Guided Tour or Drive-Thru?

We offer one-of-a-kind Guided Tours (tractor ride) through the park. With us, a dedicated guide will tell you all about our wonderful animals and the best ways to interact with them. You may buy tickets online or in-house for this experience! Typical wait time for a Guided Tour is about 30-45 minutes in the petting zoo. However, they are definitely worth the wait for a unique experience!

If you are interested in the Drive-Thru (your vehicle) option, hundreds of animals will invade your personal space! For this touroption, we encourage you to buy tickets online to reserve a spot. Just click the ‘Buy Tickets’ option & proceed!

What about BAD weather?

In the event of freezing or rainy weather, our Guided Tours may come to a stop! However, you are welcome to still tour in your own vehicle if that is the case. Visit our Instagram or Facebook page for the most recent updates!
