    My family and I enjoyed our day trip here but I have very mixed feelings as I write this review - The very first staff member we encountered here didn’t bother putting on a mask and since they don’t accept credit card payments (only cash or PayPal), everyone that came in had no choice but to have close encounter / exposure with her. All the visitors that came in clearly followed the Covid-19 protocol and almost all of the kids had masks on. You can see the disappointment in parents’ faces as they come in through the entrance and make the payment. Some positive comments (since my child did enjoy the time here): The horses all look healthy and happy as compared to some other farms we’ve been to. For $7, children get to do pony rides and parents can even walk the ponies. Make it $10 and you get to ride on unicorn-looking ponies. I believe it’s $25 (with reservation) if you would like to do a trail pony/horse ride. However, they didn’t sanitize the saddles between each ride as they’ve advertised. Unfortunately the petting zoo was closed so we didn’t get to see other animals other than a donkey but you can still purchase carrots to feed the horses. Again, I wish the staff member took this pandemic more seriously - all her other coworkers who were working under the sun had masks on, she was entirely under the shade and chose not to.

    My toddler loves this place Animals are very friendly. Staff is excellent. No animals were sick on 5/07/22 like other reviews had posted. Entrance was only 2 dollars and the pony ride was 7 dollars. Unicorn are 10.

    This place is enchanting! They have ponies for pony rides (you can go around a walk, or go for a walk down a path..) They also have sheep, goats and lamas. You can buy feed and give it to them. They also do birthday parties. There are tables back behind the animal areas. It's really just so cute. (And based on my interaction with the folks working, and some of the signage I saw, I think they are invested in the animals' welfare.)

    We took our daughter here after her 2nd birthday and it was a perfect couple hours. We got to feed the llamas and goats, run around with chicken and geese and ride the ponies! Staff is really friendly and there is a hand washing station as well

    Wasn't a huge fan of the entrance fee. We did the pony ride that was $7. Did the 5 laps and we got to walk our kids. The kids loved it and it was fun being able to walk them around.

    Entertaining to go as a family, various animals, and you can ride a horse. my daughter really enjoyed the whole place! it is not an expensive place. The entrance fee is $2 $10 horseback ride. $2, $4 and $6 to buy food to feed the animals.

    We had a blast. We reserved the party area for a half day basic party we got tons of rode tickets and a nice discount on feed, there is ONLY a portable restroom here but that wasn't a huge issue for us they provided all the trash cans and bags which was cool and were not too pushy about closing time (we had the space reserved until closing) so as we cleaned they let the kids still roam around watch them put the animals in there little stalls and get fed etc. The pony walks and runs were amazing and we were able to go quite a few times and the staff was super cool. I loved the experience so did all the kids we invited to celebrate our daughter we will definitely be there for regular trips and more parties

    The petting zoo is not open at all! The only thing that was available was the pony ride(regular pony) unicorn pony’s we’re at a party all morning and unavailable for rides until after 3pm as I was told by an employee. The animals you could feed were very aggressive and pulled at my daughter. The worker that was doing the pony rides was not informative and let us stand by the entrance for 20 minutes though I had called out to her that we wanted to ride. She didn’t get up to let us on until another parent and child lined up behind us. Wasn’t worth the trip for us and we only stayed for an hour due to nothing to do there

    Our family loved it!!! Staff is awesome. We will be coming again. Hopefully my 11 year old will be able to ride a horse. Only little ones can ride ponies.
