The grocery store was a great stop for snacks. They had some delicious pies. At least the cheese and blackberries one I had was delicious. And since the crust is great, I would imagine they were solid choices. They had a nice selection of Amish popcorn and maple treats too. The gift shop is large and has a good selection of items. The yard decor and patio furniture were all fairly impressive. Some things were even Buckeyes themed! The leather goods were the other highlight. I thought the rucksacks were great and had me wishing I could take a hobbit adventure But, the highlight for my sister was a real/ nice belt that she is excited about. My highlight was the pecan turtle I had for dessert. It's a great spot in Amish country and the service was very pleasant.

Although it is fun, it is hard to wrestle the bucket back when you're trying to drive on to the next animals. These animal are big and they know that if your car window is up, they will walk on. If your window is down, they will stick their entire head in the window. They have over 500 animals including zebras, giraffes, buffalo, deer, pigs, llamas, and even have the very cute Scotch Highland cattle. The drive through part is not short and you have to drive slow because of the animals. It is worth the money. Fair warning, your car will get dirty. There is a farmhouse on the premises where they sell some desserts. We went during the fall and they had a small pumpkin patch and a stack of hay bales to climb on. We also had a nice little meal from their food tent. We will be back!

When it's warmer they have ponies, giraffes, tons of snakes, lemurs, and an owl! (I love their owl- was here last year and his name is Merlin, and is disabled, but he is so stoic. Love him!) If you stay at the hotel it's only $5 for entry. This place is separate from the facility, and they don't really advertise it- but it is awesome! I was salty I missed it a few years back, but I make sure I get in here every time I get a chance!

Went on a Saturday around 12, started to get pretty busy around 12:45-1:30. Which makes the…read morecave/cavers very tight to walk through. While your down there your using a provided map to guide yourself around and match the corresponding areas ( Ex; A to A or 1-1 ) We went after it had just rained the night before, so everything was VERY wet. Wear waterproof/walking shoes if you plan on exploring. Be prepared to get dripped on by very cold water coming off nearby rocks, and the "ceiling". Coming down the initial very steep stairs is a beautiful view of different levels of rocks decending into a tunnel/cave where the rest of the cavers are. Tons of puddles all over the ground from collected rain water and the "droplets". Most the areas are about big enough for one person to walk through the tunnel areas at one time, and if your a larger person i DO NOT recommend going down there. Some areas are extremely tight and really only accessible to someone under 4'5 and around 100 pounds or less. (Im 5'4, 140 and some areas i almost got stuck cause it was too tight going through the rocks. It is neat to see though, i dont think id want to do it again as it is just wet rocks and the furthest tunnel was closed from the previous year that occurred from some heavy rain water. (The water collected, over time causing a collapse). So that was kind of a bummer but i get it for safety reasons. The gem mining was fun, definitely loaded with a lot of "gravel" type rocks so that was new for me, Ive only ever had ones with dirt/sand that yield rocks/gems/shark teeth. We found some really interesting gemstones in each tray. The petting zoo was great. I thought it wad Going to be boring and smelly, and i was happily wrong. The goats were adorable, when we came in a baby jumped through the fence and was following our group. And when we came inside the "pen" to pet them he ran back in it was very cute! The deer were a little skittish but very sweet and gentle. The treasure hunt/maze was VERY fun we enjoyed getting different prizes snd trading them within the group.

It's mostly comprised of goats with a few pigs and Zoe the cow "Queen of the barnyard!" It's not exactly conducive for people in wheelchairs. It has a lot of gravel which can make it challenging when you go into the petting zoo. The restrooms are NOT handicap accessible. Which was annoying but we had a work around thankfully. My experience was a five star, but the lack of handicap parking and all the gravel and no handicap accessible bathroom. I have to give it a 2 but because it was so much fun I give it a 5.

We visited this zoo during our cross-country road trip with our two young boys, ages 4 and 5. We…read moredidn't visit the water park, so I can't comment on that portion of the attraction, but the zoo itself was one of the highlights of our trip. Admission and parking were definitely on the expensive side, and we initially questioned the cost. However, once we got inside, it quickly became clear that the experience justified the price. This is an exceptional zoo with beautifully designed exhibits, an incredible variety of animals, and excellent viewing opportunities throughout the park. One thing we especially appreciated was the food selection. There were several good dining options, and a special shout-out goes to the restaurant near the Savanna exhibit for serving fresh watermelon slices--a perfect treat on a warm day. The zoo also features small playgrounds scattered throughout the grounds, interactive learning experiences for children, and even a small aquarium, which was a pleasant surprise. There's so much to see that you could easily spend two full days here if you wanted to explore everything at a relaxed pace. The only areas that gave us pause were the penguin and tiger habitats. We felt the penguins would benefit from a larger, more enriching environment. The tigers also seemed eager for additional stimulation--they repeatedly ran alongside the glass as our kids moved, almost as if they wanted to play. While it was fascinating to watch, it also made us wonder if additional enrichment opportunities would be beneficial. Overall, this is a spectacular zoo and one of the best we've visited. The thoughtfully designed exhibits, wide variety of animals, family-friendly amenities, and engaging experiences make it well worth a visit. If you're traveling through the area, this is an attraction we would highly recommend.

Most zoos for larger cities, especially the capital of states are generally quite nice. I can say…read morethe same for this one too. My only qualms were how rude other guests were (literally almost everywhere I went to in Ohio was like this, probably due to actually being a minority there), and how cold and stand off-ish the staff were too. I want to hope and say it was an off day, but who knows. $30 for that experience when I could have paid less or around that for a better zoo in California, says a lot about society, but I digress. Huge zoo, almost amusement park-like too since there are lots of rides, though some are weekends only. Unlike the dry heat of SoCal, it was cloudy, a bit rainy, and super muggy and humid hot on a summer day, so you'll be sweating regardless. There were also random dinosaurs interspersed around. I enjoy dinos, so this wasn't too bad and it's something I've seen at the SF Zoo too. Also like other bigger zoos, they have lots of events and seasonal things too, which is nice. Favorite animals that I've seen here were the aardvarks, African Gray parrots, Arctic Fox, different species of otters, capybaras, the hellbender, Komodo dragons, Markhor (cool spiral horned mountain goats), moose, Pallas' Cat (meme cat you don't see often). Just wish they had more reptiles, mainly lizards as that's my autistic hyperfixation.

I recommend the weekdays, as each time we have gone during the week there is no issue with crowding. The only thing is the daycare field trips are there before lunchtime over the summer, so plan accordingly. We packed a lunch and ate on the tailgate in the parking lot. No food is available for purchase on site. Not an issue for us though.

We had expected to maybe pet a few alpacas, and feed some goats, but we got to go into the pens with alpacas, goats, mini pigs, mini horses and donkeys, KANGAROOS, and a wallaby. There's a free ranging tortoise, and a rather cranky camel as well. All of the animals are super social, and came right up to us for pets, even if we didn't have any food. There are add-on private encounters, but my friend wasn't interested in those, so we just did the tour, and got plenty of dopamine from that!

I love visiting the zoo, it brings the child out in everyone as the landscape changes and act season, new enclosures go up captivating a new audience. On Mondays, if you live in Cleveland you can even go for free! I love the elephant enclosure the best, they draw you in with their eyes. As an older gal, I miss Monkey Island, oh the dozens of little monkey literally taking the enclosure was the best. In Cleveland we are so lucky to have such an amazing zoo that is so accessible, so pack a few snacks, put the kids in the stroller and walk through the endless trails, visit the lions, tigers and the bears, the rhinos (especially as our baby turns 1 this year), see the lights before the season ends or plan to pack a car load of friends for the Christmas lights you will never be disappointed.
