    Goat and lamb feeding.
    Tanaire M.

    Went with my 2.5 year old. She absolutely loved it! Had the most fun. It's a family small farm, animals are very friendly and the pony rides are the best. Parking is right in the middle of horse back riding and the petting zoo. There were lambs, goats, pigs, baby cows, ducks and of course horses. My daughter loved the pony ride.

    This family own business was worth the smiles I received for my grand children birthday. PATCH 22 was very respectful and helped in anyway they could with helping children on and off the ponies. I really appreciate the fact that the owner called with availability and it meet the times I needed for my event. I would definitely use them again. Thank you Patch 22 for sharing your business with my family. I look forward in coming to your location for the pumpkin patch.

    We hired patch 22 for pony rides at our house bbq party in Morton Grove. We had 2 ponies and all the kids were super excited. The crew was extremely friendly and did a great job with everything from arriving on time and cleaning up thru out plus being awesome with all the kids. It really put our party over the top!

    This is a free admission petting zoo with pony rides (also free) open in the summer on Sunday's only from 10am-4pm and it is soooooo worth checking out. You can bring quarters to get feed for the pigs, goats, and sheep. There are tons of baby animals that are super cute and all of them are friendly so they let you pet them and not worry about getting bit! It is a fairly small place but since it was free, I'm not complaining! Not many workers lingering around so if there are any questions or issues it may be hard to get answers. I as very impressed with this facility and cannot believe we could have so much fun for free! We ended up staying for a good hour walking around going back and forth from animal to animal. There is even a very friendly cow, lots of horse, alpaca, and bunnies! I can't wait to go back many times this summer! They also have fresh eggs for sale $5 for a dozen. You can rent the barn they have set up with a bar and everything, check out there website for more information on that. It was very easy to get to, right off of highway 41, on Kelly road. Not a ton of parking but people don't tend to spend a ton of time here so it was not hard to find a spot. Truly can't say enough great things about our visit today!

    See all

Opened in the 1800s, Lincoln Park Zoo is filled with historical buildings, statues, and displays on the animals that have inhabited over the years. Here, you'll find lions, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, birds, sea lions, and more. There are many educational displays as well as a cafe and a gift shop. The surrounding Lincoln Park is also nice and you can easily spend a full day here.

    Safari Lake Geneva

    My friends and I surprised one of our friends with a trip to Safari Lake Geneva to kick off her…read morebachelorette weekend, and we all ended up having a great time. None of us had ever done a drive through safari before, so it felt like a really unique and memorable activity. When we first arrived, it was a little confusing figuring out exactly where to go to start the drive-through experience. The signage could have been clearer. Thankfully, we visited near the end of their open season and at a slower time of day, so the entrance area was not crowded and we were able to take our time getting started. One thing to be aware of is that the driving trail has a lot of potholes and uneven spots, so you definitely need to drive slowly and carefully. Some sections of the path are pretty bumpy, especially if you are not expecting it. We decided not to buy the animal feed because at the beginning, we were a little nervous about opening our windows, and also did not want food all over the car. Even without feeding them, we still got very close to a lot of animals and were able to pet them through our open windows when we felt comfortable doing so. Throughout the drive, you see animals like deer, camels, llamas, alpacas, bison, antelope, and tons of ostriches and emus. There were also a couple of giraffes and zebras toward the end. The ostriches were definitely the most aggressive and curious. They walked right up to the cars and pecked at windows, which had us laughing and slightly panicking at the same time. We also noticed there was animal spit all over the outside of the car from all of the animals trying to get food from us, despite us not having any. There are not a huge number of different species, and you will see some of the same animals many times along the route, but it was still fun to take pictures and watch how the animals interacted with the cars. Admittedly, I felt bad for the animals because I feel like it could be easy for a car to accidentally run them over. Some animals took a long time to move out of the car's way, and because the safari is just one big open field where the animals can freely roam around, the animals come out of nowhere sometimes. Once the driving part was over, we looked at the other parts of the safari where you could walk around. We saw pigs, little monkeys, donkeys, and more! I love how interactive the experience is and how you can't pet animals at a zoo, but you can here. Pricewise, it wasn't crazy and ended up being about $23 per person because they don't charge per vehicle; they charge per person. Overall, this was a really fun and unique experience that made for a great start to our friend's bachelorette weekend. It is definitely something different to do if you are in the Lake Geneva area, but just be prepared for a bumpy drive and some very curious animals.

My only concern was avoiding the horns from scratching the car! The only thing t improve this would be if there were signs up at least saying what sort of animals you may encounter in certain areas. There were several that we were like, what is that?! It was in the 90's when we went so we did the car ride only, not the walking area. So fun!

    This review is for the Glow Wild exhibit this spring…read more I HIGHLY recommend checking this exhibit out before it's gone. It went ABOVE and BEYOND expectations. This wasn't just a few installations they had dozens all over the park! They were divided into categories like sea animals and African animals, fantasy creatures, etc. simply amazing. We went on an April evening and the weather was perfect. They have snacks available, special glow cups and free rides on the Ferris wheel and carousel. It wasn't over crowded either. Many of the main animal exhibits are closed for the evening but the main event are the glowing anima sculptures which are pure magic. It gave off Paris vibes. This goes for a few more weeks into May. Don't miss it!

    This review is specifically for the holiday zoolights…read more My partner and I took our 2.5 and 4.5 old boys for some festival activities. We went for the zoolights the weekend after Christmas because it was a relatively warmer evening. I have been to the "Brookfield Zoo" a few times before, so I was familiar with the layout for the most part. I found a promo code "COCOA" to save $5 per ticket for admission. However, I really did think they were quite pricy for non-members. Of course, I also reserved a parking pass online as well in advance. Many of the lights were interactive and photo-friendly. My kids running inside the light maze for several times. The maze was nothing complicated, but it was enough to entertain these young kids and their families. My older one enjoyed the "tic tac toe" light setup since he often asked us to play with on his tablet. Patrons were courteous and no one seemed to occupy the entire station and everyone took the turn to try it out. Their main restaurant was open and were busy when we walked in around 5pm. Nevertheless, we were able to find a table without much effort. There were some indoor exhibits open during the zoolight hours, such as the dolphins and some other sea creatures, just in case we wanted to take a break from walking outdoor for an extended period of time. Parking spot wasn't hard to find, yet my suggestion would be to remember what section you have parked because one could easily get lost if not paying attention. Oveeall, the "Brookfield Zoo" zoolights cater more toward the younger generation. We may consider coming back for another year or two.
