Dutch Creek Farm Animal Park

It is the most beautiful place for children at all. There are a lot of animals and my children enjoyed a lot. When you enter, you will pay two dollars for each child who wants to feed the animals and ride horses. There is a small and a large horse for $ 5, and there is a lot of fun with the small animals. Then we took ice cream. Soon we didn't feel it and the Amish people were so nice 🤗my kids were asking me to go again

Absolutely loved it. We had never been. We brought family from out of town. A friend recommended it. You get to go in a wagon ride thru the farm and feed the animals from the wagon. They give you the feed. The animals that were in the cages could have fruit loops and carrots. You could buy them there too. Lots of fun stuff to see and do. We stayed for a couple hours. They have a place to wash your hands. The bathroom is a port-a-potty. It's ran by a sweet Amish family.

I took my 13 and 11 year old grandkids yesterday.  I've never been before but friends recommended it. The wagon ride was a good experience overall. They made many stops and we were able to feed the animals that came up to the wagon. The problem I experienced was with the petting farm area. It was quite warm and most of the animals did not have shelter from the Sun.  If there was a shelter, all of the animals couldn't fit in it. Many of the animals did not have water. There were birds without water. And there was no supervision around that area. Many of the kids were chasing birds in the aviary even though there were signs and their parents were there. Several of the animals had goopy eyes and maggots.  I have seen other reviews with the same concerns so I hope someone addresses it soon.

I've been going there for three summers in a row and every time it's so much fun, the interaction with the different animals is amazing! Don't forget the wagon ride!

We had the best time at Dutch Creek Farm!  The animals were interactive and seemed happy and well taken care of. My husband grew up on a farm and was so happy to see this. Our 3 year old loved being able to pet all of the animals. The wagon ride was most definitely the highlight. I was shocked that food for the animals is included.

Kentucky Down Under Adventure Zoo

Love going to this place, it’s a bit pricey, but worth it because you get up and close with the animals and it’s never as crowded as the zoo. The animals are fun and friendly (the ones they let you interact with). Being able to feed kangaroos is such a cool experience, getting to be up close and pet a giant horse was also great since us city folk don’t get to do that often 🤪

My family of 7 had so much fun petting the kangaroos and thought the cave tour was super cool on our vacation. The staff was very friendly and patient with my kids, too! Great place to visit for any age!

But the bonus was the KDU maintenance crew who went above and beyond after they had clocked out for the day. When we got to our van after they closed, we had a flat tire. We were hoping to just get a little air to make it to an auto shop for a patch. They not only helped us air it up, they helped fix the tire. We tried to pay them and they refused! We are so grateful for them!

This was a great experience for the family. It’s near Mammoth Cave, and a slow place where you can see exotic animals like Kangaroos, Ostriches, camel, and many birds. The gift shop is a nice place to stop by after riding your golf cart around to have some fudge. Highly recommend getting the golf cart, lots of land to walk if you don’t have wheels.

My 11 year old daughter and I spent an afternoon here. We were there from 1:15-5, which was plenty of time to do every without rushing. However we could have easily spent the entire day 9-5 going to each exhibit repeatedly. The staff were incredibly friendly and engaging. They were patient and would answer every question with a smile on their faces! The animals are very friendly, you could tell that much love and kindness are given to them by the staff. The bathrooms were clean, the cafe was reasonably priced and tasty, and the gift shop was not overwhelming! Lastly, we absolutely loved being able to rent a golf cart to drive the beautiful grounds! We will definitely return bringing family and friends!

Great place!! We got there a bit late so we went straight to the animal show, that lady was amazing… the kids get to pet the snake and take pictures too, then we went to the Cave Tour…. That young lady was so incredible sweet too, my little girl felt down the stairs and she was very sweet helping and making her feel better, then we went to the sheep herding demostration… blossom was amazing, she played with my kids at the end, the young man was amazing, we loved it, our last stop was the kangaroos and it was my kids favorite, the lady there was incredible, super sweet and helpful…. My only complaint will be the two girls at the front, not friendly at all, actually kinda rude, like they don’t want to be there… a boomer because they’re the first faces you see, just know everybody else inside is totally different

R Lazy J Wildlife Ranch

What an amazing experience!! Money very well spent! Staff were super nice & knowledgeable about the animals. All the animals were so adorable & nice! So not miss out on this place if you’re in the area!!

This is an amazing adventure for the whole family,  education groups, parties, etc. The staff is super attentive and knowledgeable, and you get face to face with wildlife. For a small cost you can feed them if you choose. I'd recommend it to anyone.  Christmas the Camel will take carrots out of your mouth if you dare.

I’m a native Arizonan and I’ve never been to Eagar. Today we traveled less than an hour from Pinetop to Eagar to visit the R Lazy J Wildlife Ranch. We had changed the time of our tour and even though they had no other guests registered at that time they still accommodated our guided tour of the ranch. The animal species were predominately cooler climate animals from all over the world and our guide provided information about each and a time to visit and feed each animal. It was a small
town hospitality feel and we were appreciative of the time and patience they took with our special needs son. If you’re in northeastern AZ and especially if you have littles don’t miss this hidden gem!

On recommendations from a few friends and doing some research I decided to go and check this place out. I was not disappointed. I booked a tour online with their set timed guided tours. Easier this way. Or call. The tour was nice with a very knowledgeable tour guide. We went on an outdoor truck with a few other people. This is a great tour for children and adults. All kinds of animals from all over the world. Including Oryx, Cloud Leopards, Sloths and more. They have treats you can purchase to hand out to some of them including the camels, llamas and pigs. A small petting zoo and  you can purchase bird sticks to feed the parakeets out of your hands. A must see for families and you are helping the conservation of these animals to repopulate zoos and help endangered animals also. They also have a small gift shop. For extra money you can purchase an encounter to get closer to the sloths or the Ring Tailed Lemurs.

This is a top place to bring kids and parents alike! I would strongly recommend paying for the guided tour. Shorty was our guide and she new just about everything there was to know about the animals. You get to feed them hand cut carrots and they sure do love it! They have a wide variety of exotic animals and birds that I have never seen before. Pluss they have a lot of babies right now! All the staff are friendly and very helpful. It's worth the day trip from the valley to come to this fun place!

Australian Adventure

The zoo is always a fun way to spend a Sunday. Even better when it's the company picnic.

Such a nice atmosphere, so well kept and nicely cared for incredible place, in the Australian Adventure in the Children's Zoo...colorful fish in the aquarium; Sting Rays in Stingray Bay; Australian Dingo exhibit of those beautiful dogs; amazing kangaroos; colorful exotic birds; boat rides available; picturesque landscaping; perhaps even an occasional chipmunk as there a number throughout the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo!!

Best part of the fort wayne zoo! We could ride the boat ride all day long, its Amazing!

You get to see animals pretty close up, which was cool. It took us 2 hours to get through the whole zoo and we did not regret the stop on our road trip. The ticket staff was rude or this would be 5 star. This is in the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo.

The food court is so awesome, love the renovations. Stingray bay is fantastic and I love the Tasmanian exhibit. My favorite part of the Australian adventure would be the Kangaroos. Glad they haven’t changed that at all.

Fort Wayne Children's Zoo

We went on December 15th 2023 and while not all the animals were out due to it being winter and too cold for them we enjoyed it so much. The zoo keepers were amazing and welcoming, there were enough animals, birds and fish to see to have a blast. We took a ride on a mini train, pet the sting rays, brushed the goats and just enjoyed the cozy atmosphere! There were even some things we didn't take advantage of that were available like free carousel rides, letters to Santa station, princesses Anna and Elsa and a visit with Santa.
We had a great time and I highly recommend visiting!

We had a good day. Very family friendly! Landscaping was pretty. There was an employee talking about the animals with the kangaroos & giraffes. At this zoo you walk on paths that feel like trails (paved for the vast majority of the areas). It's not just one big open area. There are a couple good food places, a coffee shop, and a few snack stands and ice cream stands. Chicken fingers, fries, hot dog, and peanut butter and jelly were all good and as to be expected in this type of environment. There were a ton of bees around these eateries. Watch out so you don't get stung. We also rode the carousel, a train ride, and a "boat" ride. All were really fun! They also have a chair lift, but it was shut down while we were there.

The Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is an absolute gem and a must-visit for families. This fantastic zoo offers a delightful and educational experience that both children and adults will cherish. With a diverse array of animals and engaging exhibits, it's a place that manages to strike the perfect balance between entertainment and learning.

One of the standout features of this zoo is the remarkable diversity of species it houses. From playful penguins to majestic lions, the zoo covers a wide spectrum of wildlife. The exhibits are well-designed, providing animals with spacious and enriched environments, which is not only great for the creatures but also enhances the visitor's experience.

The staff at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo deserves special praise. They are not only knowledgeable but also passionate about the animals they care for. This enthusiasm is infectious and makes interactions with the animals more enjoyable. The zookeepers often provide fascinating insights during their feeding and enrichment sessions.

For families, the zoo offers an abundance of interactive opportunities. The Australian Adventure and African Journey exhibits, in particular, allow visitors to get up close and personal with animals. There are also playgrounds, a train ride, and a sky ride, all of which add to the fun.

Cleanliness and maintenance are top-notch, making the zoo a safe and pleasant environment for everyone. Additionally, the pricing is reasonable, and annual memberships are a great value.

In conclusion, the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is a place of wonder and discovery. It educates, entertains, and ignites a passion for wildlife in children and adults alike. If you're in the area, don't miss the opportunity to explore this exceptional zoo.

Great place for kids! The layout is great compared to others. Food prices are decent and good options. Tons of shady spots all around the park to sit and relax in. Nice little water/stream feature for the kids to cool down in, also in the shade.  Carousel only 3$ per rider, and if you're standing (not sitting) with your kid you are free. There's also a log ride and train also 3$ per rider and opening soon there is going to be a huge rope course. Lots of photo opportunities and animals to pet!
The only thing I would change/add is the bee population is wild out there (early September when I visited) couldn't eat/sit without being flown at but it didn't effect our visit. And I wish there was an actual playground.

I loved the experience! The new updates to the Zoo was pretty amazing. The Red Panda Ridge is really cool even for the Bigger Kiddos. The options of food has also improved immensely! The option to bring a packed lunch is great for picky eaters. The rides were safe and reliable. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park

This is more clean than your local zoo…
This park is phenomenal!
Animals are in good spirits and well taken care of.
Beautiful playgrounds for kids to play on.
There is fair pricing on the food, snacks and gift shop items.
Staff is very friendly and it was an overall enjoyable experience.

Honestly cannot say how grateful I am enough for Boulder ridge. I've been able to cuddle some cute animals that are clearly treated very well or else they wouldn't be so warm with new visitors. The fact that I can lay down next to/on a tapir who just met me minutes before and he loves it and shows no sign of hesitation is phenomenal. Each time I learn more about the animals and what they do to rehab them. They are a truly great business.

This zoo was so much fun. We went on the weekend and were able to see the Alligators being fed. I wish I would have known how much stuff was cash only. I do not carry cash usually. They have an ATM but it would have been nice to know in advance.

This animal park is a can't miss destination for the entire family. Be sure to plan an entire day as it will take 3-4 hours to get through the park. They have excellent ADA accommodations and all the walkways are paved. This is a well run family owned animal park that is a great place for the entire family.

A-Mazing!! We loved this place! Beautiful animals, my 3 year old granddaughter can't wait to go back! Very easy to get to and prices aren't terrible! It was princess and superhero day and it was great!

Little crooked creek safari

This place is wonderful!  The animals are amazing!  Plenty of animals.  Camels, kangaroos, porcupines, lamas, donkeys, zebras, just to name some.  You can pet and feed all, if they feel like cooperating.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will be glad to go again.

My daughter and I came here on a Sunday to see all the animals and was welcome by some great workers and a bucket of feed for the animals. We had an amazing time and there were so many different animals to stay busy for a while. Great place to make some memories.

We found this place on Facebook, and am so glad we did! We ended up staying for 2 hours because we enjoyed it so much. All of the animals were friendly, even the porcupines! We will definitely be back!

Staff was great, lots of different animals was a great trip

Our family had a great time at our trip to the Little Crooked Creek Safari. It was such a fun experience both of my children enjoyed. The staff was kind and helpful, and the animals were so fun to watch and interact with. We definitely plan to come back!

Yellowstone Bear World

We went here on a whim because we were headed in this direction and had an extra hour to do something. Was a great way to see the wildlife up close!  Bears, white elk, deer, and bison. The bear cubs were playful and fun to watch. The new dinosaur exhibit was much better than I expected for such a remote place. Fun rides here for little kids (6 and under).

Outstanding well kept secret we've told everybody about! 👏 For the most part,  the staff is friendly! All around are clean facilities, structures, and habitats for the various  animals! All the animals appeared to be well fed and cared for! Feeding the "baby bears" was definitely the highlight of the trip for us! BUT YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE! Very seldom can you show up and expect to feed the bears! The food was decent, and as you would expect, overpriced beyond belief! The "merchandise shop," on the other hand, was reasonably priced and quite affordable!

I've gone a few times in different seasons, but it's still the same. The bathrooms are a mess and super dirty. The staff is pretty rude, and their merchandise barely ever is updated. but it was cool to look around at the cubs and drive through the wildlife. The dinosaur park in it has quite a few dinosaurs with some movement and sounds. We liked the chubby bears 🐻

We attended as a homeschool field trip. The drive through to see the bears was exciting for my girls (10&3). The petting area was fun with little piglets and momma, deer and goats. The girls had fun feeding them and also the fish and ducks in the river. We got there at feeding time and it was so cute to watch the baby bear cubs drinking their bottles. You can pay extra to feed the bear cubs, but we didn't do this. The new dinosaur exhibit was neat with life-sized animatronic dinos to see and even a few of the little coin ride kind. The small carnival rides we did last were fun and the girls left happy for the day out.

Amazing place. Great opportunity to see some majestic wildlife up close! You can take as many laps in your car as you want, that will take you right by bison, dear and a TON of bears. There is also a petting zoo with deer, goats, ducks etc. A few rides for the kids and a dinosaur place under construction for 2024.

IF YOU'RE GOING ALL THE WAY OUT HERE -- spoil yourself and cough up the extra $75 to feed the baby bears. You'll remember that for the rest of your life!!!

This place actually made my mum-in-law cry out of sheer joy over all the beautiful animals and getting to bottle feed the cubs.

Idaho Falls Zoo at Tautphaus Park

Such a well kept and friendly zoo! All of the animals seemed like they were getting enrichment and genuinely seemed happy and healthy! The staff were really nice too. We loved the layout as well and how easy it was to navigate and see everything. Also extremely clean and well kept!

This little zoo is fabulous.   I was pleasantly surprised at the assortment of animals that this Zoo has.  The way it is set up is perfect.  On a hot day you are in the shade which was very nice.  The landscaping was beautiful.   My little family and I totally enjoyed every aspect of the zoo.  The grounds were well maintained. If you haven't been, you should go.  You won't be disappointed

The zoo itself was nice and shady. Able to walk around, see animals, the Lion and Lioness were pretty cool. The tamarins are my favorite. I will say the zoo is smaller and enclosures are as well. however the kids zoo was cool.  The public bathrooms were pretty gross unfortunately.

This is the best zoo I have been to based on how happy and healthy the animals are. They have great exhibits and all seemed to be well fed and cared for. A++ will be back yearly.

My now grown up children loved playing here when they were little. Funland is a community treasure. I'm so glad they remodeled it. Please bring back burgers, corn dogs and cotton candy.

Wendt's Wildlife Adventure

The facility was really clean and well-kept. We came on a weekday morning, and it wasn’t overly crowded, so we were able to see everything without too much interaction with other guests.
They have some very interesting animals, like sloths, African porcupines, kangaroos, camels, zebras, and exotic birds. There are a lot of goats, and sometimes the babies get out of the pen and roam around. They are adorable and really eager to devour anything that might be remotely edible.
There is a bird encounter area where you can feed birds and they will land on you, and the kids had a blast with that. There is also a kangaroo enclosure. They have a little play area with slides, swings, and a train play set. There are picnic tables and clean, spacious bathrooms.
Admission is free for age 2 and under, kids are $10, seniors and military $11, and adults $12. You can also buy animal feed for $3/serving. These prices add up quickly for a family, so be aware - also at the entrance, there’s a very well-appointed gift shop with lots of sugary treats and brightly colored things kids will ask for.
If you really want to see a zebra, or a camel, or a sloth, or have a bird land on your hand, and you don’t mind paying for it, then I’d definitely recommend this place. Otherwise, you could go to a local orchard for cheaper.
Orchards usually have petting zoos (the Wildlife Adventure is probably half goats, anyway) and the orchards’ playgrounds are much bigger. Since we live in Lexington, we will probably just go to the orchard next time we want to do an outdoor/livestock activity, because it’s closer and cheaper- but I am glad we experienced this!

What a great time we had here today!  The parakeets were definitely the highlight but all the animals seemed happy and friendly and well cared for!  Also, the handlers all seemed knowledgeable and answered all our questions.  I was a bit bummed we didn’t get to see Otto the otter but hopefully the next visit!  I was personally fascinated by the two toed sloths and literally watched one eat for a good 10 minutes lol!  I highly recommend this place.. the grounds are beautiful, they have plenty of shade, the animals are awesome, and it’s just a great place to get outside with the family without completely breaking the bank.

It was wonderful!  Very peaceful (except for the squawking macaws lol).  I went mainly for the sloths, but loved seeing all the animals!  Make sure to get some carrots and seed sticks before you go in.  We got there about 11am.  The sloths were awake so we were able to feed them. When we left at about 1:30, they were sleeping.  It might be a good idea to bring a picnic lunch since they only have small snacks.  Also, go to the parakeet encounter.  The parakeets actually land on you to eat from the seed stick.  Very fun!  Highly recommend!!

Love this place. It gets better every time! It was best $25 I’ve spent all summer. & there’s new animals every time we go! They had a toucan, otter, strange looking cow, ostriches & zebras! None of them were there last time we visited. All the animals are so sweet & friendly!

Beautiful hidden treasure of a park. Lots to do at this animal park. Pack a lunch and hang out at the many places to chill for a bit. 10-12 bucks a person so very reasonable. Great place to take children, even small children. We went once last year and are taking our whole family next time. Big slides and swings for kids. Lots of fun for a few hours.
Staff were excellent and very nice. The gift shop needs a warning because there's so much fun stuff to look at and so tempting. Great place for a nephew to spend a few birthday bucks.
