2 months agoVery cool, hidden gem. I had no idea this place was here. The animals all seemed very happy. We got to see a lot of baby animals in the spring and was a fun place to take our young kids.

2 months agoAmazing farm experience. Definitely an easy accessible place for all families. Lovely to see bunnies goats and a new baby sandhill crane! Thank you so much for having such a great park. Excited to come back with a picnic. Restrooms were open. Looks like there are rides and maple syrup candy available sometimes. Watch out for the alligator! Lol

a year agoWe took our handicap son to see the animals. It was hot outside but still all the animals visible and easy for him to see. You can go right up to fence area and see the animals. It was very clean and easy to walk. There are also restrooms and food area. There are shaded areas to cool off. Great place.

2 years agoI have been coming here since I was a little kid. It’s always an enjoyable experience and we always loved seeing all the animals. When we went recently, there was far less interaction with the animals than I remember, though that may be due to Covid. The restaurant was closed as well, which was kind of disappointing. It was amazing to see the baby animals in the barn though, the brand new lambs were just so cute! My daughter enjoyed the couple of interactive activities in the upstairs of the barn, and we enjoyed walking the paths and through the woods learning about maple syrup collection. All-in-all a good experience.
