Fun
Here's a possible review for a petting zoo: "I went there with my son and my husband and we had a blast there. My son loved getting up close and personal with the friendly animals. The petting zoo was well-maintained, clean, and the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. The variety of animals was great, and everyone enjoyed feeding and petting them. A perfect spot for families or animal lover.

Average experience
My fiancé and I didn’t enjoy this as much as we hoped, we thought it was more of a self guided tour and we were mainly there to see the alpacas. The tour leader was very “up her self” with her getting photos down of herself. It was just a very bizarre experience. However for the price it was okay, and the drive there was beautiful.

Richtig schön
Es ist ein übersichtlicher Streichelzoo bei dem man die kleinen Kälber, Schafe und die Alpakas streicheln kann. Außerdem leben noch Hühner und Schweine in dem Zoo. Joy hat die Führung geleitet und uns einiges zu den Tieren erzählt. Wir haben von ihr etwas Futter bekommen, um die Tiere zu füttern und sie hat am Ende von jedem viele Fotos und Videos gemacht, so dass für jeden was dabei ist. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen :)
