This is a fun place to go in town but it took me about a year to find it open on a day when we had time. The boys enjoyed it for about 30-45 minutes so it was a nice mini outing. There were lambs, goats, hens, donkeys, a horse, a pair of peacocks and a few more things. The boys even found a few little lizards running around! The grounds were well kept and it was very enjoyable. After seeing the animals we walked over to the park to play on the slides and swings. It was a great morning adventure. It would only be neater if it didn't have such funky hours since it is only open on the 2nd/4th Saturdays & Sundays of each month 11:00 am - 3:00 pm!
