My boyfriend surprised me with a visit to the Animal Farm Petting Zoo in Manorville, and it turned out to be a great date. The variety of animals, especially the birds, was really impressive. The facility is extremely clean with no bad smells, and the pricing is very reasonable. Plus, it’s a great way to get some exerciseβ€”we definitely got our steps in for the day! We were lucky to visit on a day with perfect weather, not too hot or cold. I also loved how many hand washing stations were conveniently located throughout the zoo. The variety of animals is fabulous. My personal favorite was the mini pig, Porkyβ€”he's absolutely adorable. The baby goats were awesome too, although they’re little escape artists. They also have a baby station that was really relaxing. We almost adopted a baby bunny. They have them for sale at a good price, even better than the pet stores. Overall, this is such a cute local spot. While it’s definitely family-friendly, my boyfriend and I had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I’d highly recommend it for a fun day out.

β€œThey had great animals and the animals were really friendly. We enjoyed the puppet show. It was cute. The children thought the playgrounds were fun, and the gift shop was well organized and reasonably priced (my granddaughter's opinion). The bunnies were adorable as well as the monkey. A positive would be adding water stations to fill customers' water bottles and to add a pony so that taller and / or older children can enjoy a ride.”
