Nice variety of animals. They are well taken care of...
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for toddlers through early elementary kids who want direct animal contact. Handlers assist with pony rides, making it accessible for very young children. City and suburban families unfamiliar with farm animals get the most out of the hands-on format. Resort day visitors and guests both can access the farm.
