As much as our granddaughters wanted to hug and snuggle them, they are just not that kind of animal. Brenda has trained some that you can pet on their neck or shoulders and they will eat from your hand. She will set you up with some chow and a lesson on how to feed and what to expect. Tours are early when the Alpaca are hungry and cool. The gift shoppe is wonderful. Something for everyone with great gifts for all seasons. This is not only for kids. Bring friends from out of town, first dates, etc. Fun for all. Book a visit today.

Great experience. When you're looking for the entrance make sure you continue down tarpon springs…read moreroad just pass where you see the first golden spirit alpaca farm sign on the fence. Literally a minute past that on your right you will see the red brick entrance about 3ft tall on each side. The guest entrance sign should be on the outside of the brick. It was a little hard to find at first. Wouldn't recommend bringing children under 5 just because you end up watching your kids more than you do enjoying the experience. Would also recommend going during the cooler seasons of the year. Went in May and it felt like 100 degrees out! Brenda knows her stuff - she's the owner. Place was super beautiful! I'd recommend this place!

Fantastic place for field trips and birthday parties…read more This place is definitely a favorite for field trips and birthday parties. I've chaperoned a couple fields trips here and we've attended a couple birthday parties as well. The latest was for a five year old's birthday party and the weather in February was perfect (I could see it being a bit hot in the summer since the sitting/eating area is open door. They do have an air conditioned room you can rent though, we've attended a birthday party in there as well.) The invite said three hours and I thought is this really going to last three hours? It did, it was a jam packed three hours. We saw all types of animals, had a hay ride, picked up chickens, kids rode ponies, and milked a cow. It was fast paced enough that it kept everyone's attention. The farm may not seem big, but they do a fantastic job organizing the group to move from section to section. There was even an outdoor obstacle course that I didn't see before that the kids loved. If you're looking for a fun, organized activity, this is a great option. Both the kids and parents had a blast.

We worked very closely with the owner, Henry, to make our front yard vision come to life. Prior to…read morethis reinvention, our very large oak tree was blocking all sunlight and killing the grass. Do not let this very staged before picture fool you, the house had little curb appeal. I wish we had taken a more realistic before picture; it wasn't pretty. Patches of brown grass, dying vegetation, and dirt patches would have been on display. We replaced the dead grass and vegetation with tropical plants that thrive in shade. Plus we removed the old brick boundary around the oak tree with small bushes. Finally we created a beautiful walkway from our sidewalk to driveway. We were very vocal with Henry that we wanted lots of tropical colors present. I will confess that I was slightly demanding throughout the process and Henry responded with the utmost professionalism. As a result, we now have a front yard that far exceeds our expectations. Henry also worked tirelessly to meet our timeframe and budgetary requirements. No need to look for a second quote. Lake Jewel Farms is the ideal vendor for all landscaping projects.

Little up there in pricing for what it had but really not bad compared to others. most exciting parts was the open pen with some chickens and goats roaming around.

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.

On instagram we saw beautiful farmland and huge yurt like tents as cabanas with the layouts described on the website. The website not having any photos should've been the first red flag. After making an over 2 hour drive from Orlando we are greeted by someone who had clearly already had a long day, asking us to sign waivers. We ask when the pizza will be served because we are incredibly hungry and it was going to be a hot day. They tell us after 1pm because the pizza comes from this amazing pizza place. We are told where the bathroom is and then led to our cabana. What a HUGE disappointment. It's a tailgating canopy with 8 seats and 2 blow up chairs even though it's advertised to sit 12. We were expecting an enclosed private space but we were just in a line of 5 other canopies the exact same size and decor. The only difference was the number of seats. We got to feed baby cows and they took Polaroids of the experience. That was pretty cool. We then got to feed animals and hold baby goats. That was awesome. Around 1:20pm the super Awsome pizza arrived. 2 dominos pizzas. Was this a joke? Dominos??? The pizza was cold and one of them tasted off. 5 minutes after we got the pizza we were asked if everything was okay and I said no, it's cold and it's dominos. The attendant stated that they got dominos because WE said we were hungry. And that they knew for a fact the pizza was hot because it was so hot on their arms. I was taken aback at the rudeness. The attendants then went to a different party cabana and spent most of their time there drinking alcohol with those guests and ignoring us. No one even wished me a happy birthday. What was supposed to be a full 11-5 day, we left at 2:30 it was so bad. I really hope Cowabunga refunds my mom her money. At least half if not more. DO NOT TRAVEL FAR FOR THIS "EXPERIENCE". It's only worth it if you live local and actually know what you're paying for. First photo is what was advertised. Other photos is what we got.
