What parents say

This place is AMAZING we’ve been coming here for 3 years since my toddlers were babies. First off thank you for considering military members, children under 3 free and for the beautiful renovations that have been made.

★★★★★ — Ryan, Mar 2025

Great, calm and clean ranch. Attentive and friendly staff. We liked it and enjoyed it so much! $35 One adult, and one kid. You have the right to pet animals. Pony ride $8 (one lap) with Mr. Gerardo, a kind and nice person: was amazing! He guided my son beautifully.

★★★★★ — Monkey, Nov 2021

Pros: Amazing access to the animals; you get to be right up close to them to feed (the basket of food to feed them is $6) and pet them, it’s awesome. Pony’s weren’t out that day. Roosters roam free on the walkways. Workers are super nice and attentive, hand washing station is great.

★★★★☆ — Melissa, Oct 2022

Worth it, they are expanding too. Adult $16, Kids $13. A very walkable and clean petting zoo with a kid sized replica western town. Instead of feeding the animals with pellets they have real veggies for you to hand out.
