Reviews
The enclosures are extremely old and outdated. The animals have very little room to move around. Some much worse than others. Wolves, Lions, Tigers, Alligators, Baboons, leopards, monkeys and, large snakes, Bear and Panther especially need much larger enclosures. Also, the animals had very little, if any interesting enclosure details like trees, ropes, rocks, things to climb. Often they had nothing. The animals are miserable. It was very sad to see. They are fed well, but live miserable lives. I find this disgraceful considering the museum owned by this family has 100's of priceless classic cars and motorcycles, tractors and rare items which are worth millions and millions. If they sold just one of these items they could easily afford to make modern, necessary and much more humane changes to the enclosures. I found the effort put into the welfare of these animals was very poor and this should not be allowed in this day and age in New Jersey. If more people took notice they would be forced to do something about it. Times have changed and this so-called farm is simply archaic, unethical and wrong. God help those animals. Lastly the wolves had such bad ear infections their ears were flat to their heads and the wolves were shaking their heads profusely. One of the foxes (black fox) had a severe would on its neck as well. Lastly the raven stuck in the porcupine cage was disgraceful. It was so obvious the raven was going crazy. All of this was very sad to me.

The owner of this zoo (NJ General Assembly Membe Parker Space) clearly does not care about the welfare of these animals and would rather line his pockets with money that should be going to their care. The enclosures are run down, very barren, and lacking in things to engage the animals. The big animals have nowhere near enough space. This is downright abusive. Please do not go to Space Farms and support this nonsense.

I think it is a good place to go and visit. It is off the beaten path to get there. The enclosures for the animals seem a little behind the times compared to bigger zoos. That being said, it is a great place to take the kids. Besides animals being on exhibit, the have a car museum and other attractions as well. It is a good place to spend a few hours.

Was a nice quiet time for family. Could be more exhibits. More learning activities in the store.
