    Sooo much fun. The kids and myself really enjoyed it. Staff is super friendly. It does not have a barn smell. It's so clean and very well kept. We will be back soon.

    Very dirty environment, the poor animals look neglected and are all starving. Very bad conditions for the animals. The blowup bounce house for the kids is huge, but also very dirty. The hay ride was the best experience, we got to feed a camel, zebra, horses and a cow. The kids loved that. Splash pad is a joke. They have 1 blowup unicorn, and that’s it. Miserable in the Texas summer but maybe in the fall/winter it would be ok. I’m honestly surprised those animals are allowed to be tortured in those cages, and the place isn’t shut down.

    It honestly pains me to give this place only three stars. But, after our last visit, I have no choice. My husband said to give ONE star. But, the first time that we ever went, it was a five star visit. So, I averaged it out by giving three stars. My son had been asking to come back here since the first time we visited last summer & it seemed like every time we tried to go, we got rained out. Then I saw their Facebook post about the little pumpkin patch that they added for fall, with some adorable photo ops. So I thought what a perfect time to take him! My husband does not get off work until 2:45 & we live an hour away so we unfortunately did not get there until right at 4:00. Which is the same time we got here the first time we ever visited & when we were buying the tickets the nice lady informed us that they close at 5:00 & wanted to make sure we still wanted to buy tickets. Which I thought was really, really nice of her! I asked her if we would have to leave right at 5:00 & she said no not until 5:30 or so because they had a lot to do. Well this time that wasn't the case at all. My son was having a great time playing on the bounce houses & had to potty so I didn't even put his shoes back on him, I carried him inside to pee. When we came back out, the bounce houses were completely deflated! My son bawled his eyes out & I gave my husband a look that I rarely give him. So he went inside & told them we would pay extra or do whatever we had to, to have the bounce houses blown back up. Especially because it was only 4:45! So they did, reluctantly & you could tell that they were aggravated. But I know they saw not only my son's shoes still there but all of our stuff! They deliberately deflated them while we were all in the bathroom. Then at two minutes till 5:00, a guy came out & rudely told us to wrap it up!!! I honestly can't even begin to express my disappointment in this trip. We paid $65.00 for basically 30 minutes of play. 😔 We all three left sad, especially my son. On a POSITIVE note, the pumpkin patch is very small but the photo ops are pretty dang cute. And they have a few neat things setup to do in the barn. We also got to see a kangaroo with a baby it's in a pouch, which was a really neat experience.

    Was skeptical because of some bad reviews. Got to say we loved it. We had a blast. Most zoos are crowded and corporate atmosphere. This was family friendly and staff made us feel like part of their family. We stayed long enough for the hay ride and it was soooo worth it. Getting kissed by a camel and petting a zebra was awesome! The pizza was really good. The bounce houses were great for my daughter. We even bought a make your own stuffed animal. I am proud that we got to help support such a great place. One of the baby goats got out and chased my daughter down to be pet 😂 they even have a splash pad so bring your swim shorts!

    The “Zoo to you” service was rented for a school function. The set up was inhumane. The animals did not have enough room to move, and they were practically on top of each other at some points. The staff could have cared less about the well being of the animals, as when I asked one of them why specifically the bunny enclosure was so small they said that it was “the best that they could do.” Not all of the animals has access to water, and the ones that did had empty water buckets. These empty water buckets were not noticed by the staff but rather by the students at the function, and they were the ones who refilled it. Mind you, it was a 90 degree day outside. The bunnies had a small ice pack to keep them cool in the enclosure that they could not move in. It was not replaced when it melted, even though the staff acknowledged it. I would not recommend booking this service, unless you want your function to be tainted by the mistreatment of animals.

    We had my daughter’s birthday party there. The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of! The petting zoo was super adorable and all the kids and even the adults had a blast. They were able to accommodate all of our requests and helped us decorate and even hang up a piñata. I highly recommend them for any of your kids parties!

    We had the Zoo to you plus pony come to our home for a birthday party on Christmas Eve. It was absolutely fantastic! All the kids loved feeding and petting the animals and the pony was great too. This is a family run business and they just do such a wonderful job with the children and animals. We also go to Jubilee Zoo too and that is a real treat for the kids, especially when they go out to feed the animals. I would highly recommend either!

    Such a nice little petting zoo! The owner is building it up & we can’t wait to go back next year & see the progress! The hayride was the best!

    So much for the kids to do here. Had a great time. Plenty of shade. Want to pet a kangaroo or wallaby ? (They hold the cones themselves, so cute ! ) want to bottle feed a baby goat ? This is the place to go. Admission is very reasonable and staff is super nice.

    5 Stars for sure! The family and I were just passing through and I am so glad we found this little gem. It's family owned and operated, and you can tell, as they make you feel right at home. The brothers who operated the hay ride where you can feed the larger animals were very knowledgeable and friendly, we ended up riding it twice! The staff up at front were super friendly and incredibly good with kids as well. Entry is all inclusive (except pony rides and extra food), and they have 2 playgrounds and a huuuuge inflatable bounce maze type thing. My kids (age 2 and 3) loved every minute of the visit and there was plenty to keep them engaged for hours. I highly recommend visiting here, the kids even got to bottle feed a baby kangeroo, how cool is that?

    Nice staff, Autumn and Grace were super sweet(but all the girls were very friendly & the hayride driver as well lol) You can go inside the gates and be up close w the animals which is a plus and more fun. They even have bounce houses and a splash pad to cool down. The hay ride was so fun. The kids loved it as well as the pony ride ! Def coming back.

Thumbs up to this wonderful place.

  • 5/5 Hailey S. 3 years ago on Google
    Took my two year old yesterday and the staff were extremely nice and hospitable. The animals are happy and well fed. My son loves the pony ride. The hayride was so much fun. The camel had the funniest personality. They have a gift shop with snacks and drinks as well. One of the staff even offered to make us some lemonade! I enjoyed our evening with them. Definitely will go again.

  • 5/5 Connie A. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a good time there yesterday with the grandkids. They loved the pony ride, hayride, feeding and petting animals, zipline, and splash pad. The owners and employees are absolutely wonderful.

  • 5/5 Freda B. 3 years ago on Google
    This was an outing for me and my granddaughters. I have limitations on lifting, so this was a perfect fit. The staff is exceptional, they give you the "WOW" factor. The hay ride is an added bonus. My grandbabies Loved it so much, my 2 year old cried when we had to leave. We will be back again.

  • 5/5 Desiree R. 3 years ago on Google
    We loved coming and visiting this zoo! We also really enjoyed our little tour guide, Winter!

  • 5/5 Carson T. 2 years ago on Google
    My 16 month old son loved every bit of it! Super friendly staff and animals. The hay ride was so super fun.

  • 5/5 Ashton P. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was a blast!! It is not a zoo. It is a petting zoo that has pony rides, train rides, hay rides, animal encounters, and lots of playgrounds! My 2 year old could participate in everything and did not want to leave after being there all day with no nap. If you have young children that like animals and are wondering if you should do this or aquarium/ science museum, I would pick this for sure! It is a laid back family environment. And you can go back to anything that you want to see or try again. Kids are going to spend more time and burn more energy here.

  • 5/5 Jessica T. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is too cool! Definitely a must see. Super clean and maintained, all the animals are friendly and the staff always had smiles on their faces. Take your kids and have a blast!

  • 5/5 Matt W. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is so freaking awesome!! We had our daughters birthday party there today. The staff Allison and Trinity went above and beyond to make sure the day was successful. We will be back many times in the future. So much activities for the kiddos to do. Animals are friendly and excepting of being handled by young toddlers. High recommend this place!! Thank you all so much!!

  • 5/5 Laura C. 1 year ago on Google
    We loved it there! Two thumbs up! If you have any problems they handle it immediately. Also you can bring in your own drinks or food and you can have a little picnic in those tables if you like and you can go in and out as you please back and forth to your car. To those who are smokers you can go out to the parking lot to smoke by your vehicle as well. But to be polite and don't throw your buds on the ground that's just disgusting and disrespectful. A must must go!

  • 5/5 Heather P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the best time at Jubilee Zoo! Worth the trip! Admission was very decently priced and included food for animals and a hayride where we got up close and personal with some awesome animals (camel, zebra, horses, etc)

  • 5/5 Tammy A. 1 year ago on Google
    I took my 2 year old and 14 year old sons to the jubilee zoo and both of them had the time of their lives. There were so many beautiful, friendly and well taken care of animals, it was very obvious the animals were accustomed to interaction. The kids were so happy to run around and be free to enjoy the outside without me constantly wrangling them in and this was possible because the Jubilee Zoo is safe and staff are so friendly. For me, it was just the reset I needed as a mom and honestly I was taken back to a time when I could enjoy simple things. Our visit to the zoo was magical, not in a grand make believe way, but the magic that’s always around us in nature and family if we could slow down enough to see it. We only live an hour away and we will taking more breaks from life out at this beautiful yet simple, little piece of heaven on earth. Thank you Jubilee Zoo for making our family feel like so welcomed and sharing your sweet animals with us.

    Loved the hayride. We got to feed the camel, zebra, and cows. The kids were beyond excited! There's also jumping houses for the kids! It was my granddaughter first trip with her pre- k class. We had a Blast!

  • 5/5 Erin G. 1 year ago on Google
    My 4 year old daughter had a blast. It was better than the last time we went last November. The staff was friendly. My daughter also loved the bouncey house..couldn't get her out of it!

  • 5/5 Jauilan H. 8 months ago on Google
    I just want to say this has to be by far the best service, from the best staff, I’ve received. Being pregnant with two minor children the staff offered to help me when they saw me struggling to sign in. Then i felt lightheaded due to the heat and they got me a chair and water and sat me in front of an air conditioner and continuously checked on me. They are an amazing staff ! Highly recommend!!! The hay ride & train rides are great as well. I just wanted to highlight on the quality of the staff !

  • 5/5 Tena T. 8 months ago on Google
    Today, we had a two pony party for our granddaughters and eight of their friends and cousins. Loved loved loved our pony party!! Arrived on time with beautiful well-cared for, well-trained ponies. Daniel and Ben were so good with the kids-they were so patient and kind! I think having the ponies was the best birthday party we have ever had. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again. Next time, we will have the ponies and the traveling zoo!! Thank you, Jubilee Zoo, for a very special day!

  • 5/5 Mechell J. 3 years ago on Google
    OMG...THIS WAS THE MOST BESTEST PLACE EVER...came for my sons 4th birthday today and he had so much fun he didnt wanna leave. The people there are so nice and helpful because all i know about animals come from Dr Doolittle....if you are ever in the area you have to stop...although Douglass the camel will give you a run for your money... definitely coming back

  • 5/5 Amanda C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jayj C. 3 years ago on Google
    Veryyyy nice place to take the kiddos!! Staff was very nice and friendly from start to finish. Took our 2 year old grandson. He had a blast! Absolutely loved the hay ride! He got to pet the different animals. Took him a few to warm up to them. Lol. But, the staff was veryyyy patient while he did. Especially the pony ride!! Tyvm!

  • 5/5 Janet C. 3 years ago on Google
    Love it here a good family environment... everybody come see them

  • 1/5 Dan A. 3 years ago on Google
    Not so sure the animals are very happy, hope they are being taken care of. Basically a dirt floor play area for young kids. No supervision, kids chasing rabbits, and carrying them around. Surely not worth the entry fee. And animals look pitiful.

  • 5/5 Josh M. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty cool place. Will be back.

  • 5/5 SeanMichael H. 3 years ago on Google

    Fun place to take the little one and I had fun as well. All the animals were friendly and gentle. Hay ride through the park was fun, lots of playgrounds and a couple bounce houses. Worth the price, we will come back when visiting family.

    I don't think my 17 month old has ever had more fun in her life! We went for the first time for the Unicorn event, and it was a blast. The staff were incredibly friendly, there was so much space to run around, and all of the animals were wonderful to see and pet. We will definitely be returning! I felt it was a fantastic value for the price.
