3 months agoWe visited last year and had such a memorable time—my kids absolutely loved it. There are chickens and goats freely roaming around, which was such a fun and unique experience for them. They also got to see horses, deer, sheep, guinea pigs, and more! We arrived just before lunchtime and brought some snacks, which worked out well. There are picnic tables and grassy spots where families can relax or lay out a picnic blanket (we saw quite a few doing that). At the entrance, you can buy animal feed for just a few dollars per bag, and there was also a scheduled time for pony rides—which my boys thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Just a heads-up: the paths are a mix of soil, sand, and gravel. I had my youngest in a pram, and it was a bit of a bumpy ride, so we took our time navigating through. There’s decent parking available, but I’d recommend coming early, especially in summer when it might get busy. We also grabbed some ice cream afterwards—they sell them on site, which was a nice treat to end the visit. Highly recommend for a fun, hands-on animal experience for kids—we’ll definitely be coming back!

2 months agoKids always enjoy visiting the park. I have noticed the price has gone up significantly without any upgrades on services or anything that improves the experience of the visitors.

2 years agoAwesome animal park to take the kids to. It's located with the McLaren Falls Park, so make a day of it. Reasonably priced and the park is nicely spaced out. We'll maintained paths and you can feed most animals. The guinea pigs were a hit with the young ones, as you get to cuddle them. Bug spray is recommended
