    Took the 7 and 9 year old grand daughters on a sunny summer day. The walk through area was well shaded and not crowded on a Sunday noon time visit. Guess we were fortunate that just about everything was perfect. Not smelly…not crowded…animals available for viewing…easy to photograph and feed. The employees were very welcoming. The drive through park was amazing. Lots of animals that stuck their heads inside the windows of the car in front f us….we kept the windows up. A really fun time for the grand daughters. See more..

    Ashville Game Farm and Exotic Zoo image
    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..

    Small zoo but my two kids (7 and almost 2) loved it. It wasn’t a massive zoo that took the entire day but left my kids talking about it all day. My older son loved the snake encounter and younger loved just about everything from the tortoise walking around to petting the kangaroo. If in the area this is the perfect stop. See more..
