    What an awesome experience! This experience requires online reservations and they will not allow walk-ins. That being said, I purchased our tickets a couple of days in advance. They are only open Friday thru Sunday. We had a 4pm reservation for the hour long tour. As we walked up to the barn, we were greeted by Inky the Llama who will totally put a smile on your face. The tour starts with a brief history of the farm and safety precautions when interacting with the Alpacas. After the briefing, the group entered an area where we were allowed to spend some time petting, taking pics, and just learning about the female Alpacas. Rosie was the friendliest and loved taking pics. We were then given carrots to feed a differrnt group of Alpacas through or above the fence. From there we entered a gate where a group of male Alpacas were kept. No feeding or petting. They were pretty riled up in hopes of getting some carrots. We ended by feeding the Filipino Water Buffalo carrots and his sidekick, a goat, some leaves. We did see the peacocks, but they were put inside their cage for the night. We stopped by the store with adorable gifts and took in the views from the balcony. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get here. Quite a bit of people were late. When you turn onto the road look for signs and follow the road all the way up until you see the red barn. We loved our visit and especially loved hearing about the rescued animals.

    Water buffalo. It's a big one.

    I love alpacas. They are strange creatures, sure, but they can be cuddly. Yes, cuddly. Some will let you kiss them on the mouth. Some may nip you on your chin (yes, I received a gentle, harmless, bloodless nip). Most will allow you to pet their wonderful fur. Some don't want to have anything to do with you--and that is ok. Treat yourself and your family to a visit with some alpacas. The location is absolutely gorgeous and I cannot imagine someone not having a wonderful time here. Make sure you make a reservation and give yourself some extra time to get to the farm. Tours start on time.

    We had such a great time at Canzelle Alpacas Farm, my kids loved feeding the Alpacas and learning about them and the history of the farm. It was a perfect way to end our getaway to Carpinteria. I would highly recommend it if you're in the area.

    Came here on a holiday weekend afternoon to visit with the alpacas. The venue and staff are great. It's clear that they take great care of the animals. The alpacas are super cute and fun to be around and learn about. The main reason could not fully enjoy the visit was because of how many people were there. It was a large crowd, which made it pretty chaotic. People were running around, trying to get photos, not really listening to the instructions about how to interact with the alpacas. It made it challenging to get close to the animals or enjoy their presence. Also, it was frustrating that everyone was focused on getting photos of themselves with animals vs. actually interacting with the animals, or creating a peaceful environment. We didn't get much of an opportunity to interact because others were monopolizing the more friendly ones, and I think the loud crowd was spooking the rest. With that, would recommend coming at a less busy time.

    We stopped by on the way back from Santa Barbara to LA, and it was a fun and delightful experience for my family with 2 young kids. We were part of a group tour and got plenty of time to spend with the alpacas in different locations on the farm. We were able to feed, pet, and take pictures with them. Make sure to follow the instructions on approaching them from the front and being gentle and respectful. Definitely make a reservation in advance. And don't forget to stop by the gift shop to bring home a fluffy friend made of alpaca wool!

    So much fun! We had 33 people on our 1hr tour. We visited the female alpacas first, they are such gentle animals, got to pet, hug & feed them. We even got to pet & feed 2 baby alpacas. Next we visited & fed the male alpacas & llamas. Lastly we fed other rescue animals: Filipino water buffalo, goat, sheep, etc. It was a great experience for all ages, I highly recommend it, just make sure to book online ahead of time, it's reservations only. They also have a gift shop with alpaca hats, scarves, gloves, socks, blankets, toys, etc.

    Our first time in SB ft our first activity!

    It was our very first time visiting SB bound, and our first stop was here at, Canzelle Alpacas-- it was a my husband's birthday, so I decided to surprise our fam with our little getaway trip I thought it would be a lovely experience to pet some furry friends, and they were probably the most adorable little thing ever. We enjoyed and loved every minute of this tour. The hostess was very nice and welcoming. Thank you for the memorable time

    The alpacas and llamas are living the best life here! They are so well loved and the staff are great at taking care for them. We booked the sunset tour started at 4 pm. The photos came out so great. Thank you Karen for helping us taking the photos and sharing many amazing insights about the herd and the farm. We got to meet the owner of the farm, she's really sweet and great to talk to. Thank you Tara and Humberto for making our trip memorable! Highly recommend the farm tour to meet these cute and sweets alpacas for hugs and kisses.

    Absolutely amazing!!! Great place, beautiful animals , beautiful people who take care of them . Will come back

    Visited the farm on a Saturday afternoon. The staff Liz and Umberto were so welcoming and kind. The tour lasted an hour and that included petting the alpacas, feeding them and taking pictures. It was such a wonderful experience! I highly recommend it to anybody who loves alpacas !

    Was looking for stuffs to do in Santa Barbara and this place popped up on Yelp and my kid was interested in checking it out and good that I checked their website before booking our hotel bc I found out they only open Friday to Sunday limited time with online reservations. We adjusted our vacation to stop by here...the online reservation was easy and you will get your tickets and confirmation after paying. The tour was not cheap, but it's a fun event and great memories with your family. The staff here were also friendly and informative. The tour lasted about an hour long and they also have a little gift shop to check out. It's such a fun and unique experience near Santa Barbara.

    so many alpacas & llamas here!! & so many more beautiful animals!! we learned so much about the history of how this place came to be & the backstory & all the different animals here! the owner even stopped by to talk more about how she came to have this beautiful place!! we were initially warned that some of them can get mean & spit or even kick so we were so wary and distant at first, but then our guide taught us that we can leave carrots in our mouths to feed them and kiss them & they were so gentle!! i had such an amazing time here & would definitely recommend this activity to everyone!!

    Such a wonderful day from start to finish! The alpacas are delightful--curious, gentle, and clearly well cared for--and the people are just as lovely. You can feel how much heart goes into this place. Absolutely worth a visit.

    I love Sweet Wheels Farm Stand in Summerland. They have been my go to stop every time I'm in town…read moreand I love that they've now found their outdoor storefront to be nestled appropriately between two businesses. They are a cute / covered awning outdoor market - aka food stand. Currently they are open 7 days a week so you have the opportunity to shop their home made bakery good, produce and canned goods. They also have flowers which you can buy by the stem to make your own personal arrangements. Sweet Wheel Farm itself is closed to the public so this is the best way to support them and to get their local goods. You can check out their website for more information about their farming and how they give back to the community. They are simply amazing and after talking to the owner Leslie upon one of my quick shopping trips to her market I felt so empowered by the great work her and her team are doing, also grateful as I learned so many fabulous tidbits from her. Back to the farm stand. I adore them and their selection. They always have the most gorgeous veggies and fruits. What I will admit though is I'm a sucker for their bakery goods and fresh baked breads. Every time I come I have to buy a huge loaf of their olive bread - transports me to Italy or Spain everytime I eat it. Definitely my favorite item them sell here. Recently though I tried their apple muffins and brown butter chocolate chip cookies. Both were great but the cookies were fabulous! I need to leave with more next time because they were devoured by the family within hours. When in Summerland you must support this local farm stand and take some time to learn more about their farming and the amazing work they are doing for our community and food sensitive population. 5/5 stars all day long and I'll be back soon. Promise!

    This place is amazing and super cute! A local farmers market stand located in Summerland. They…read morehave many fresh fruits, veggies, and flowers to choose from. Everyone is super nice and friendly. There is plenty of parking on the main road.
