We had the best time here! Our tour guide Garren was very knowledgeable, kind, and made the experience really fun! My family and I went on a nice weekday and I highly recommend buying tickets in advanced or at least planning your trip because it is a guided tour and they only go at specific times. We had a very small group with just another mom and her son. It was a wonderful day! Got up and close with the animals, pet a bunch and held some snakes! Lots of variety! All the animals were happy and well looked after! We spent about 2 and a half hours here. At the end there is a playground for the kids. Will definitely come back another time :)

We took a Saturday 10am tour and our guide was Randa, she was awesome. She took care to give us proper up front information for the kiddos and informative and interesting education about the animals we visited and were able to interact with. This park doesn’t look like much from the road but this was an incredibly immersive and familial experience with friendly staff, casual approachable vibe, and special animals that you could tell were being very well cared for. Pens were clean, animals were clean and happy, energetic and their bowls filled with fresh lush greens carrots sweet potatoes and nutrition pellets (for the porcupine) my boys who are 5 and 6 got to wear large snakes, hold fancy chickens, pet kangaroos, feed llamas and goats, talk to exotic birds, see a sloth hanging out on the swingset. It was really a special experience with great memorable personalities and encounters.

What an amazing place for kids and adults. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. So much work has been done since I was here last. Enclosures and animals are in amazing shape and very fun and friendly.

Great experience for all ages, many different animals to interact with on the guided tours. Each time we've been they've added new animals to the collection. Recommend you purchase tickets ahead of time as guided tours start at specific times and walk in service is not generally available.

Private animal interactions are also available which are fantastic. Availability does vary depending on the animals health and mood on a given day, so if you have a particular animal you want to do a private event with, contact the staff ahead of time. We did a private interaction with their Coati named Ralphie and it was great! He's super friendly and the staff made it a very fun and safe experience. Expect to spend approx 90 minutes on the guided portion and then you are free to roam.

Such a great experience! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave time for everyone to explore, get pictures, and get the full experience with the animals (my daughter was even able to feed a baby kangaroo) for the duration of the tour (1 1/2 hrs). We added the Capybara meet up, and that was definitely worth it.
