we saw some celebrity animals, camels, zebras and their emotional support animals, camels, mini-horses, emus, etc. We were able to pet a snake & the largest legless lizard I have ever seen. The building is small & our group was very crowded. The Reptile Encounter was a little less impressive. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the enclosures & obvious care given to the animals. At the end, we had the chance to pet a chinchilla, an armadillo and a hedgehog. The guide gives good detail about the animals along the way.
The Wildlife Walk was not long, but does start off with a moderate hill. My husband is on a cane, but was able to manage all of these with difficulty. This was our first visit & we got the “Adventure Package,” which includes zoo admission, the Wildlife Walk, Reptile Experience, Camel Encounter & Petting Zoo. They focus on specialized hands on “experiences” which must be booked in advance. It is a small privately owned zoo with an interesting variety of animals. Took my husband & his brother here for my husband’s birthday.
