What an amazing experience for our family. The ranch is so beautiful and well taken care of. The tour was unbelievable, we learned so much about llamas and alpacas. The kids had a great time and we got to walk with the herd. "Poppy" was very friendly with us and even let us give her a pet. Walking with the Alpacas and Llamas is an experience we will never forget. They were just chilling all around us and even followed us on our walk to the chicken coop. The owner is so nice and was so patient with the kids. He took his time, was engaging, and had some great stories. I would 100% recommend to any family looking to have a close up experience. The kids got to feed the goats, and walk into a chicken coop. It ended up being the highlight of our entire weekend. read more

This place is a must to visit whenever you're in Solvang. Only 10 minutes away from Solvang and such a unique experience. It was only my partner and I for the tour so it was basically like a private tour! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I saw this place on TikTok and knew that I had to come. The animals were so cute and you were able to pet a bunch of them! Would come back again whenever I visit the area! read more

Zaca Creek Ranch - Ranches Near Me

We had a tour consisting of 8 people which was perfect. This tour was the highlight of my 3 y/o grandsons trip. He got to pet Alpacas and Llamas, water pigs, see kittens and chickens and goats. The cows were hiding but that was fine. Charlotte our tour guide was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She will be a great teacher in the future. We also received 15% of coupons for the Zaca Coffee Shop in Buellton. But that is a different review. We highly recommend this tour. read more

I've never been around llamas or alpacas before, not even at a zoo, and this was a fun experience. It was a trip when Cassidy, our guide, brought the animals to the pen from the ranch. They're free roaming, so watching them follow her car was fascinating to me. Most of the animals weren't super into being pet, but Cassidy let us know which ones were more people friendly and less likely to walk away. She did warn us about Grace, the "mean one," but we didn't have any issues with her. A highlight was interacting with the goats and Llama Joe, the ranch's mascot. Our kids loved the kids (see what I did there?) and I feel like we got a good amount of time with all the animals. read more

The alpacas and chickens and goats were so friendly! Llama Joe was super cool too!!! He brushed up along the bushes so close to us and we so frie read more

This was such a gem destination during our trip down to SB. We booked this for our daughter (2 years old) to experience being close to llamas & alpacas. This WAS an amazing experience. Cassidy was so warm & welcoming , she is also the only person on the property & very good at pivoting peoples schedules & trying to be mindful of their time on the ranch. I felt bad for her though because people would come out of no where & she'd just warmly welcome them to join in on the current group, or kindly wait for their reservation time. From spending time with each animal, pigs, chickens & then the stars llama/alpaca & goats - 10/10. Cassidy is transparent about every animals temperament & she tells you their personal little "know about them." If it wasn't for our toddlers nap time, we'd probably spend hours there. The gift shop was very lovely too- we wanted to buy a bunch of llama dolls but our toddler wasn't having it & had to go. Thank you for taking care of your animals- they seemed very docile, great temperament & managed well. If you're looking for an additional stop on your way up or down the coast this is it. Make your reservation & you won't regret this experience! read more

I had the best time here. The absolute friendliest llamas and alpacas. Poppy was my favorite. Very convenient to visit from Solvang or even Santa Barbara or on a roadtrip up the coast.

What a beautiful location this was to get to do yoga on their property! As soon as the yoga music was turned on, the alpacas came out to look over the fence to see what us humans were up to! They have very cute faces and I was able to get some pics of them up close after class. I walked around the property a bit more and heard some goats calling out for us too! Beautiful views and grateful for the experience outside of the city! read more

Went on a farm tour with Cassidy this past weekend and I was absolutely blown away by the grounds, her relationship with the animals and how happy all of the animals are to live there!

This was the absolute highlight of our trip. I was looking on TikTok for things to do with a toddler in the Solvang area and saw a video about Zaca Creek Ranch. I made our reservations and we had a wonderful time. My baby is 18-months-old and her favorite book is Llama Llama Red Pajama. She was able to interact with the llamas and alpacas which was so cool. Now I want pet llamas and alpacas, too. They were so sweet. She was able to see pigs, chickens, roosters, dogs, goats, and cows. She was able to feed the goats and cows. She had the best time and so did we. I definitely will be making plans to visit more often. read more

Didn't know what expect but it was a memorable experience! Follow the directions given as we missed the turn off and had to go back. It was a bigger place than expected but the views were spectacular! Wear comfortable shoes, we walked on grass and hills and all over. I didn't expect to get in the pens with the llamas, alpacas, and goats so I got little nervous. We kept our dogs in the car. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions patiently. Highly recommend the tour! read more

We took a farm tour this past weekend with Kali. When i say she is a GREAT guide, i mean it. Very friendly, knowledgeable, informative, patient with all the questions we had, and even knew some cool local city stats. We can tell the animals on tbe farm receive a lot of love and are well cared for. We went to see the llamas and alpacas, and ended up falling in love with the farm's dogs and pigs. We loved it so much, we plan on going back and taking another tour next time we're in town. I'd also like to add that communication with Hayley was great! Timely text responses to a booking issue i was having which she helped fix in no time. Great place. Great people. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful animals. read more

My wife checked reviews before we went so we had high expectations. We were with "Hayley" as our tour guide. Tour guide seemed uninterested and like her mind was on other things, seemed annoyed whenever asked to many questions... Didn't get the experience we were hoping to. Kids said it was boring. The store at the end was cute, probably ended up being the best part. read more

I took my wife and kids for Mother's Day. We were pleasantly surprised with how top notch everything was! Beautiful scenery, wonderfully cared for animals that you can get very close to, and a phenomenal guide, Kali. My 9 and 6-year old kids were thoroughly immersed into the experience as the time went very quickly. I asked where we could go for a picnic lunch when we were booking our tour and Hayley graciously offered us the opportunity to use a couple picnic tables on site. I would encourage you to arrive 10 minutes early as it's a little ways off of the 101 and the tour doesn't start till everyone arrives so please be timely and courteous. We highly recommend Zaca Creek! read more

The tour was great fun! We learned about a variety of animals (llamas, alpacas, pigs, hens, goats and cows). We were able to pet and interact with most of them too. It was great. Our guide was so knowledgeable and hardworking! I hope they pay her lots and lots of money because she made the entire experience extra memorable. She loves and understands each and every animal, as well as knowing their names and histories. Next time we're up in Solvang we will be out for another visit. Go see and experience this special place. read more

Had a great time here! Our tour guide was very helpful and informed us about all the animals, from facts to personality traits on each, our group had such a blast!
