What a unique experience! We were guests at a birthday party and the resident goat, cats, chickens and even tortoise wondered into the party room! The animals are healthy and seem very comfortable with all the kids and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and encouraged the kids to pet and all questions about the animals. The reptile guy was the best! So excited to share his passion with the children and rescues all his lovelies. His enthusiasm was quite infectious. Being all indoors, you will smell like the zoo after you leave but the experience is well worth an extra shower!

Be prepared for a smelly experience. Id recommend either making it the last thing you do for your outing or plan on going home and showering afterwards. You will smell like a barn when youre done. My kids enjoyed the experience of seeing some really unique animals. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. A great time for sure!

We absolutely had the best time here. Got to interact with several of the creatures the staff took their time to explain all the special features of the animals we touched or saw. As well as my husband who is mortified of spiders was gently coached to hold a pink footed Tarantula!!15/10 highly recommend for the family

You can see, pet, and hold animals that you would never get to see. Awesome for kids and adults. It does smell like animals live there but other than the smell its a great place for the whole family.

Dont know if the animals are brought for showing; or if there kept here. Not a lot of parking space; but St Marys Catholic Church has a parking lot that Ive seen people park in that go here.More family oriented place, educational for kids, Ive never noticed any problems. I give it one star because I never been inside; but dont let that one star turn you away. Like I said more for families and kids.

This place was incredible. We had the best birthday here. Lots of animals that you actually get to interact with. Lots of animals just walking around waiting to greet you. Great interaction with the knowledgeable staff, would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Excellent variety of animals. Super friendly staff and volunteers. Laid back atmosphere. Not unexpected, but pungent barnyard smell can be overwhelming. Would be better in a building with higher ceilings.

This place was very neat. Our toddler loved it and had a blast running around petting the animals. They have all sorts of birds, mammals, and reptiles for kids to pet. Theyre very friendly and explained all sorts of interesting things about each animal to us. Its definitely worth taking your kids to for an hour or two.

Worth the money!!!! The staff was really friendly and super knowledgeable of all the animals. As someone who is naturally afraid of snakes I actually held 3 and enjoyed it! Spent over 2 hours and probably could have stayed all day. This place is a must see for all animal lovers! Will definitely be back!

Review №33

I have pet allergies and was so itchy and irritated while I was there, but the place is so cool I had to stay there for quite a while. I think they had a wallaby?! So neat. The resident feline obviously still runs the place though among all the other animals. I recall lemurs, tortoises, chickens, kangaroos, some brown animal in a hammock by the lemurs, rabbits, snakes, fish, raccoons, hedgehogs, and pregnant a whole bunch of stuff I missed. Love the place

Review №34

Worth the price of admission. Ever want to see a Leemer or kangaroo up close? Pet a skunk ( no smell) or hold a python? This is a great place to do it.

Just came from this place. Worth the money to see some animals that you would not normally see in the Texas panhandle. Not only can you see them but also pet many of them. Staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable.

Review №36

Was very surprised by the eclectic collection of creatures. A bit pricey (10 dollars per person over 2). Most of the staff were quite knowledgeable and all of them were very friendly. Its best described as an indoor exotic petting zoo. I certainly recommend a family trip at least once. My family will be back!
