Zoomars at River Street Ranch, San Juan Capistrano

Pros: Amazing access to the animals; you get to be right up close to them to feed (the basket of food to feed them is $6) and pet them, it’s awesome. Pony’s weren’t out that day. Roosters roam free on the walkways. Workers are super nice and attentive, hand washing station is great. My son loved the mini tractors to ride (an extra $5 to ride), the playground is fun but gets hot without any shade over it. The great thing is everything else has really good shade. Cons: Hard to access around the construction. Park at the park next door and then walk over, the entrance is to the left of the cafe. This place is actually expensive for what it is, you pay extra for EVERYTHING. Everything. Cool looking stuff like: tractor ride (+$5), excavator ride (+$3) and difficult to figure out before the ride times you out and turns off, animal feed (+$6), the list of extra costs goes on. The only thing really included in your entry cost is petting the animals and going on the playground, which makes this a pretty expensive petting zoo.

This place is incredible! The staff is so nice seem to love all the animals! It's such a great environment! It's a fun and interactive place! My son absolutely loves coming here, as do my husband, baby, and I. We love how we can feed the animals and pet them. Every time we go there, we can't wait to return back!
