Janet was very professional throughout…read morethe experience and you can tell she actually cares about her animals vs some others who just use them as a business. You can't pick up any of the pets but it's in the best interest of everyone and the pets. She had brushes to brush the goats which made the experience more interactive. It was a very hot day and she had umbrellas, fans, and iced water bottles to keep the pets cool. She promptly cleaned up any potty the animals had. She was also friendly and engaged with the children and adults, educating us about the pets. She did a great job cleaning up after she was done so there was nothing I had to worry about. Her price is very reasonable and I would definitely use her again in the future!

Very knowledgeable, a true GEM of the zoo!

They have a nice variety that includes birds, reptiles, monkeys, and more. There's a lot of information available about all the animals. They have a small petting zoo area. There is also train ride and merry go round for the little ones, although that's an added cost I believe. Some of my favorite sightings were the binturong and the ocelot. It was also fun watching the anteaters and the camels. It's great zoo to go to without having to spend a ton or travel far.

We went opening weekend on a Saturday and were able to find parking inside within walking distance. Parking was $5. Later in October, parking can get much harder to find. Admission is free, and it's a nice place to walk around with younger kids. There's also a playground, bike rentals, and the OC Zoo nearby, which is only $2 admission. The food is probably a 2/5 for me. It's pricey for what you get, and there aren't many other options once you're inside, so I recommend bringing your own food or eating beforehand. Also, sign up for their newsletter. They sometimes send good deals, including buy one get one free train tickets and promotions like a free $10 pumpkin credit. Go early in the season before the big October crowds.

Tourist trap The…read moretrain station, area and train itself is well decorated. The ride is smooth and the employees were friendly. The price for one loop was expensive and only lasted a few minutes. It may be a good one-time visit for toddlers and small children but not worth going again. The young one did not like the ride as much as the pony ride. She found the train announcer/tour guide to talk too much and not allow kids to enjoy the views.

We were limited in space with the bounce house, seating for 60, adopt an animal balloon farm and all the food and beverages. But they made it work!

They had stuff to wash your hands after the petting and made sure both the kids and the animals were safe. It was a great experience and very affordable. I would definitely book with them again!

The flowers are so beautiful and the field is huge with lots of different flowers to choose from. There is a sunflower field next to the colorful that you can pick as well. The lavender garden is on the opposite side of the farm with there different lavenders to choose from. To get to the strawberry field there is a tractor ride that takes you there and back. The field is super big with lots of delicious and super sweet strawberries. We were given 15 minutes to pick as much strawberries as we can as long as the container is able to close fully. There is an area with lot of different animals in the center of the farm which you can look at. It was really sunny and hot when we went and there's very little shade to hide away from the sun. I was very glad that I brought an umbrella with me.
