  • My daughter loved feeding the animals. The goats were a bit overwhelming but still entertaining. This was also her first ever pony ride. The staff were pleasant and very informative. My only surprise was that you lead the pony ride yourself. I would have expected the trainers to handle that. Other than that the animals were all health and happy to see us all. The park was quite tidy and clean considering the nature of pens and stalls holding animals. I'll happily go back if I'm ever in town.
  • Very cool place, seems like you're driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep driving you will get there. Staff was all very happy, friendly and informative. Animals seemed happy and well cared for. Their living areas were all very clean too. You can walk through in about an hour and feed just about every animal there and they will eat from your hand. You can also go inside the goat area to pet them and you can pick up the baby goats if you wish to do so. You can go into a deer station and pet them too. This place has rabbits, turkeys, emus, Llamas, donkeys, exotic bovines, deer, goats, camels, birds, zebras and other animals. It cost about $40 for 2 adult admissions with a large souvenir feed cup and 2 sliced up apples to feed the animals. It's about 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge but worth the drive. This looks like a great place to take kids.
