We came here to see the Christmas light display. The Christmas light display was nice but really not worth the cost. It’s winter so more than half the animals were gone and I just don’t think the cost was worth it. I’d like to make a returning trip in the summer to see the rest of the animals.See more..

The kids and I enjoyed a leisurely day spent among animals that one doesn't typically see. We were attracted to the venue originally as some of the animals came from a family member's zoo that was closed due to health problems with the family member - was great to see what a good home the animals would have (my son played with the baby wolves and other animals). The tractor ride was fun, with the driver being exceptionally friendly and fun. Great little park - a fun, relaxing day.See more..
