Although it is fun, it is hard to wrestle the bucket back when you're trying to drive on to the next animals. These animal are big and they know that if your car window is up, they will walk on. If your window is down, they will stick their entire head in the window. They have over 500 animals including zebras, giraffes, buffalo, deer, pigs, llamas, and even have the very cute Scotch Highland cattle. The drive through part is not short and you have to drive slow because of the animals. It is worth the money. Fair warning, your car will get dirty. There is a farmhouse on the premises where they sell some desserts. We went during the fall and they had a small pumpkin patch and a stack of hay bales to climb on. We also had a nice little meal from their food tent. We will be back!

Fun for kids and adults!…read more We opted for the wagon ride through the animal feeding area. We were lucky to visit on a beautiful day. The ride starts at a barn and they lead you through the animal area. Plenty of food is given to feed the animals. You make stops along the way to feed the animals from the wagon. Afterwards you can tour an Amish house, barns and other areas of the farm. Inside the house you get a delicious cookie. Educational and fun to explore. Lots of animals to see as well. They have a playground and picnic area as well. So bring some food and spend the day.

The grocery store was a great stop for snacks. They had some delicious pies. At least the cheese and blackberries one I had was delicious. And since the crust is great, I would imagine they were solid choices. They had a nice selection of Amish popcorn and maple treats too. The gift shop is large and has a good selection of items. The yard decor and patio furniture were all fairly impressive. Some things were even Buckeyes themed! The leather goods were the other highlight. I thought the rucksacks were great and had me wishing I could take a hobbit adventure But, the highlight for my sister was a real/ nice belt that she is excited about. My highlight was the pecan turtle I had for dessert. It's a great spot in Amish country and the service was very pleasant.

We had expected to maybe pet a few alpacas, and feed some goats, but we got to go into the pens with alpacas, goats, mini pigs, mini horses and donkeys, KANGAROOS, and a wallaby. There's a free ranging tortoise, and a rather cranky camel as well. All of the animals are super social, and came right up to us for pets, even if we didn't have any food. There are add-on private encounters, but my friend wasn't interested in those, so we just did the tour, and got plenty of dopamine from that!

This is a hobby-esque farm in a smaller town in Ohio. I know one of the biggest complaints about…read morehobby/pay-for-viewing farms is that they aren't enriching for the animals. I do not know enough about animal welfare (and what they need, when enclosed) to note anything about animal welfare, so I won't. I will say that there were a ton of attendants around, and the animals seemed active and with full coats of healthy-looking fur and feathers though. NOTES: -It's definitely outside. Most of the places you'll hang out are somewhat covered for shade/rain purposes. -It's much, much more casual than most zoos I've been in. While you can't necessarily go riding a camel, if the camel comes up to you (and doesn't eat your hat), they're very touchable. -Because this farm is so casual, it's really not a good fit for kids who don't listen. They are animals, and they can peck back if your kid is doing something that annoys them. -Most pathways are mud/gravel. Plan footwear or any accessibility access accordingly. -Most employees we encountered were definitely still in high school. -No big "backstory on the animal" signage anywhere. If you're pulling in kids, you might want to open up articles to answer any questions. OTTER ENCOUNTER: We came for the otter encounter, and I would pay for it again in a heartbeat. It was a private experience, just for the ticket attendees. We sat on the ground (on cushions), and the otters were allowed to run around us. The otters seemed pretty happy about it. They, essentially, treated us like fun new playground furniture, and they crawled pretty much anywhere they wanted. Our guide, Samyra, was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the otters, and it's clear she loved them. They were pop around her legs and jump into her lap and squeak, and as soon as she moved, they'd follow her around. She was super friendly and definitely the most engaged/friendly employee we met that day. I wouldn't wear low-cut tops or anything that an otter can "flop" into and accidentally expose parts of you. The otters, again, treat you like playground furniture, and if they can burrow into it, they will. They were trying to get into the waistbands of jeans, and crawled onto the shoulders and down the backsides of shirts and dresses. They like playing with hair. The instructions state to tie up hair, but I don't think they would have gotten tangled in it. They just seem to like nibbling. They do have little claws, and they do bite. They don't seem like malicious or violent bites. I'd liken it to a cat love bite. I think they just like biting things. The bites are definitely a surprise ouch, but they don't break skin, and you don't really notice them after they happen. They will give little bites, though, even while seemingly happy. For example, one crawled into a pant leg, and I tried to raise the leg to see him, and he gave a little bite because he wanted to be left in the darkness. Another time, one just launched himself across the room into my lap, nipped a finger, then hopped out and kept running. Just something to note if you have little kids around. You sit on your cushions, and the otters run free around you. You can pet them as they run by, but you're not allowed to force them to stay or hold them. They will just plop into your laps, though, throughout the experience. If you've ever played with ferrets, they act like rambunctious water ferrets. They might be able to add a chair if sitting on the ground is difficult, but the otters may not interact with you as much. You stay seated on your cushions throughout the half-hour experience, and the employee gives you little otter toys and treats to attract them to you. I gotta be honest: our otters ignored all of the treats and toys and just wanted to climb around us instead. You really have to plan ahead for any of their close-up animal encounters. I'd probably guess this is their bread-and-butter for funding the place. Appointments book up like 4 months in advance, and there is no rescheduling. (There is a partial credit refund, but you'll need to stalk out another 4-month-out-date.) A lot of the animal enclosures are very cement-heavy. They aren't much to look at, and I do have some concerns there, even with no knowledge of keeping animals.

BIRTHDAY PARTY -- We were all placed in a corner of the farm were there were long tables and bench stools. There were about a total of 25 of us for the party. My friend organised fun games for us to play and brought in food for lunch plus her birthday cake. We all had a blast. SUNFLOWERS -- A mason jar could be purchased at the entrance of the flower field but I didn't buy a mason jar. I just used my hands to hold the flowers as I picked them. FOOD -- The farm sells food and drinks but I didn't look at any of the offerings since my friend brought her own food for her birthday party. I believe they have typical fast food such as burgers and fries. This is a great family-friendly farm to visit in Wooster. I saw a-lot of kids running around and having a good time.

Everything like traditional cheddar and swiss to more unique options like veggie, and buffalo wing. Most of the cheese had samples. It was a perfect way to get a sense of the differences between some of the varieties (standard vs smoked vs aged for example). Most cheese could be purchased in blocks, slices and cubes. They also had some beef stick options, dips and cheese fudge. I had never heard of cheese fudge before so was very intrigued. It had a different texture and flavor than traditional fudge but was definitely worth trying. They also have traditional fudge on the other side of the store. There were workers behind the counter actively packing cheese and willing to answer any questions you might have. Much like other tourist attractions, you have to walk through the gift shop to get to the cash registers. The line was kind of long, but it moved fairly quickly. This was a great stop with a lot of tasty products. Definitely recommend a visit!
