    Peppa
    Anuhea L.

    We came here on a Thursday and was greeted by Uncle Bubu, he was very welcoming and helpful. We had stopped at the local grocery store to pickup some produce as the kids were excited to "feed some animals". The kids were beyond happy with there experience here. I highly recommend this place for families and especially families with young children; pickup some fresh produce for them as well. If you want the best experience; bring whole pineapples and ask to see "Peppa".

    Lawrence Lovestock, located in the Kahaluu area, is a family-owned livestock zoo that is interactive and educational for children AND adults. This is a fairly new petting zoo as this idea came into fruition when they began rehoming as well as rescuing some from being slaughtered. They decided to open their doors of their private menagerie to the public few months ago at the encouragement of their friends and have been successful since then. My daughter-in-law was the one who informed us of this petting zoo, which she was able to get us tickets that also included a light lunch and refreshments. Our tour was led by Denise (the owner) daughter-in-law, Alicia along with her two sons. As we walked around, the owner, Denise shared they are looking to continually improve to make sure their "Lovestock" is taken care, which is obvious because everything is spaced apart and clean! On a side note, they are actually considering Alpacas too! Come and see the different animals. You can touch and feed their animal residents, and view up close. Some of the farm animals you'll see include different type of pigs; lambs; goats; chickens; turkeys; rabbits. Besides visiting with the local farm animal residents, you can relax on their picnic benches under a small tent pavilion, enjoy the scenery of the Koolau Mountains, learn about the family history and their land, and enjoy their light refreshments that also includes fruits that they've grown on their own land. Overall, this is a family-oriented and educational experience you won't soon forget. So come on over for a change of pace away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This is not your typical petting zoo and it is worth the trip! Recommend: Highly

    The incredible view

    The views are stunning and the animals are adorable. Had a great time visiting all of the animals here!! Their talking parrots are very entertaining.

    My son and I visited LAWRENCE LOVEstock on the island of Oahu. They recently opened up their family Farm to visitors that want to have a hands-on experience with animals. Some of the animals are pigs rescued from a slaughterhouse, a bunny with cerebral palsy, and three baby chicks we also saw their beautiful dogs, turkeys, goats, and parrots. reed was sad leaving. He said he likes "blonde chicks" we had so much fun and can't wait to visit again. Thank you!

    Black one's name is Lilikoi and the brown one's name is Strawberry.

    Excellent little family-friendly farm with Loving owners. Animals are also very friendly and healthy. Had my nephews birthday party here. 10 - 10 recommend!

    She always want to have a rabbit as a pet

    My daughter had a wonderful experience at Lawrence lovestock. Denise is so friendly and nice. She explains to us what the animals like to eat, their habits. All the animals here have names and their name tags are on the fence. My daughter feed pigs for her first time. We spent 2 hours there and she loves to go back to this place again. We found this places on Google while I search for top 10 kids activities in Oauh, It a great place for kids who loves animals.

    waited since March to finally visit and I am so happy they finally opened up! the family is welcoming and very kind. our tour guide Alicia shared so much knowledge about the animals. she also talked about the history of the land and how the farm came to be. I would definitely re-visit in the future. great place to take kids to experience the animals. you can tell the amount of hard work that goes into up-keeping the farm. It was a very humbling experience. tips: wear boots and covered bottoms like leggings or jeans. and don't forget to be respectful. after all, you're basically entering someone's home!

    I love coming to Lawrence Lovestock. My granddaughter got to feed Peppa when she was just a piglet and now she's grown so much. I love all the animals they're so well taken care of. If you haven't been there in awhile you should go again to see the new additions and the new animals. I love the changes.

    We loved visiting the turkey, chicken, pigs, goats, ducks, rabbits and the family who takes care of these precious animals!

    We loved visiting such a special place. Our children loved being outdoors and learning about the animals! They especially loved the pigs and rabbits! What a wonderful experience! Mahalo

    This is the perfect place to bring your Keiki. We absolutely fell in love with Alicia, her Ohana, their animals, and the farm. It is so beautiful, with lots positive energy and aloha. Alicia is so kind and really emphasizes all the amazing lessons that children can learn from interacting and taking care of animals. She was so accommodating as well. Words cannot express how highly I recommend bringing your family here.

    My son, his wife and their 2 children and I visited Lawrence Lovestock today, and it was an awesome experience even for this old MiMi from NC who has seen her fair share of livestock growing up on a small farm myself. I was impressed with how much this family cares for their animals, they were clean and well fed, and well loved, I could tell. The Lawrence family were very hospitable and treated us like family, I hope to come back the next time we're in Hawaii

    My father and I had the best time at this family farm. The animals are the cutest and so well maintained. You see the love and dedication that they have for each animal. Can't wait to go again. Besides that it's such a beautiful place in the mountains to relax and enjoy the time with Amazing company. Highly recommended

    Alicia was so incredibly patient with him, let him lead which animal we visited next, and answered all of his questions.

Watching our kids feed the goats was one of those simple moments they'll probably remember for a long time. It's also about as clean as you could reasonably expect for a working goat farm. Yes, it smells like goats, that comes with the territory. If you're expecting a sterile petting zoo, this isn't it. It's a real farm and I actually appreciated that. Where the experience lost me was the hospitality. Maybe we arrived too close to closing, but the staff felt completely disengaged. Nobody was particularly welcoming, nobody seemed excited to talk about the farm or its products and asking simple questions felt like an inconvenience. You drive all the way out here because you're interested in what they're building. A little warmth would go a long way. The other issue was the flies. Again, I understand this is a farm. Flies are part of the environment. But when they're landing around food while ice cream is being scooped, it starts to cross from "that's farm life" into something that feels unpleasant. It was hard not to notice and it definitely took away from the experience. The goat milk ice cream was good, not quite my preference over traditional dairy ice cream, but still worth trying if you're visiting. Feeding the goats was fun, the grounds are beautiful and it's a fantastic stop for families with toddlers. I just wish the customer experience matched the scenery. This place has everything it needs to be unforgettable. A little more hospitality and a little more attention around the food service area would make a huge difference. I'd still recommend visiting but come for the farm, the photos and the goats. Just keep your expectations for the service a little lower.

We allotted enough time to head up to the North Shore and it was easy to find this location thanks to the clear directions in email. I've wanted to learn more about the bees for a long time and what better way than to put on a get a private tour where you get to suit up and get a fab lesson from Katie and team on the ins and outs of the bees working hard at making honey. Our tour was about 2 hours long. We were in awe of how hard the beekeepers and the bees here work. We even got to see another bee robbing another bee on site! And saw how to get the beetles out of there! I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get the right sized suit. And they are super nice about taking photos for you!!! The tour ended with a honey tasting and charcuterie board with mint infused iced water! Then we were off to the gift shop which had all the flavors available for tasting -- we loved the hot honey. This TOUR IS A MUST and it is so easy to schedule through their website as they have so much availability 6 days a week.
