We had a great time. Kids loved all the animals. The camel was sweet, nuzzled my head after feeding her

The animals look safe and well looked after. Not too terribly big, but an enjoyable trip for any family. As with any attraction of this nature, be prepared for random poop around and for some of the animals to be slightly aggressive with each other when trying to eat out of your hand. I recommend sunscreen and bug spray, as shade can be a bit sparse and these are wild animals and thus attract flies and the such. Wear clothes youre not afraid to get dirty or nibbled on.

Great family time, one of the best places to take kids and animal lovers to visit. They have a gift shop with drinks, snacks, ice cream and more. You can purchase bags of feed for the goats and deer. And sticks of Bird seed for the bird cage. We are regulars after our 1st visit. Highly recommend if in the cape area.

The facilities were clean and well run. My group loved feeding the animals.

Our kids enjoyed the animals and feeding them

A lot stuff to do friendly people great for partys or anything you want celebrate

Awesome little petting zoo. We had such a threat family time here. Adults were like $9 and you could buy food bags and treats to feed the animals. Lots of animals to see. We had such a blast in the goat area. Deer zebra camels llama bunnies too. Definitely recommend. You only need one hour and you will have a blast I think we stayed 2 hours. They have picnic tables to sit and rest and bring a lunch...they did have snacks in the concession / souvenir area and water.

Lots of fun at a decent price.

Went there with family from California and spent 3 hours there. It is amazing

Lots of animals to feed and things to do. Spent an hour there and my 4 year old and almost 2 year old loved it!

Good little getaway for the kids. They loved feeding the animals.

Neat place to stop for a few hours. Bring a few bucks for a bag of food and bird seed stick. Most aninals can be pet or fed. Cindy the camel was super cool and the goats, deer, alpacas, and kangaroo were cool too.

The animals all need attention and care. Had a few aggressive species, but was still a good time for the entire group! It was fun, although I felt sad at the state of some of their animals.

My grandson and I absolutely loved this place!!! Great job to a all the animal keepers, your doing a great job, and we really enjoyed ourselves

Great place Debbie was excellent at telling us about the place. A very different experience. Much better than any regular zoo

Had lots of fun. Wide variety of animals to see and feed. Only takes a couple of hours at the most.

Nice place. 3yr old loved it.

We always enjoy coming here! We especially enjoy the parakeet cage and feeding them and the other animals as well. There was a very cute little newborn kid that we really enjoyed too.

The kids loved our visit here

It was pretty cool for the kids. Probably one need about 1.5 hours there.

Went to see this petting zoo for the first time today and was highly disappointed w/ the appearance of the place and the treatment and care of the animals. Cages were filthy including rust and mold, and a lot of the animal enclosures were very small for how many they keep in them. Inside the barn were a lot of big birds kept in crammed cages that looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned in months. Saw a bird that had a raw and injured neck (I’m guessing from the other bird it shared the cage w/) and a goat w/ horns that were growing into its neck and causing a bleeding wound. Would not recommend paying to visit this petting zoo at all.

Loved it will be back next time!!

It’s fun if you don’t mind enclosures being overcrowded and dirty. They say their proceeds go to conservation which is nice. I just wish it was bigger and nicer. If you’re on a budget and don’t want to drive all the way to Grants Farms might as well check it out.

It was very nice loved it all animals were awesome nice very social

Nice place to take the family to have fun.

I love this place, it is fun for all types of family and friends. Is a great, and cheap place to go on a small little vacation on the outskirts of Cape. Plus, It is fairly cheap and you can stay there for two hours easily doing the things that they have to do. We fed the parakeets and they have a little goat petting zoo, and turtle races. It is actually super cool to see some nice things come to Cape Girardeau.

Really fun place to take kids and experience different animals, but I will never get the image of the seemingly depressed badger out my head. So, so sad. Maybe badgers dont belong in a cement and wire pen.

My niece and nephew always have a good time when we come here with our family. They learn about and like feeding the animals. The Parakeets are their favorite because they come flying by sometimes they land on the feed stick others times they land on their hand, shoulder, or one time on one of their heads. Its an hour or so from where we are from but it is always fun to visit this little zoo.

We visited the safari park today July 10,2019. We were very disappointed.While it was nice to walk through, there seemed to be animals that were neglected. We saw a bird with ( what looked like) a broken toe , a goat that was skin and bones and another goat in another part that had an overgrown hoof. As i said we visited so Im not sure if they were being treated or what was going on. We will not travel the 1 1/2 hours again to see this place.

I used to take my nieces and nephew here when they were younger. It was a nice, clean place. The employees were nice and there was a wide variety of animals. Its been several years since Ive been and took my youngest niece last weekend. Overpriced. $32 for 2, mostly birds, mining thing was a joke, employees were rude, place was dirty, the only thing that was cool, was the parakeet cage. Thats why it gets 2 stars I stead of one. For $32, I can fill up my car, drive to St Louis, spend the day at the Zoo and drive home. Which is what I will be doing from now on.

School trip! Loads of fun...granddaughter loved it. The camel sneezed snot all over me...thought the kids would never stop laughing

The staff are friendly, but they have gone downhill from the last time we visited a few years ago. Admission seems pretty high for what little they offer. We werent able to go into the petting area with the pygmy goats, the deer were in the area around the caged animals so the kids could barely see them through the deer begging for food. The parakeets had feeders full of food and therefore didnt care for the food sticks. So that was a waste of money. Just not all that impressed this time around, which makes me sad, because it has a ton of potential.

It could have been better, but they had things blocked off and its getting over crowded with animals, you would think with the business they get they could start updating. But my kids enjoyed it.

This is a very cute place to take children. They have quite a bit of different animals for the kids to pet. I enjoyed feeding the deer the most. And I found out you can rent a miniature horse for like a birthday party or they can even turn it into a unicorn.... So cool

The kids Get to interact with the animals

The kids liked it, although they were bummed that they couldnt get into the petting zoo only between the 2 doors. Its also a little pricey for what they offer.

Horrible conditions for such animals. I have been to plenty of safaris and this place is so cruel to their animals. Not many have any kind of room to roam. And thw one that do are pretty much ignored by staff. They seem like they are starving.

The grandkids love all the animals but I must say that in my opinion, its over crowded forcing some animals to lay in their own feces. Some of the cages and pens are unkept.

Great place for adults and kids. Nice variety of animals.

Always a great time!

A wonderful place to spend the day enjoying animals and nature with the family.

Today was my first time visiting Lazy L safari in two years of living in Jackson, MO. I’m a huge animal lover and had family in town so we figured it’d be a good place to visit. Wrong. I was appalled at the conditions of the animals in the barn. Never in my life have I been to a petting zoo or animal attraction with such poor living conditions for their animals. The parrots and the llamas probably were the worst. The cages had mold in the bottom, looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in months, the birds also had sores on their necks from pecking each other due to too small an enclosure for that size parrots. Goats in the barn, had horns growing into their faces causing sores and hair loss. Llamas paddocks were wet and not clean at all. Their fur was matted and wet looking as well. My family is very animal friendly and photographed the wounds, filth and small paddocks. The alligators had a small pool of water in a concrete dog cage. If your going to have exotic animals or any animals for that matter, make sure their living conditions are close to their habitat and clean. It’s in humane and wrong to own animals and allow them to live like that because their “just animals” and make you money. My photos will be posted online and I hope I can find someone to help these animals and get them the care they need. If anything comes from this review I hope it’s that. My little sister went to a worker their and asked why the birds cages were so nasty and moldy. The worker told her the birds came with those cages and they weren’t there’s so basically not their fault. She didn’t act concerned or like she really cared. It was just another complaint from an annoying customer to her. Take this review and DO GO to this safari and look for yourself. As much as I don’t want money to go to their pockets the public needs to be more aware of the conditions these animals are living in to “entertain” the public. They don’t deserve a star at all. They deserve the chance to clean it up or close down and give those animals to facilities that will and can properly care for them.

Fun small park where the kiddos can pet and feed!

There is a variety of animals... But most of them are in horrible enclosures. The little cow guy inside the barns halter was way to tight and starting to cut into his nose. I let the staff know. There is also a goat running around the large pen with a busted up leg. If you are looking for a Family friendly, Animal friendly petting zoo type place to spend the day and take the family, try Critter Lane north of Bonne Terre Mo.

Fun place

Fun little place to go if you like wild life

My sister and I took my girls last fall and had a great time!! The animals were well taken care of and the staff was extremely friendly. I made friends with Lucy, the Camel.

This place is horrendous. Small, dirty enclosures. So sad. Critter Lane outside of Bonne Terre is a wonderful place to take your family to see animals.

I was good a there were a verity of animals at leats cuz their were animals a - z

Was fun for our son who was 6 months old but its pretty dirty.. different from the way you think a zoo would be.. not much order.. the staff was friendly but overall really wanted to call animal control the whole time I was there.. it was kind of sad honestly.

Smells terrible, also feel like the animals could be a little better taken care of. We accidentally let the goats out of the gate and the man kicked them back in.

Really great place to take your kids or grandkids but there is a goat thats hooves are so long he cant hardly walk he is so skinny and 1 of his hooves is broken so bad in the quick he cant hardly stand on it.and the red kangaroo looked sick and his hind end looked as if its turning inside out.and you can smell pot really bad.

Fun little getaway right by Jackson and Cape Girardeau.

Our girls had a wonderful time there..we definitely plan on going back.

Total waste of money and time. Animals are caged and nasty. Only seen one employee at time to pay and then she disappeared. We left 15 minutes after arriving.

Friendly place. Easy for kids to interact with animalse

No water for the animals it was 100 degrees at 2 pm .over priced. not worth the money we paid the little goats didnt have anything for shade and didnt have any water

Nice people & fun animals.

This place is absouletly terrible the animals have terrible living conditions that they are living in. The llamas and alpacas were matted and dirty no cages were clean. The goats have no shade even though its hot as can be right now. The alligators had a small dog pin with NASTY water in it that was barely even enough for them to get it. I will NEVER go here again and will not support that kind of treatment to animals. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Great place to take the kids. Lots of fun.

Nice little place to bring the kids. The feed the parakeets thibg was cool. Go into a little area with seed on a stick and they fly onto the stick to eat the seed. Pretty cool.

Fun place to look at the animals and relax. Favourite was the deer and goats.

Lots of animals to see. Barn was a bit crowded and one of the camels but my daughter.

Its a cute little farm with unusual animals. It smells like a farm and looks like a farm. Its a very low key relaxing morning. Animal feed is available for purchase.

Feeding the animals was fun. I did leave feeling sorry for the animals.

Soo much fun.

THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!! The staff is very nice and the animals are super sweet and gentile. Prices are more than reasonable so is a great place to take the family for a bit.

Absolutely had a blast best family day we had had in a long time

Fantastic place to bring the kids and get a unique experience.

It was nice for the overall price. Had different animals and was able to feed most.

This place is awesome for kids an family members of all ages. the price is very reasonable you can stay as long as you like theres plenty to see an do with the animals theres even a play ground area for children an also there is a covered picnic table area for drinks an snacks they even offer pony and camel ride nice friendly family enviroment. well worth your money time an travel there

The comfort of the animals is questionable. Over crowding, not enough shade, and lack of fresh cold water. Habitats were lacking. Animals had bare minimum. Not worth $7. Dirty and heartbreaking.

The animals werent in an adequate environment, and didnt appear to be healthy. Having plenty of attractions has taken precedence over proper amount of animals per acre. The cages for the other animals were tiny and with concrete floors. If all you desire, as the consumer, is a place to see exotic animals, and you dont care about the aforementioned, this is the place for you.

The parakeet room at Lazy L was one of the most memorable parts of my summer! Good cheap, family friendly fun!

Fun place for children. Very informative about the animals. Cute gift shop, too.

It was fun for my family and very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place for a family outing.

Great staff. Animals all seem very well cared for. Reasonable prices and kid friendly :)

Make sure the weather is nice before you go. Mostly outside. Bit very cool

I really enjoy this place. Fun for the kids

It was decent but I dont think it was worth $7 each. Even my 2 year old had to pay full price.

Had a good time. Price was reasonable. Didnt take long to walk thru so we went twice and missed some animals from the first walk thru. Took our time 2nd go around.

Pretty good mostly a petting zoo. Although the grandchildren enjoyed it.

Great place to take your grand kids, a lot of fun at a fair price. Great day!

Small but nice agri-petting zoo environment. Loved the walk thru interactive bird cage.

Amazing

We had so much fun

Fun place especially for kids. I love feeding the birds and animals.

Its was nice and my kids loved it.

Great place for kids and adults. Love all the interaction with the animals

Kids loved it

Its a wonderful place to take kids. They just need better parking

A little pricey but Im sure the need it to take good care of the animals. My granddaughter and my kids really enjoyed our trip. Im sure well be back.

This is a great little place to take the kids and get up close and personal with the animals and very inexpensive also

Had a great time, and its definitely a kid friendly experience. However, my one complaint is the condition that some of the animals are in. The animals in the front by the driveway are over exposed to the sun and dont have enough water.

Good place to take the young ones they have a great little petting zoo

Great place for kids, friendly staff, very affordable

Kids had a great time playing with the goats and seeing all the animals

Great place for families

Reminded me of a small scale rundown Grants Farm without the free beer. No restroom, only port-a-potty.

I brought my 3 kids here and we all had a lot fun. Their favorite part was feeding the animals.
