    Amazing: Cost: Children under 2 are free, $15.00 for children ages 2-12, $25.00 for adults 13-64, and $10.00 for Seniors 65+. This place was amazing only given (4) because the location was hard to spot, little to no s signage and if you are going the speed limit you will pass right by the tiny driveway. Here shortlist of animals: Kangaroos,Wallabies, Rabbits, Llamas, Peacocks, Mini Donkeys, Parrots, Emus. The viewing season is short: March Through October Thursday - Sunday, 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m., & 4 p.m., Closed Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday

    We had the best time. The grandkids were so excited and got to see animals. They've never seen in person before. The tour guide was great and so were the owners. They were very welcoming.

    This is a great place to go if you have kids. The guides are great about explaining the risks of going to certain areas and very informative about the animals. They do a great job of making it fun as well. If your kiddo loves animals, this is the place to go. I brought my 17 year old nieces here as well and they LOVED petting the Kangaroos.

    My wife found this place and took me, our son, and her dad here. It was a fun experience! I can say that out of all the times I have been around wild animals at zoos, I have never pet a kangaroo or gotten this close to one. I am from San Diego too so I used to be a member of the San Diego Zoo and their other location called the Safari Park. I guess it is a very well known zoo world wide which is why I mentioned it. Even though I have been to these two wonderful parks, I have never experienced anything like I did at this Kangaroo Farm. The petting zoos they have don't have Kangaroos! Even though I gave 5 stars, I do have one negative thing to mention. And that is the staff tone of voice and demeanor. They were professional and competent, but sounded annoyed. I know people can be difficult to deal with in that environment, but it is your job to put up with them without sounding irritated while doing so. They have some al pacas, chickens and other animals too. My wife pre-purchased the tickets and I remember it wasn't that cheap. But how often do you get to pet Kangaroos?

    Wow! Great place! They don't have kangaroo in Vietnam! So soft and friendly....Nice place, they give food for you to feed them. There is a gift shop. Make sure clean shoe before getting back in car! No concrete, they get dirty. Staff is funny. They yell and sound annoy. Why work there if you tire of it! Don't sound annoy! Just do your job happy! Fuzzy Kangaroo make up for it though.

    We had a great time at the kangaroo farm as adults, kids would have a blast too. Easy to find, a short drive from Arlington, easy parking, and no scheduling it's show up and go. Prices are a little bit high for what you are getting, but nonetheless a great time. There's a few animals to look at inside and engage with, beware the parrot will scream at you! You'll get to see lemurs, donkeys, an emu, goats, wild deer, kangaroos etc. you can pet a handful of them as well. The workers seemed knowledgeable, happy to answer questions and the animals seemed to be treated well. If you're looking for an elegant experience this isn't it, it's a fun 45min show and tell by a couple different people, pet and feed a few animals and you're done. I would repeat if I was taking someone that hadn't done it before or kids.

    Where else can you pet and feed a kangaroo and get your first kiss from an Alpaca? Family owned and a wonderful experience for all ages!

    Our neighbors told us about The Outback Kangaroo Farm knowing the immense excitement my 3 year old has around ALL animals. We arrived about 20 minutes prior to the final 4pm tour; be sure to check the website for tour times. Tickets are to be purchased at arrival, and are very reasonable. The owners are very friendly, and truly go over beyond for the continuous upkeep of the farm, and greatly care about the livestock dwelling within. I do recommend dressing very comfortably and wearing closed toe all terrain shoes so can trek through farm without any concern. My toddler could have spent the entire time feeding the Alpacas, and kangaroos. I was so surprised at how friendly all of the animals were to all guests (of all ages.) My son hasn't stopped telling everyone about his kangaroo friends. If you have little ones and are looking for fun activities definitely give this wonderful family farm a visit; I highly recommend!!

    Who would have guessed that a slice of the Australian Outback would be in Arlington!? After making this discovery, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to pet and feed kangaroos just one hour from Seattle. A few days before visiting, we had messaged their Facebook page with a couple questions and received a response in a very timely manner; shout-out to the owners for their great communication! Guided tours are offered at 10:00A, 12:00P, 2:00P & 4:00P each day. On a Saturday, four of us arrived at the farm for their 12:00P tour. Right as we stepped out of the car, we were welcomed by the flock of roosters running about. The owners ask that visitors arrive 15 minutes early which allows time to pay for admission inside the gift shop and wait for the tour to begin. Admission is $15 for kids age 2 - 11, $25 for guests 12 - 64, and $10 for 65+. Don't miss the two exotic birds inside the gift shop: a Kookaburra with the pointiest beak I've ever seen and a very lively Cockatoo. I kept my distance especially since there was a sign noting that they bite, but they were cool to see up close! At the start of the tour, one of the guides gathered everyone by the lemur habitat, gave an intro and set the ground rules which can be summarized to no running, no yelling and no eating. The lemurs are so adorable and active. I had no idea that they enjoy eating banana peels! All guests were split into one of two groups, each led by a guide. Our group began at the kangaroo pens and we were handed apple leaves to feed them. There were several kangaroos lounging around and they were much more mellow than I expected. (While the enclosure does not appear huge at first glance, it actually extends further back past the point we were allowed.) We spent about 20 minutes here before we were led to an enclosure with an adorable (but shy) wallaby and a giant tortoise. Next up were donkeys and pygmy goats lined up against a low fence. It got quite crowded here as everyone was trying to squeeze in to feed and pet them. Beware, these guys will lick you for food! I turned away for a second and felt one of the donkeys licking my backpack with force. We then made our way to the fierce-looking emus and finally to an enclosure with alpacas and a llama. I was relieved to hear that they open the gates in the evening after tours so that the animals can roam around. While they are long days of four consecutive tours, it seems that the animals are well cared for and the owners are clearly passionate about their farm. I just wish that they limited the size of their tour groups, perhaps through a reservation system. There were not enough animals to share between all the guests and often the four of us ended up in the very back of the pack. For $25 per person, the one hour tour passes by very quickly and you don't get much personal time with the animals. We had fun, but I don't think it was the best value. Something needs to change... either they extend the length of the tours and reduce to a couple per day, better control the crowd or decrease the price of admission. Overall, it's still a unique experience. I loved every minute I spent with the friendly kangaroos and other furry friends!

    This place is a hidden gem. Tired of the aquarium and zoo? Looking for something new? This is it! There is so much more than kangaroos - there's llamas and emus and ring tailed lemurs, just to name a few. The property is beautiful and clean, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals all seem genuinely happy. Kids of all ages, adults, grandparents, young couples, moms on their own....no matter who you are or who you are with, everyone appears to love it! Get up close and kiss an alpaca, feed some donkeys, relax with the roaming peacocks. Bring a picnic and enjoy the scenery. Take a trip and experience something new! You will not regret it.

    Overall, this place was fun. I feel like the guided tour was a bit too short and crowded. But my kids had fun petting and feeding various animals.

    Fun place to go with the grandkids!  They give you food to feed the animals and you're allowed to let the animals.

    Great place to go with the family! Friendly owners and very interesting seeing all the variety of animals. Tours given throughout the day! Cute gift shop. Will go again in the future.

    Is this place mostly just for kids?

    I don’t think so, as an adult I enjoyed visiting the farm. When meeting the animals we were given facts about the animals and I learned many things.

    How much doea it cost to visit?

    $10 for children, $12 for adults.

We didn't get lucky with everything--the lion was taking a nap and completely out of sight--but honestly, that's part of the experience. The kids still had a great time seeing the giraffes and exploring the other exhibits. What really made our visit stand out was a small moment that turned into something special. We stopped by the VR area near the carousel and met Catherine, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. She asked what we wanted to watch, and my daughter ended up chatting with her and mentioned her birthday was coming up. Out of nowhere, Catherine surprised us with a couple of carousel passes and a little birthday clip. It completely made my daughter's day--you could see how excited she was, and that kind of genuine kindness sticks with you. We come here pretty often during the summer since we're members, and experiences like this are exactly why we keep coming back. The staff really goes the extra mile. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to add more hand sanitizer stations, especially around the food areas and restrooms. It would just make things a bit more convenient for families. Overall, we love this place and appreciate the effort they put into both the animals and the guest experience. Looking forward to many more visits.

The lanterns are spaced out well, so it never feels crowded or rushed, and there's a nice rhythm to the walk where you naturally slow down and take things in. Some sections feel calm and quiet, others are more colorful and playful, and it all flows really well along the zoo paths. I grabbed tacos from one of the food spots and a cappuccino from a coffee stand, which was exactly what I wanted on a cold evening. Simple, warm, and easy to enjoy while wandering. It's the kind of setup where you can snack, stroll, stop, and keep moving without breaking the mood. Overall, Wild Lanterns 2025 feels well thought out without being overdone. It works just as well for a relaxed solo walk as it does with friends or family, and it's one of the few seasonal events I'm genuinely happy to make a repeat tradition.

Its advertisement on Google says that it's a roadside attraction but it was much better than that. Although it's just two rooms, we spent more than an hour here looking at the animals and then seeing the animal feeding time.

He knew so much about it was cool to see full on alligators sitting in the corner in an enclosed area. They had all the different kinds of poisonous snakes. My favorite was seeing the king cobra and reticulated python. So many cool animals. If you can make it out here in the next month or so, you should do it. So worthwhile to come and see.

In the summer, there's a big outside area for tortoises that you can pet (there's an indoor area in the winter). Admission prices are very reasonable and they have a great gift shop. They recently temporarily closed to do a refresh, it's clean and more open. We love to bring our baby here because it's not so big to be overwhelming, but it's great for big kids too. Reptiles like to be warm so it's generally quite warm inside, we love it for a rainy day outing.
