Summary:
This farm has a vast collection of miniature animals of all sorts: Miniature Cows, Miniature Sheep, Miniature Horses, Miniature Donkeys, Goats, Miniature Chickens, Miniature Turkeys, and Miniature Potbellied Pigs. Kids can brush the animals. You cannot feed the animals. You can take a pony ride on Saturdays (maybe Sunday too, but I know it was not available during the weekdays). You can also pan for gems and arrowheads.Note: We are not compensated in any way, shape, or form for our review. We post the places we go to share the information.
Reece’s Review (3 years old):
I liked the playground and the treehouse.Hilary's Review:
- This place is cute. I don't know if they have more going on during the weekend, but it was pretty quiet when we visited on a Thursday late morning. Great collection of animals! I truly enjoyed the turkeys for some reason! The picnic area is cute and my kiddo loved playing with some other kids that were there on the "tree house".
- However, for $10 per person, the self-guided tour took maybe 45 minutes. (If you were to do the pony ride and the panning for your ONE child it would be $40. (Two admissions, one pony ride, one panning kit) EEK! Imagine if you have more than one child! E-GADS!!
- Overall, I think it is very expensive for the amount of time/entertainment value. Nice to visit once, but definitely too expensive to go back multiple times. A zoo membership is only $99 for a family for a whole year! You spend $20 to visit once here!
Restrooms:
- Outhouse/Port-a-potty only
Accessibility:
- I am not a special needs expert, but since it is self-guided, I think it would be great for kids with special needs. The only hindrance would be children/adults that have difficulty walking through straw/mulch. You walk through farm gates into animal pens. Those prone to trip hazards may need extra help.
- Call the farm to see if they have any specific accommodations
