We all really enjoyed feeding the goats, they are so funny! The owner is super friendly. He will answer any questions for you. He came out at one point and walked around the zoo and spoke with us for a bit. Highly recommend stopping by!

Went to this zoo during the off-season after checking out of our Airbnb in the area for some hiking…read morein Shenandoah National Park. I will admit I love animals and get really excited to see them at zoos, even if some habitats I have seen here and other places don't seem adequate compared to the well-funded Smithsonian Zoo in DC. However, this small rescue zoo was 100% worth the trip. The owner has been running this place for at least 30 years given that the vulture has been there since 1996. Even Steve Irwin visited here in 1998 and complimented the place. The owner was very kind and briefed us on all the monkeys that could possibly throw gravel at us, and that one monkey hated cameras. There were SO many snakes so if you have a reptile-loving child, please take them here. The best part in my opinion was the petting zoo portion at the end. Buy the $3 feed cup when you get the admission tickets. There were goats, sheep, alpacas, and emu that you could feed. They were all gentle when taking the food, but the goats were aggressive with each other fighting for a spot by the fence to get food. It was quite fun and would be a blast for kids.

Family fun farm in the Shenandoah! This farm features a huge pumpkin patch where you can pick your…read moreown pumpkin - and an enormous Corn Maze. The maze is well cut and fun. Other activities included: hay ride , pumpkin bowling, pillow bounce, truck sand pit, basketball toss, football toss, baseball toss, lots of different slides, duck races, pig races and more . They also have animals to see : chickens, goats (and a goat walk), donkeys, ducks, pigs, sheep, and alpacas. They also have tractors you can climb all over. Prices were reasonable for the amount of stuff available. They also have classes for children to learn about how pumpkins are grown and a fun story time session. What could be better ? - some of the games need new balls- as some are worn out and old. They also have a pizza barn, beverages (soda,water), and kettle korn.it would have been nice if they had burgers , hot dogs or sandwiches- but some of that was closed on Friday. Views of the mountains and valley are amazing! Great fun for the family- check them out ! ( Seasonal )

I showed it to the manager and she pulled it out of my hands rudely while refusing to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and claiming the shell could've come from outside the farm... I was perplexed hearing only stupid excuses and refusal of acknowledging the danger! I'm gonna take this further with the sherif department!

My partner and I had an amazing time at this petting zoo…read more There were horses, goats (like 30!), baby piglets, mama cow and calf that was born just that week, rabbits, llamas, emus, peacocks, turtles, and more! The farmers were knowledgeable and friendly teens/young adults. They were very sweet to the children and ensured that all the kids could pet the baby goat born that week. The best part of our visit was being followed around by Dolly, a goat that roamed the premises, scavenging for leftover corn and dropped treats.

This year, they had a great deal on Groupon, which comes with a tractor ride around the farm. There's plenty of animals to look at, from baby pigs, horses, donkeys, turkeys, goats, a camel, dogs, etc. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms (yup, you heard that right), and plenty of places to sit to snack. I've also seen a few families host birthday parties here!

The food was good, we tried the pretzel and hot dogs. Reasonable prices! The ciders are delicious, my favorite was the Strawberry Lemon & sangria! I hope they bottle those as they are only on tap right now. Lots of seating area inside and out! Dog friendly and close enough to DC for a day trip! They have lots of other events so excited to be back soon!

Went here to learn about raising chicks and to take four chicks home…read more The class about raising chicks was all of five minutes long. The 'instructor' basically said they are wild animals. Well thanks for the lecture Einstein! We were also promised that the chicks would be layers of medium or larger brown eggs. They gave us a Polish chicken that lays white eggs. Don't worry she will be a much loved pet. The cost of the class, the four chicks a bag of feed and the cheapest temu feeder. Over $400!

But in northern Virginia folks seem to think this is an amazing county stop. They have lots of animals- goats, chickens, pigs, other fowl etc in nice pens along the property. A massive collection of over priced outdoor adrenal chairs, indoor food market and ice cream, oils and natural remedies, cards and gifts, kids toys, large candy section and dairy and meat products. Produce section was very small. It's a good collection but definitely not the Amish/ Mennonite groceries of the Midwest!
