It’s a small petting zoo but you can spend a good 30-45 min with your kids! They have sheep, goats and a few other small animals. $3 per person and $3 for a small cup with food to feed the animals. Parking is free. Be careful with the animals because they are greedy and they will snap the cup of food from your hands if you let them.

Took my one year old son here this past week. Entry fee was $3, per person. I thought that was fair. They had plenty of goats and sheep, and one lama (or alpaca). Overall it was a fun experience. It’s a small petting zoo, so don’t go in thinking you’ll spend hours there. We probably spent about 15 mins inside the text total. It’s perfect for a family outing with small children.

Friendly, fun, and heartwarming. The goats sheep, and llama were adorable and fun to feed. The woman who runs this place was so kind and friendly! She let us hold her newborn goat and spent a great deal of time with us and telling us about everything. This is definitely worth while and I would come here again!! ️

Amazing experience for a kid or adult! It so reasonably priced and with a decent amount of animals in the pen. We just love going to this place with friend and family. Have never been disappointed and clean enough without the lingering smell... highly recommend this place

We went on a horse back riding trip and the had the sweetest most gentle horses and the leaders who took us on the ride were patient with us newbies and made sure we got the horses we wanted to ride and had a little bit of background on them for us and gave a quick lesson on how to safely ride. I cant wait to do it again soon ️

My kids and I traveled from Garland to Fort Worth today and decided to check out the Stockyards. We passed the petting zoo and I parked and googled it. Excited to see that their page showed Open we payed for parking and walked over. The lady running the place told us to wait a few minutes and proceeded to tend to tasks that in my opinion, could have been done at another time. We waited about 10 minutes as she poured up food cups, swept, ran a leaf blower...it was quite odd. I understand the need for keeping the place clean, but as a family with an anxious toddler waits? We decided to leave and the kids were quite bummed but I felt it rude for her to not tend to the customers first. We strolled the stockyard and ate lunch and noticed another family in the same position as we headed back to the car. Odd.

It’s small and you walk around the fenced in animals, but the experience was perfect for 6/7 year olds and anybody who enjoys petting and/or feeding goats, sheep, llama, or cows.

The horse riding in the stockyards is fun for people with no riding experience at all. We had 4 kids, 2 had no experience and 2 are very experienced with years of lessons. My kids with the experience were bored but they were just excited to be on a horse! We had two ladies/workers take the kids & one of them was amazing. The other was kind of mean. She was yelling at the horse & yanking it around in a mean way. It made me a little nervous her doing that while one of my kids was up on it. I didnt see the horse acting up at all. Of course, she knows them better than I do, but I was petting the horse & loving all over it at the end because after all that yelling & yanking, someone needed to. The lady in the picture posted with my girls was just an amazing lady. She talked to us about growing up as a young girl, her dreams, her experiences. She really made the experience worth the expense. It is expensive for what you get. I pay less per week for horse riding lessons than what these kiddos got to do but again, they were just happy to be in the stockyards and up on horses altogether.

The petting zoo was quaint and I would have figured that there were have been more variety of animals to pet and a little bit more of advertising to show that the petting zoo was there so that it got more exposure the staff kept it well clean and animals were fed very well

DO NOT GO HERE THEY CHARGE PARENTS TO GO INSIDE AND MONITOR THEIR MINOR CHILDREN. IVE BEEN COMING HERE FOR 3 YEARS, MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR AND HAVE NEVER BEEN CHARGED. Its crazy, they can be responsible for my minor children.

Lots of animals to pet, including goats and puppies. Zoo is free but cups of food to feed them are not. Its very hot under the tent! Our kids enjoyed it for about 15 minutes.
