![]() ![]() The ticket prices are insane!!! On the weekends they charge $30/person not by the carload which is ridiculous. We arrived around 12 and as many others have stated it took about 44 min to get to the tickets. We live about 2 hours away and decided this may be a fun activity. Once you are actually with the animals for the short trip through the park, it is a good time. If you don't mind the extremely long wait times and the ridiculously high prices, then I recommend this facility. This is ridiculous price for the size of the facility, and the fact that us paying customers are helping them do their jobs by feeding the animals a portion of their daily diet. We have 4 people in the car and paid $114 just to sit in our car for about 3 1/2 hours with 2 cups of food (they are $15 per 1lb cup). This park is very tiny and is just a big circle (nothing even close to The Wilds). There were some babies animals there as well that just melted our hearts. We paid for feeding animals and we should have been permitted to do so. There were workers staning the aplaca area with tamberines that were scare the animals away when they would get to the car windows and just about ready to eat the food. The alpacas, cattle, and bison are very aggressive and will demand to be fed (the longhorns will also scratch your car to pieces.). Once you get to the animals it becomes a fun time. Some animals are behind double fences so you have no way to feed them. Once we got our tickets, if was a good hour wait before we got to any animals. We waited 90 minutes in the gate just to buy our tickets. We enjoyed the park so much that we went again the next day and ended up getting a season pass and went again the next day before we headed home. And the kangaroo do not eat the food offered so they allow you to feed something else twice, which I fed the tortoises twice- it was so much fun. My only complaint is that the porcupine are only fed at certain times and the brochures have the wrong times so we missed that. ![]() Then there was the petting zoo park which for $15 you could feed the tortoises, porcupine, bunnies, birds and kangaroos. They did have someone towards the end that sold more of cups of carrots, which we definitely bought. The food goes fast! Save some lettuce for the giraffes at the end. You collect the food at the entrance of the actual park. We also bought the single food package for $15 that comes with 1 cup of carrots, 1 cup of lettuce and 1 cup of feed. It was a good deal- it’s $20 per person and it comes with 1 cup of feed. We had a buy one get one free coupon that was in a coupon book purchased from a school fundraiser. There was little toll booth that you purchased your tickets at. The Park is under video and audio surveillance.We visited in a Wednesday, we got there around 10:30a and there was a short line that took maybe 20 minutes.
