“It was super fun! My son and his friend feed the animals! When we were looking at the racoons they were sleeping! Be sure to check out this zoo!!! And my son and his friend learned to shoot the arch and they won prizes!!!”
“Lovely mini zoo, very kid-friendly, you can buy bags of food and feed the animals, do pony rides, archery, or have a bite and a drink on site, and cool down in the shade. Our toddler really loved feeding and stroking the animals. Overall it was a great experience. *To improve - the small stretch of road between the main road and the zoo club is in an absolute awful state, plea…”
“Good spot if you’ve got kids. There were a few small pigs walking around freely. The place has more birds than other animals, but overall it’s clean and organized. Worth checking out.”
- Crowded Saturday–Sunday
- Farm smell in some areas (natural)
