    Animals here seem very healthy and happy. Lots to see; cats roaming around, many goats and sheep, cows, alpaca, horses. The little gift shop they have is nice as well. Always love passing this place on the freeway too and seeing all the cute babies roaming around!

    $8 admission, $2 per person for hayride, $2 a bag for carrots. Nice area, can bring your own snacks and picnic. Small playground with swings. Decent number animals to see. There was not much to do once you have seen the animals.

    This place is great! The animals are out and about eagerly awaiting the arrival of some lil ones with carrots. The petting farm has a clean bathroom, which is much appreciated! Hayrides for a couple of dollars. Vending machine, gift shop sells a few toys and snacks.

    I was attending a birthday party, at the open pavilion. Big farm with all kinds of farm animals and has a play area; keeping kids entertained..

    We came for my daughter's 3rd birthday party. The kids enjoyed feeding the animals carrots and petting the friendly animals. It was a cold December day so we were in the barn but it was decorated nicely for the holidays. There was so much fun around. The organizers were helpful with my questions and helped us set up. We would love coming again.

    Amazing place for little kids… and for grownups too! :) My family has been members of Domino’s Farms Petting Zoo for a few years, and we love it. There are always new animals to see, both young and grown. The most popular are probably the baby goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas and pigs. You can feed most of the grown animals (only their own carrot sticks are allowed, which sell for $2/bag or $1/bag for members). There are typically also chickens, turtles, ducks, peacocks, rabbits, horses, ponies, donkeys, cows, and barn friends like cats and birds. They host fun activities throughout the year, such as summer festivals the 1st Saturday of June/July/August, trick or treat events, hot cocoa in the winter, and more. There are also other attractions like hay rides, a playhouse with tons of play kitchen equipment, green areas, shelter rentals for birthday parties. There’s a 1920’s train caboose (walk-thru museum, with antique appliances, beds, full bath, kitchen, firewood heater). There is a new playground that opened in 2023. They also sell inexpensive snacks/icream/drinks inside the lobby, which is also a science/animals focused toy store. Kids can spend hours here having fun, and then top it off with ice cream! Consider the annual membership - it’s worth it. Once your kids discover this place, they will want to keep going time and time again. The only complaint I would mention is that after 2 years of asking, they still have not fixed the door thresholds at the main entrance and at the exit towards the train, which make it impossible for a wheelchair to get through without having to tip it over. Domino’s Farms - I highly encourage you to take this accessibility matter seriously and comply with ADA laws, to ensure your entrance is safe and accessible to those in wheelchairs, like my family. Overall, our family loves the petting farm. It’s highly recommended and kid-approved!

    We held my daughter's 4th birthday party here at the end of September. It was very easy to book the party online and easy to check in the day of the party. It was a little drizzly when we were setting up, but the pavilion was perfect for keeping the party area dry. We had a great time visiting the animals, going on a hayride, and playing in the different spaces around the farm. It was the perfect place for an outdoor event with access to nice bathrooms. Also, we have been members for a while now and I love that it's easy to stop by whenever we feel like visiting some animals.

    I don't know why I paid money for this. Some of the animals were fun and interesting but the whole place lacked signage besides what animals you can or cannot feed. I also thought some of the animals were not well cared for.

    It was an amazing stop on our way from Chicago to Detroit. It will be an exciting time for the kids. Friendly staff and more than friendly zoo friends.

    We love the farm! We go here every few weeks with our kids. We just had our daughter’s 5th birthday party here and it was a massive hit. Everyone loved it! The tractor ride was wonderful, the kids loved feeding the animals, and the play house, playground and train were great spots as well! So much to do

    The amount of animals you can get up close to is amazing. We got to pet cows, a calf, goats, bunnies (one that was massively cute), pigs,donkeys and more!! Our group of friends had fun running up and down the fence line of the cows and getting them to play! Overall a great experience for ALL ages!!

    Everytime I go I have a blast. Being able to interact with so many different animals is so much fun. There's lots of space to move about freely. I've been going here since I was a kid and I cant wait to bring my kid here as well.

    I rented the Petting Farm Pavilion for my daughter's wedding shower. This is a very nice pavilion! The staff and manager were very helpful. My guests enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and ability to tour the petting farm. I had perfect weather but I also checked it out on a rainy day and felt sure that we could still have an event without getting wet. There is almost always a nice breeze at the Petting Farm Pavilion!

    We had a birthday party here for our daughter. There were different package prices based on the number of guests and was very flexible and reasonable. Parties are held in the pavilion and include a tractor ride and feed bags for the kids. The bathrooms are right next to the pavilion so it was easy to wash hands before having food and cake. We like coming here on regular weekends once in a while too. They have lots of animals for the kids to see: pigs, chickens, ducks, a blue and a white peacock, bunnies, horses, cows, donkeys, alpacas, sheep, goats.

    We held our daughter’s 4th birthday party at the Petting Farm. It was so easy to get set up and the kids absolutely loved it. Especially the tractor ride and throwing carrots to the sheep. If you’re renting the pavilion and it’s windy, bring some tablecloth clips and tape to secure down decorations. The staff were amazing. We had less guests come than expected and they very kindly changed our package size that same day to accommodate the smaller guest list. We would definitely do a party here again.

    Great place for children! Admission is extremely reasonable, the grounds are well manicured, and there are a lot of animals to see! I drove an hour to get here and it was well worth it. The staff are friendly too!

    We have so much fun here! Our son loves having his birthday parties here, so we come back every year! It's a petting zoo so we get to touch and feed the goats, sheep and llamas. It rained this time so we didn't get our hayride like we did the previous years, bummer 😕. Our son still had the time of his life with his friends and that's all that mattered. There are horses and cows and ducks, chickens and peacocks too, but we are prohibited from feeding them. You can rent the pavilion for your parties by going online and reserving your preferred date. If you don't reserve the "whole" pavilion there are chances of another family having their party the same date. We didn't mind sharing. The farm is big so you don't even notice the other family being there. Everyone is out feeding a 🐐 or 🐑 🐏 lol. For food, you have a choice of Domino's Pizza, which is delivered by Domino's farm. Very convenient. You can place your order while you make your reservation. You can choose another pizza company or different types of food to serve your guests. The farm will not help you with delivery. They have bathrooms on site. They could use more care. I love that they have a foot stool for young kiddos in the women's bathroom. One con is the trash can, specifically the one located at the front pavilion. There were maggots visible in the trash. Maggots hatch within a period of 7-20 hours, I believe. This is the only request I'd like to ask the farm. Please change out the trash often. Besides that we love coming here. They do have a membership you pay annually should you want to go often like we do. They do a great job of keeping the farm clean and safe.

    It was not the best experience nor the worst. I feel that one of the horses in the stable was not in the greatest condition and looks like it needs some feeding and medical attention. The farm itself was pretty clean. They should do some kinda updates.

    Animals were cool. Not much here. Guy at the ticket register was uninterested in doing his job.

  • 1/5 Kimberly E. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Such a disappointment. Literally had standard farm animals behind ELECTRIC fences! Who has electric fences at child height in a petting zoo? The price was a bit much to see a couple horses, donkeys, pigs, goats and not much else. It had a small play area that about 4 kids could play on at a time without fighting over stuff. Looks really cool from the highway but don’t bother wasting your money.

    My family and I had such an amazing time! The staff were kind and welcoming, the farm is beautiful and the animals were an absolute pleasure to be around! I can’t wait to go back, I love animals and this experience was amazing! Thank you for having us

    It’s cute, a lot of space for groups to move around & explore properly. Don’t expect a lot like a Zoo because this is not that. About 20-30 animals on the actual petting farm which include the animals listed on the website. Wasn’t crowded at all & was able to get my summer camp kids around the farm successfully.

    We recently celebrated our five year old's birthday at Dominoes Farm and it was a fantastic experience! Despite the cold weather outside, the indoor party area was warm and cozy. The kids had a blast interacting with the animals and the staff were incredibly helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly. The highlight of the party was definitely feeding the animals. We highly recommend Dominoes Farm for a fun and memorable birthday party!

    Animals are well cared for and everything is neat and clean. My two year old grandson loves animals! This was a great visit for him. Things are spaced out and people were great about social distancing.

  • 5/5 Lexi D. 1 year ago on Google
    my favorite petting farm! Go every year and love feeding the animals, they all look so happy & healthy. The animals are always happy to eat and come running for carrots 🥕

    We went here for my granddaughter's birthday party and had a wonderful time. The animals are so much fun and the area is beautiful. The tractor-pulled ride was also lots of fun for the kids.

    Fun small farm to visit. You can feed some of the animals. There is an admission fee.

    I rented the heated barn for a December event and it was a great space! Perfect for our event setup and easy access to the rest of the petting farm. The staff was really easy to work with. Definitely recommend!
