    The Llama!
    Jodi P.

    This place is Amazing!! We did the Safari Adventure Drive through. It was well mapped out so we knew where to go. The rules were easily understandable. We fed several Llama, deer, cattle, highland Cows and Bison. We drove through the Bears which was really cool! We visited the Zebras and Giraffe! Semi pricey but not horrible as it's well worth it. The food buckets for the animals costs separate but yup, still worth it! The staff are very friendly and willing to answer questions. The entire park is welcoming and clean! Will be returning for sure!

    Too far away to feed.

    We did the drive through version and couldn't stop laughing. The animals have their routine down, which includes purposefully blocking your car (alpacas) or diving right into the car (camels, ostriches, cows). If you want to get super close to some hungry animals, this is the place. Just be prepared to clean drool and pellets out of your car after.

    What a super cool place! Wasn't expecting to stay 5 hours or enjoy it as much as we did. We only did the walk through, but it was plenty. You are able to walk right up to animals and feed or pet. Kids absolutely loved not only the animals but the play areas. You could truly let your kids play for a couple hours and they wouldn't get bored. Cool underground tunnels (bring a flashlight. They sell them but just bring your own), and big slides. Also want to add that the entire place was clean. Like exceptionally clean. The animals all appear to be happy and well taken care of. The staff was also helpful in answering questions about the animals (Thanks Aden:). We will be back again and I would highly recommend to others.

    Hands down the best adventure we went on while visiting Michigan for a summer with our four-year-old daughter. It's an adventure park with animals to feed, massive playgrounds with underground tunnels, a Western town built for kids and an ice cream shop. It's a paradise. Here's why you should go: 1) Amenities: It's $12 per person (kids under two are free), but considering you could spend all day (they are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the summer), it's worth every dollar. They have two large playgrounds with tunnels, slides, ropes, etc. to play on. They have multiple areas where you can feed animals from cows to goats to camels. There's a Western town set up for kids with baby goats roaming free. Kids can hold bunnies, guinea pigs, etc. There's a store with a few toys at reasonable prices and an ice cream shop. Kids LOVE this place. 2) Staff: They are very friendly, helpful and keep visitors and animals safe. If you need anything, it's easy to find a staff member to help. 3) Cleanliness: Considering how many kids and animals roam the park, they do a great job of keeping it clean. 4) Location: It's 30 minutes outside of Grand Rapids, not too long of a drive for kids. Pro-tip: If you're on a budget, park in the lot and play on the playground outside of the entrance. It's free and with underground tunnels, it keeps kids entertained for awhile.

    For Memorial Day weekend, my family and I went to Deer Tracks to look at the animals and enjoy the warmer weather. They promptly opened at 10, and while the front said we needed masks to enter, many employees and patrons weren't wearing masks. The line to purchase tickets moved fairly swift and the kids just wandered the lobby and looked at the various taxidermy on the walls. They have significantly expanded since last summer and there were so many animals to see! Birds, cows, goats, alpacas, camels, donkeys, bears and so much more. Even with COVID, people were really respectful of the space while outside (and you can only control young kids for being 6ft apart a little bit at a time). The staff were friendly and helpful if needed but the park had a lot of space that allowed you to stay away from others. You can purchase food to feed the different animals and were allowed to pet almost all of them. It's a great spot that you can enjoy animals and outdoors and even grab some ice cream as a treat after! It's a fun spot and highly recommend visiting. Only knocked a star based on mask signage and not enforcing it even though CDC guidance states vaccinated individuals don't need masks. It would be good to enforce it as appropriate.

    What a great way to spend an afternoon feeding goats camels and pigs and snuggling baby bunnies. I took my great niece here and we bought food to feed the animals and it was so fun. The baby goats walk around and you can hold them or they may try to escape with you. There are several play areas for the kids to enjoy. Her favorite was holding the baby bunnies. They are so tiny and cute They have food also to enjoy. It's a fantastic place for the whole family.

    So many animals to see here! Both my lil toddlers and elderly in-laws had fun. I'm sad the ice cream shop was closed but we still had fun. Some favorites of mine were the bunny house and the bears to see. Great place for the whole family!

    We love Deer Tracks Junction! I'm pretty hesitant about visiting animal places because I don't love the smell, but Deer Tracks is the cleanest animal place I've visited. The workers are always working hard to keep it clean. We also love that almost every time we visit there is something new to see. This year we loved the baby goats, bears, guinea pigs, and the baby bunnies. We also love visiting Sandman, the camel. They sell food cups to purchase for animal feedings. We also purchased a calf feeding time, which my son loved. (I think it was $5.) He fed one of the calves a bottle. In addition to the animals, the play areas are amazing! Pack some flashlights or head lamps for the tunnels. My son can play there for a long time. We always end our visit with some of their delicious ice cream.

    It is tradition that after we pick the kids from a week at Camp Concordia we make Deer Tracks Junction our very next stop. I honestly think they look as forward to this as they do to camp itself. For the price of a couple of ice cream cones we are thoroughly entertained. While I know it only gets bigger and better beyond the glass doors leading to the paid portion, I've found that the outside playground attractions and the inside taxidermy exhibits provide more than enough fun for our family. Someday we will come and see the petting zoo and deer but honestly the free attractions alone are enough to rate this place 5 stars in my book.

    Big guy, kinda scary but wasn't so bad when we got to him

    I would 100% recommend this place to anyone! The staff are super friendly and helpful. I was impressed with how clean it is and truly feel the animals are all very well cared for. We purchased the safari pass and the petting zoo side, makes sense for both. It was super fun getting to feed the animals on the safari and petting the little ones on the zoo side. Will definitely be visiting again!
