Unexpected Fun!
I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard for this long! I was warned that the animals would beg for bread, but I wasn't prepared for them sticking their faces inside the car! It was hilarious for the passenger, although I have to warn it was a little stressful for the driver having to avoid "dobies" in the road! We were delighted to see almost all the animals roaming freely - but were sad to see the few tigers, lion and wolves in such small cages. Maybe those were rescued animals? I forgot to ask about that. We have dozens of priceless, hilarious pictures of zebras, yak and deer eating from our hands. Wonderful stress-buster for me. Truly unique memories.

Incredible, Fun Experience but the Predators Need Bigger, Shaded Cages
It was fun feeding the deer, llamas, yaks, and bison the $4 per loaf wheat bread. We bought 2 loaves for 2 people, but we would have used 4 loaves, since we could not feed the deer or elk at the end since we ran out. We came around 2 pm - 3:30 pm and the animals were still hungry even though many were resting. If you are brave enough to take your car in the bison and elk area where we used 1.5 loaves of bread, then you can see and feel a bison's big soft tongue as he used it to get the bread. He is extremely drooly. I had a saliva-covered hand, arm, pant leg, and car side. You will be very wet! For a several thousand pound animal with sharp horns and a jaw that could crush, I was grateful he was very gentle and not aggressive. He did keep his head in my car window, so we could not keep driving especially the car in front of us stopped. I was happy we were not there in the morning, since there could have been car damage if you have a herd of hungry bison, elk and deer crowding around your car to be fed. There are warning signs as you enter the area and you do not have to go in the area. When we ran out of bread, we drove with out windows up, so we didn't have animals putting their heads into our car. We got a lot of laughs and it was a unique experience, however, I left feeling very sad for the animals and their cage conditions. It was the end of July, and seeing the badly panting and pacing bears in their tiny penned areas with no/limited shade or trees or toys. One only had a low curved metal structure for shade which would only hold in the heat. I don't think he would fit under it. None were standing and happily waving for food. They were all pacing and looked distressed and very hot. The wolves were also in small enclosures but with a wooden structure for shade that was open so the people in the cars could see them but no privacy for them. They were panting and pacing as well. The other predator animals were in similar living conditions and pacing. The other animals like the llamas and deer had bigger pens to walk around, but the bears, wolves, and other predators had such small enclosures in which to spend their lives with not enough shade or stimulation that it was sad. If the predator animals had larger enclosures, shady areas, and looked relaxed instead of distressed, I would have said it was great and given 5 stars. The experience of being so close and feeding the animals was 5 stars. Get 4+ loaves of bread and feed more animals. Two was not enough if you go to the bison and elk area. Also, I checked the Olympic Game Farm website before deciding to go, and the animals are not used for game hunting, and they are receive other balanced- nutritious food in the evenings or during the day as well.
