From the moment we arrived at the beautiful ranch we had a warm welcome from our tour guide Ron! We visited stallions, the mare motel, pet some sweet baby horses and made our way to the sloth, tortoises 🐢, camels and peacocks and giraffes. We LOVED Gerald. The absolute highlight of the tour was the capybaras, Katie and Leo DiCapybara, and the tapirs, Momma Amy and sweet baby Ally. It was an experience we will never forgot and will be telling all of our friends. Special thanks to Ron for being a great guide!

We had an amazing tour! Ron and Jessica were amazing guides and very patient! Highly recommend!
We did a private tour and absolutely loved it! We had 5 kids and 2 adults and it was the perfect time with 90 minutes to get to see a whole bunch of the animals and feel like we got enough time with each animal. Rod and Pete were amazing and sooo informative. Thank you for such a special birthday experience for our daughter!

An Absolutely unforgettable experience! Took my wife as surprise for her 40th bday and brought along a friend of ours, our son and his friend and EVERYONE couldn't stop talking about their favorite parts, animals, and experience on the 3 1/2 hour car ride home. That says a lot about the experience they had! While I was taking photos of them enjoying everything our guides were taking picture of me enjoying my time! They wanted me to not only have photos of the family having a good time but of myself as well! We will definitely return to see, support and love on the animals! Thank you all so much for making her 40th unforgettable!

This place is so amazing!!! Our tour guide was so great! He was fun and friendly and we had the best experience. We went for my mom's 60th birthday surprise and we will definitely be coming back every year now! The place is spotless clean and the animals are so much fun especially the giraffes. You get to touch every animal which I thought was the best part. Highly highly recommend
