    A small animal park with lots of animals to see, and some unusual ones are available for petting for those who dare. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great place to bring your kids who will love the experience.

    Small park but local and nothing like it in the area. Staff are very friendly and great with kids. Petting of some animals is unique (snakes / lizards) and also more common rabbit petting. Good variety of animals and nice walk. Takes about an hour to get around everything. All even ground which is mostly a dirt/stone track around the park so very accessible for prams, wheelchairs or people with walking difficulties (compared to Belfast Zoo that is built on a hill). Kids loved it (4 and 2).

    Had a great day at C&J's Animal park my grandson loved it and got to see the animals up close and the staff were very helpful.

    The 3 staff members helping guests and showing the animals were a credit to the place!! They were enthusiastic, friendly and treated the animals with care. They were so good to my little boy, letting him hold the animals and giving him information. The young lady with dark hair made our experience! Would be nice to see the place developed a bit more especially for the birds, but as it is animals seem to be cared for well. Over all a positive experience.

    Great little farm, and when I say little I mean more compact. Still loads of animals, but unlike other farms, you don't need to walk kms to see them all. Massive choice of animals, most of which you can pet, so kids love it. Staff are v good. Only minor feedback...some areas could do with a clean, but as it's a farm it's easier said than done

  • 5/5 L G. 7 months ago on Google
    It was amazing to be able to feed the animals and hold a baby goat and snakes. There was such a variety of animals there and I was also able to pet other animals like guinea pigs rabbits and a bearded dragon! The staff were so friendly and willing to help, I will definitely be back!!

    Pinecrest Woods offers a fantastic adventure for hikers. The rugged trails wind through dense forests and lead to stunning overlooks. The trail markers are clear, and the park rangers are knowledgeable. Be sure to bring sturdy footwear and a sense of adventure!

    Absolutely amazing place with even better staff, the woman (forgot her name) who showed us a few different reptiles etc was an absolute pleasure start to finish as was the woman who was on the front desk

    We had an awesome time visiting today with all the animals. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and all of the animals were engaging and fun. The animals are well kept and healthy looking. Please spend some time and go enjoy them.

    A wonderfully well-kept and clean zoo. The best attraction is the opportunity to treat the little goats with a delicacy. Just too sweet

  • 2/5 Sarah M. 11 months ago on Google
    Volunteer staff friendly and very helpful. However some of the animal enclosures are in need of redesign and update. Paths also need attention and are uneven & difficult to navigate. Beware sitting on the plastic garden seats as if you sit back at all they can tip over. The toddler sitting on my knee's face hit the gravel and mud when the seat tipped back. You are warned on arrival that you are there at your own risk.
