You can purchase buckets of food to feed the animals which is a great experience! A lot of animals with a petting zoo at the end right near the giraffe. They have picnic tables which are perfect for bringing lunches for the kids! It's cash and check only so I would make sure to have cash on hand. Horse and pony rides for the kids as well! We had a great time! It might get really hot in the middle of summer but so much fun and a lot to learn from the guide.

My 3 year old girl and my 5 year old boy loved it. It's primitive, no amenities, no food or snack bar available, but someone forgot to tell my children. They went crazy when all the animals wanted to eat right out of their hands. Pack a lunch and drinks.

...don't scare with animals easily, this is a good place to check out although the animals may be too close for comfort for some people. There's a petting zoo with lots of baby goats in the spring which my boys loved(watch your clothes they like to eat them). With admission kids get a free pony ride and there's a huge alligator & a giraffe baby you can actually see up close. Although, some of the animals in the tram ride are intimidating it was still fun. There's also camels, longhorns, deer, antelope, rhinos, kudu, elk, and water buffalo to name a few running free in the park.
