I haven't been here in a few years, so when I walked into the original barn, I was redirected to the newer barns in the back where the animals are now held. I also arrived at 3:40pm not knowing that they closed at 4:00pm (I didn't look it up on Yelp first). When we arrived, the nice lady in the gift shop told us that they don't charge after 3:30pm because our time is limited, but so are the animals out for petting. We were treated to a pair of donkeys, a troth of baby chicks, three little pigs, some bunnies that were secluded due to bad behavior, and two cows who love to eat hay. All of the animals were friendly and active, and the kids had a blast in our short time there. In addition to the animals, there is a very nice wooden tractor out front for the kids to play and climb on.

Fun visit with our seven-year-old. Tremendous staff - and the animals were gentle. Nice little gift shop. Well located near two food trucks and a cheese store.

I wondered if it would be weird as two adults with no kids going here, but it was fine. We came late in the day right before they closed, so they let us just poke our heads into the barn to check it out. There were sheep, cows, goats, small donkeys, baby ducks & chickens, pigs, and long haired rabbits. We didn't get to go see Carlos the Ox outside, but will definitely come back to meet him! You can feed & pet the animals, and even go into some of their enclosures. The staff is very knowledgeable & patient.
