Fours years ago we visited this zoo. It seemed to be going through renovations at the time, so we…read moreoverlooked the rough edges. Fast-forward to today. Those weren't rough edges. The "zoo" has gone downhill since our last visit. Less animals than before and not much worth the cost of admission. Even the employees seem unhappy. The visit to the website was the best part of the experience, if that tells you anything. Zoo standards must be awful low. Don't go with high expectations and you're assured to not get let down as much. On the positive side, the porta-potty in the middle of the zoo was decently clean. Two hours and $82 later and we now know we won't be back. We'll just go a little further south to the Toledo Zoo next time.

WOW! This place is SO AWESOME. I took my gf here for her birthday to do the sloth encounter and…read morewander the zoo, it was both our first time here and it was FANTASTIC. Since we were there on a Thursday and in winter we literally were the only guests in the zoo which was pretty special. First the zoo overall is smaller then places like the Detroit or Toledo zoo but they make up for that with all the awesome and more personal things you can do. When we arrived the lady at the desk was extremely friendly, and explained everything to us we needed to know about our booked sloth encounter. I also purchased a bucket of carrots to feed the animals throughout the zoo itself - it was CHEAP $7 and $5 refills but the amount of carrots were spilling out so we only needed 1. The employee explained you could feed Carrots to the animals that had a smiley face sign on their enclosure which was extremely helpful. The animals you can feed in the zoo itself are camels, deer, goats and alpaca which were SO adorable. Since it is winter they do not have all of their animals out like the giraffes and monkeys but honestly it still overall felt worth the money of admission despite this. Secondly- the Sloth encounter was literally one of the best experiences I've ever had with an animal encounter. Our "guide" I think his name was Alan...was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He knew A LOT about each sloth there, told us funny stories about them and knew a lot of extremely interesting sloth facts. On the booking for the encounter it stated that the experience lasts 30 minutes but because Alan was so awesome we were with the sloths for almost an hour. We were able to feed 3 different sloths (they gave you a cup with apples/cucumbers/strawberries/grapes). We were able to go inside one of the sloths enclosures and pet one that was sleeping as well (THEY'RE SO SOFT!) Overall our experience was wonderful. Despite what some reviews say, I personally could see all animals are very well cared for and they have very spacious enclosures. Some of the smaller enclosures also have holes so the animal can choose to come outside or go back inside which I really loved seeing that they have a choice. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend the zoo overall AND if you can swing it the sloth encounter.

I visited this pumpkin patch h last year and had a really good time…read more We visited this year fairly early and there weren't huge crowds at all. I really like this pumpkin patch as they have tons of things to do for the kiddos. You purchase tickets and then each ride/experience has different ticket prices. The bay ride is the best bang for your buck as you get a hay ride, you pick a pumpkin, donut and a small bag of popcorn. The only disclaimer is that this family is very rooted in their faith. Everyone is extremely nice and loves to spread their faith. Great place to bring all the kiddos. Also, the best apple cider slushy I've ever had!

As many times as I had driven past Domino's along Route 23, I never knew there was a petting farm nestled back in there! Very well kept, animals' pens were clean, animals all looked very healthy and well cared for. The grounds were also well maintained. Sheep, horses, goats, rabbits, chickens, peacock, donkey, alpaca, geese, etc. In various pens inside and outside of the barns. Animals outside of the buildings also had coverage areas built for them. An aged stationary tractor is on display for children to climb up onto the seat and play "Farmer John" for a while. There was also a playground area as well as an oversized doll house for children to experience. A poll barn is used as a gathering center for birthday parties, etc. Great idea for children to go and experience farm animals up close and personal. Fun afternoon.

Wide selection of autumn decor items including beautiful mums in planters and pots. Although I haven't been to many agritourism events like this for several years, I was impressed with the organization and scale of the Stevens' operation -- big enough to have something for everyone, but not so big that you felt overwhelmed by crowds. Also appreciated the welcoming atmosphere. Had a nice conversation with a member of the Stevens family who gave us some history of the event and took our family picture at the end of the hayride. It was worth an hour drive for us.

Was looking for a corn maze to take my son to last weekend Yelp brought me here. Is it a great corn…read moremaze? No. Is it good enough? Yes. It's about your average corn maze and once we got here I quickly realized the corn maze isn't why people are coming here. It's something to do sure, but people are mostly coming here for the donuts and drinks from my observation. First, the food. The drinks looked delicious! I didn't get anything though. We spent $49.40 on food. We ordered pulled pork nachos, the donut fried mozzarella stick, a cup of ice cream, 1 dz asstd donuts, and a bag of caramel apple kettle corn. My son is picky and DEVOURED the fried mozzarella stick! The nachos were ok. Nothing to brag about. The donuts were about the same. I ate a vanilla cake chocolate dipped donut and it was SO sweet! Too sweet. Like sweet to the point I was regretting not having coffee with it. I tried another one today - with coffee - and it was definitely more of a balance. Kettle corn is good. Activities. The corn maze was cool and $6 for the 3 of us. A little too peopley for me at times. The ground is uneven, but overall it was fine. Paid $6 for my son to do the play area. He liked it and mostly played on the tires and slide. The corn pit was anxiety inducing. There was a whole gang of kids crowding the stairs for the twist slide - dumping buckets of corn over the railing. A little too rowdy and unsupervised imo. Service was quick and efficient. They got a pretty good system there. They also have plenty of photo ops! That's one thing that really stood out to me. I'd love to go back when they first open to take advantage of all the photo ops. Perfect for photos to use on Christmas cards.

There were so many animals that we got to see and feed! We didn't get to see the giraffes because it was still quite cold outside, so they need to stay in the warm. After the drive thru they had a really cool walk through part with load of other animals. We got to feed a turtle, goats, coy and even birds! They had tons of feeding experiences and lots of other animal to see. It was a really fun time and great for the kiddo. We will definitely be back!

There are a lot of comments on the staff being friendly and while they were, a lot of them were practically children themselves! Perhaps they were part of the camp they offer? Who knows! The sweetest young lady asked my kiddos if they'd like to pet a rabbit named Mayonnaise and of COURSE we absolutely had to! The wagon rides stopped at 12:30 so we just missed them, which was kind of a bummer since that was one of the perks the youngest kiddo was looking forward to despite the heat. Oh! We had been misinformed via LittleGuideDetroit that there was horseback riding and that in fact, seems to be down the street? In the end, we left with some peacock feathers, fresh goat milk soap and some flavored honey sticks.
