This was our first trip. We took our 6 year old granddaughter. It is certainly reasonably priced…read more We of course bought a bucket of feed and she fed animals to her heart's content. She got to brush a goat. You can get bird seed on a stick and feed the birds. I got one to sit on my hand. It was clean and the path through the park is well maintained. We will definitely go again.

This is a sister park to close by Keystone Safari. Some of the animals (like the giraffes) that…read moreused to be here are now at Keystone. That being said, it is still worth a visit! Especially for younger kids who will be more engaged by being closer to the animals. There is a nice variety of animals to see. If you are close enough to visit two or three times a year, you can buy an annual pass. If we were closer, I definitely would have done this when my kids were younger. You pay a general admission price then you can add on to get animal feed for the variety of animals. You can even get feed for the alligators! There is a nice variety of animals and you can spend as little as an hour here, but could spend a longer time if you do an encounter or take a break for a meal or snack. They have recently added animal encounters with their pygmy hippo and otters! A great place, especially for those with smaller kids (but is enjoyable for people of any age)

I absolutely love Keystone! I feel like it is bit of a "choose your own adventure" zoo because…read morethere are so many different ways to experience the park. There is the standard walk through admission. You get a general admission and can pay a nominal fee for feed to feed animals like reindeer and giraffes. This is the most affordable option and you do get to see and experience a nice variety of animals! The highlight for me will always be the giraffes. I love that you can get so close to so many of the awesome animals. It makes it a perfect place for younger kids who might feel disengaged from the Pittsburgh Zoo because the animals can be so far away. You can purchase a safari truck ride. This hour(ish) experience drives you through the portion of the park that you can't walk through and gets you the opportunity to see larger animals like highland cows, water buffalo, bison, elk, camel etc. You can feed several of the animals and they will get right up close to the wagon! You can also do a drive through safari in your own car. They also offer a variety of animal encounters. I've done the sloth encounter which was incredible! You (understandably so) don't get to hold them, but you get to feed and interact with them! They also have encounters with animals like the giant ant eaters and their giraffe calves. If you are an animal lover, totally worth the splurge. They also have an "adventure" component of the park - a ropes course with different courses depending on age and height. It adds to the cost of your visit, but if you have an adventure loving crew, it is a fun activity. The park itself is very well maintained and you can tell that the staff really enjoy their jobs and love the animals. If you are an animal lover, or if you are just looking for a unique place to visit, definitely give Keystone a try!

This is the best zoo ever!…read more When you buy your tickets, you have the option to purchase a feed bucket for $10. I highly recommend getting one! There are also feeding machines where you can get a small amount of food for a quarter, but some of them don't work very well. The bucket was full of food and even included a token that you can give to a staff member in exchange for lettuce to feed the giraffes. It might sound a little expensive, but it will make your day so much more fun, and it's definitely worth it! You get plenty of food to feed the animals. Since you have food to offer them, the animals come right up to you, so you can see them up close. That usually doesn't happen at a regular zoo! There are also plenty of picnic tables where you can sit, relax, and have lunch. I would definitely come back here again!

1 STAR -- Absolutely Horrible Conditions…read more This place was extremely disappointing and honestly heartbreaking. The animals did not appear to be properly cared for at all. The emu was confined to a tiny pen between two buildings, which was especially sad to see. The kangaroos and alpacas were also kept in very small, cramped enclosures. Several animals had dirty water, and the overall conditions made it seem like the animals' basic needs were not being prioritized. The lobby smelled strongly of cat urine and was extremely unpleasant. The cleanliness of the facility was unacceptable. The pony ride was also incredibly disappointing. We paid for a pony ride and got one lap around a tiny area. We were then charged separately for food to feed the animals. What bothered me most is that this is a business making money from these animals, yet the animals we saw did not appear to be receiving the care, space, cleanliness, or conditions they deserve. These are living animals, not attractions to be squeezed into tiny pens just to generate money. I left feeling genuinely sad and angry for the animals. They deserve so much better. I would absolutely not recommend this place. The conditions we witnessed need to be addressed, and the welfare of the animals should come before making money from them.

Noah's Lost Ark is a nonprofit sanctuary for animals who either have been abused or are unwanted…read more Some species of the animals are endangered or threatened. Animals include lions, tigers, bears, turtles, goats, horses, cougars, leopards, servals, foxes, macaques, etcetera. The sanctuary relies on admission fees and charitable donations to provide housing, food, and veterinary care for these animals. Hours vary by season, and admission prices vary by people's age. Currently, the admission price is $15 per adult, and children cost less. Food such as crackers can be purchased in the gift shop and fed to some animals. The website contains a wish list of many items that people can donate. I visited this sanctuary on a Monday afternoon. Most of the animals' enclosures were fairly spacious. I saw an emu who had deformed legs, horses who could not see, a deer who had cancerous tumors, and so on. I feel happy to know that these animals have a home to live out the rest of their lives, and I encourage other people to visit and financially support this sanctuary.

This place is AMAZING!!!…read more The store is huge and spacious and smells literally sweet! Why? Because they have syrup!! They offer sweat shirts to calendars! They have a blind cat that wonders the store (it does scratch but will brush up against your leg. Prices are reasonable 10 for adults 7 for kids You walk out into the yard and are greeted by bunnies and fish and swans and live stock all friendly! Then comes the menagerie of wild animals. The whole grounds do go quickly, but I guarantee you'll have fun! Some of the fenced areas have some undergrowth that makes seeing animals hard (I was a little upset about that) bc you want to be able to see them but the brambles and upgrowth makes it hard. Wild beasties are gorgeous and vocal and fun to watch weather they are rolling in the grass or taking a dip in their pools. It's my birthday and I literally had a day and experience I'll always treasure!

When you enter you immediately start seeing animals... Roosters and chickens walking right up to you... We saw baby peacocks that had just hatched.

We saw lemurs, pigs, kangaroos, donkeys, Bobcats, Tigers, bears, reindeer, a zebra, llamas, a camel, deer, an ostrich, wolves, and several other animals that were new to me!! We all had a great time. It took us about an hour to walk through. You may want your stroller if you have little ones. Mine made it about halfway through before she was ready for her stroller. Oh...
