    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!

You can just walk in and explore at your own pace without worrying about tickets or time pressure. The zoo itself is beautifully laid out inside Lincoln Park and it feels more like a peaceful nature escape than a typical crowded attraction. There's a variety of animals to see without it feeling overwhelming. I liked how walkable everything is and you can easily spend a few hours just wandering between exhibits, gardens, and just enjoying the views. It's a great spot whether you're going solo, with friends, or on a casual date. Everything feels relaxed, clean, and well-maintained.

We didn't even see everything because the place is huge and there was so much to do and see. We will definitely be back soon because one evening just wasn't enough. Such a fun night and a great reminder that you're never too old for cotton candy!

We purchased a zoo pass in June when our son just turned one, and every visit since has felt like a little adventure. It has quickly become one of our favorite places to spend time together as a family. My son LOVES Happy the hippo! We also enjoy catching the animals in action talks and feedings (specifically the big cats). And the zoo train is always a highlight! I highly recommend purchasing a zoo pass,as it truly pays for itself and makes it easy to stop by, even for short visits. The Milwaukee County Zoo has given my little family so many great memories this year and we absolutely recommend it to other families, especially those with young children.

    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!

It was…read moresuper hot and all of the indoor exhibits were super muggy I'm sure to remain temperament for the animals but it left for little places to go to break up the insane heat. The bathrooms were cleaner than most so we were super grateful for that! We loved that there were so many animals actually in their exhibits unlike other zoos we've been to. The animals were actually rolling around and running around playing so my son loved seeing them. The food is super expensive, and any souvenirs were even crazier. We wanted ice cream but various places had their machines not working, for the amount of kids and the heat it was a let down but we appreciated the zoo for being so clean and shady. Parking is $17 in the north lot and $20 in the south. There were tons of busses but still ample parking. Overall a great visit. Be sure to check your local libraries for museum and zoo passes!

    We love Brookfield Zoo, we've been members for years…read more The zoo is enormous, and has many great animals. My favorite section is Tropic World. It's amazing in there, and there are many cool animals. I like to look for the sloths, ant eater, different types of primates, organutangs, gibbons, and otters. The new outdoor section is incredible! They have many great animals. The downside is the zoo is very spread out and it's a lot of walking. With kids you really have to decide which half of the zoo you're going to see that day. We usually choose the side with the big cats, which is cool because the big cats are great. I especially love the clouded leopards and the leopards. But then we don't get to see the bears or penguins or giraffes because they're far away. The ferris wheel is a fun addition. The food at the zoo is okay.

We bought two adult day passes, one for me and one for our daughter. At first I thought the cost was too high since it has been at least 20 years since I had been to the park, but after spending the day there - I now think it was worth every penny. The park has been cleaned, new paint, new rides and it was active with visitors which was nice to see. Plus, they have the dry park which is great. They had a very nice patting zoo with all sorts of animals including a parakeet feeding room where you can feed the parakeets as they land on a peanut butter and bird seed feeding stick. They also have a really nice water park that we didn't even get to use since the dry park had so much to do. The food and drunk items were a bit pricey like at all amusement parks, but they do let you bring in two water bottles per person and a snack so that's fair. They also let you get your hand stamped to leave the park and have a lunch at your car from a cooler or you can go to a fast food place if you want to. Parking is free, which is a huge plus. I was also VERY impressed with the friendliness of the staff beginning with the lady who sold us the tickets - very nice and patient. Many of the rides are run by students, but they were all very responsible, friendly and followed through before each ride started to make sure all the riders were secure. The young man at the antique car ride managed the entire ride by himself and still took time to ask everyone in each car "Did you have fun?" at the end of every ride. I was very impressed with his maturity and responsible actions and he looked to be about 18. Overall, we had a great time and although it carried a cost of about $50 per person, it was well worth it and we didn't even get to use the water park. Plus, I kept thinking that we live 15 minutes away so we didn't have to spend much time and gas money driving to a place like Wisconsin Dells for such a nice attraction. I highly recommend visiting even if only once a summer to get some nice picture/video memories.
