I like zoos but seeing the lions was just sad , they look so unhappy . I'm not saying they are mistreated but they def don't have a big enough place , they do have another enclosure to walk around in, or as someone else put it they get tier time which made it even more sad cause it's true. but there is so much open desert behind them give them some more room . I don't know much about housing a big lion but the deer has a bigger enclosure. But staff is super nice .

We visited from Sacramento with our two girls about a month ago because we heard there were cows to see. I can tell you that they thought it was the coolest thing to be able to feed and pet so many eager cows and goats. We saw peacocks just roaming and were lucky to see a momma and her babies cruising along the path. While the big cats looked a little sad, I'm sure if it was cooler they would have been more active. Overall, it definitely made a lasting impression that they have yet to forget. We are making another trip soon with our nephew so he can feed some goats too. Definitely a wonderful little sanctuary who is doing the best they can with the resources they have. The Aloha Shack just down the street also helps cement this place as a must visit place.

This is the only local option for a Zoo and it's small but they are caring for the animals. We went for an easter event.
Lots of goats, deer, cows and others to feed and pet. 12 dollars per adult is not bad.

But Then What? 2023 Apr 03

Relatively small, but plenty big enough that they have a good variety of cool animals!
I was recommended to visit for the Liger but, even though the Lion-Tigers are rare and interesting, there are many very intriguing creatures to view. A big bonus is spending an extra dollar or few to feed the animals at the petting zoo. Especially great for kids, but fun for everyone!

Some of my favorite animals were the frogs, hissing cockroaches, monkeys, and the big cats! I definitely recommend visiting. They get different animals too, so even if you’ve gone before, you can visit again and still have tons of fun.

Love , love, love our little Zoo. We take our grandchildren a few times a year. The cages are too small, the animals pace back and forth from boredom, and that's sad. But it's a nice little Zoo - they need money / help for improving. It's so much fun to feed the llama, goats,cow,and deer. Price is well worth a visit. Anymore, and we would stop going. They just really need money to help these animals ! To see some of the negative reviews on here really upset me. We go here quite often , the workers are always very friendly, very knowledgeable, very eager to tell my grandchildren about the animals and NEVER RUDE ! Read the negative reviews, but then read their other reviews- most are negative, unhappy people who enjoy complaining. I just wish people would donate !

We got here just in time to watch the animals get fed. Super fun and the volunteers talked us through it, telling us the animals names and favorite foods and more about the park. Good selection of animals and the petting zoo was fun!

The girl working the front desk was so sweet and she gave us so much info on the animals there. She also let us hold a hissing cockroach and showed us how playful Noah the cockatoo is❤️ Visiting this zoo was the best Mother's Day gift. The entire family enjoyed our time at the safari zoo❤️
