Goats, cows, horses, ducks,chickens, tortoises, bunnies, guinea pigs, cows, llamas, pigs, and I'm sure I missed some! We were able to pick up the chicks which was so sweet- my daughter had a heard time leaving those sweet chicks . I like that they have hay bales to climb onto, a corn play area for smaller visitors, and even inflatable animals for smaller kids to bounce on, it's a well rounded place to visit and enjoy! Bathrooms are clean and they do have food and beverage for purchase there. Highly recommend checking them out if you're an animal lover!

The admission fee is just 5 bucks per person, which is really reasonable! You can also buy feed for the animals for the same price. There are lots of different animals to see and feed on the farm, like cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and pigs. Plus, they have pony rides for kids. The Farm is really clean, well-organized, and a great way to spend a weekend with family. Plus, it's perfect for birthday parties for kids!

I loved the infant and toddler area until there were so many school aged children it became unsafe for my toddler. The staff are great about getting older kids out when it isn't busy, but after that it's a free for all. I don't care if the older kids are jumping in the ball pit but they could really hurt another baby. It was very clean and well stocked with fun things for kids to do.

If not for that, I definitely would've wandered the whole mall looking for it. Whew ! Let's start with the good: * The place is very clean a big plus. * You're required to remove your shoes before entering the play area (baskets are provided), and socks are mandatory (grip or no grip, doesn't matter). * A waiver must be signed before entry. * It's $20 per child, which includes admission for two adults. * There's a cute little area for babies and toddlers, complete with a huge ball pit that's nicely separated from the big kid zone. Now for the not-so-great: Having a teenager , I've been to almost every play place in the Tampa Bay Area , and I've never felt this overwhelmed. The number of kids and adults crammed into one space was intense , we're talking about maybe a foot of walking space throughout the entire area. We came on a Sunday afternoon for a party, and the party tables were all in one shared space, side by side, with no private rooms or separation. It was so loud I couldn't hear myself think, let alone have a conversation with other parents. The play structure itself is like a giant jungle gym with three different slides and even a hidden car play area (costs extra) but it is not safe for toddlers to go in alone. It's understaffed, with no staff supervising the play areas, which is a big red flag. Kids were bumping cars into other kids . Any small child like mine could have gotten off and been pinned by moving cars , kids would run out of tokens and stay seated in the car while there was a long line. Parents had to step in to keep things moving along . And that big pink slide other reviewers have mentioned? I believe every word. Watching kids go down it gave me anxiety . it's way too steep, and I saw several kids flip or tumble off the end. Kids pushing other kids off the slide . Def need parent supervision or a staff to supervise that area . I also witnessed multiple kids fall straight through the round webbed climbing area, dropping 3-4 levels. No staff, no one helping just chaos. If you're not flexible, or if you're claustrophobic, you're going to struggle navigating the jungle gym to keep track of your child. Honestly, I think I'll stick to good old outdoor playgrounds and walks with my little one. This place might be fun for some, but it's not for the faint of heart.

I will definitely spread the word over in St Pete! Oh, and it's clean!!!

You can take care of the waiver online beforehand so it speeds up your check in process. They have so many animals to see and feed. There are pony rides, a train ride, petting zoo, playgrounds, a small play town, etc. The train ride is adorable and my child loves it. There is so much to do and see. I do think some of the trampolines and playgrounds should be retired as they were falling apart and seemed unsafe. When leaving I got stuck in the parking lot for 20 minutes as it is very tight- one lane but cars coming in and going out are using the same lane. It became such a mess that eventually an employee came out, apologized, and helped me get out.

The playground is completely gated in which gives peace of mind when you have more than one toddler to keep an eye on. So many different shady spots whether it's because of the trees or canopies or coveted playgrounds. My 4month old was in her car seat the whole time so I just switched her from one shady spot to another as the older two played. So many different things to play, climb and interact it. Plenty of benches / seating area for adults to sit at. I didn't need to use the bathroom but it is right in the playground which is also helpful. Will 100% be going back.

I highly recommend a visit!!

I learned that this place isn't busy during the day on spring break…read more We started our day at the children's museum, which was insanely packed. After lunch, my son really wanted to come here, so we took him. I usually end up spending about $50 per kid for arcade games and that lasts them about an hour. My kids do run through money really quickly with arcade games because there is one game that they are just trying to rack up as many points as possible for prizes. I was so surprised by how few people were here at 1:30 on a Tuesday during spring break. It wasn't busy at all. I'm guessing this is not where families with younger children think to come, but being that my son loves this place so much it was a great idea. He does get around 2000 to 3000 points which then gets him some pretty cool toys. This time he walked away with a remote control helicopter, a sticky hand, and a foam glider. Just enough prizes that will keep him occupied now at home. This will continue to be a place that my son enjoys, and even though it is loud and there's tons of bright lights, it is a fun overall experience for the family since we aren't there for a ton of time.

From arcade games , go karts and laser tag to axe throwing and great food and adult beverages ! I booked this for a team event for my office and everyone said they enjoyed every moment.

My only complaint was the way the food was set up on a long table area which was so loud we really weren't able to talk and eat and exchange our raffle winners. The indoor space is massive and two stories so perfect for even sports teams and large birthday parties. Check out their locations online as there seems to be a few throughout Florida.

There is also a small stage near the big open field so it would be a good location for concerts. The park is on county land adjacent to a water treatment plant, which supplies the pond with reclaimed water. What a great use of space! I will bet most people wouldn't notice that but I work for another local government so I notice those things. Lots of people were out enjoying the nice weather. People with their kids in the kids area, people with their pets in the pet atea and people like me shopping for plants. They also had some food trucks out and staff/volunteers directing traffic and keeping things nice. Again, great venue for a festival in the heart of Carrollwood Village.

There is a vast area of netting that connects kids to many areas of Sesame Street Safari of Fun including Elmo's Treehouse Trek, the Count's Zambezi Rally, and more! Infants are not permitted and adults must be accompanied by a child. Yes it sounds backwards but it is their policy so that the area is mostly occupied by kids. This attraction's Sesame Street mascot is the Cookie Monster, who is a blue furry monster with googly eyes and an insatiable appetite. Cookie Monster's primary craving is cookies, but he can and often does consume anything and everything, from apples and pie to letters, flatware, and hubcaps. When Cookie Monster eats something, he makes a very distinct, loud munching "noise", often interpreted as "OMM-nom-nom-nom..." & says "Me want cookie!" Instead of "I want a cookie". After winning a game show contest, Cookie Monster comically choose 1 cookie over an array of luxurious much more valuable and better prizes.
