Two by Two Petting Zoo

Took our 7 year old grandson there today for his birthday weekend. In it's prime, I believe this was a great place to go. They do have a lot of animals. However, it is in great need of repair/makeover. There were areas such as the 'front porch' that have not been used for a long time but has two large fire pits, rocking chairs, and a patio with lights. They no longer offer guided tours as advertised and the wagon ride is for parties only. The pony ride was very short. In fairness we did not schedule a trail ride. They have 2 bobcats that we only saw because an employee happened to stop by and feed them. Younger children would enjoy this much better than older ones.

What an awesome petting zoo! I purchased a Groupon for two. I called on our way to make sure we could get a guided tour. We arrived just a few minutes before the next tour started. We were the only ones at our assigned time. Before we got started, we purchased a small bucket of feed for $3. It's $5 for the big bucket.Our guide was friendly and patient. She took her time explaining the different animals and gave us plenty of opportunities to feed the animals, pet the animals and take pictures/videos. Two by Two had a good variety of animals, mostly farm animals. We enjoyed the goats, mini horses, and camels the most. By the end of the tour, my son wanted to go on a "real" horse ride as opposed to the pony ride that the other Groupon deal offered. They charge $15 for 15 minutes, $30 for 30 minutes, and so on. I purchased the $15 deal after our tour guide checked to see if they could accommodate our request at the last minute.The horse riding area is not too far from the petting zoo. There's a separate parking area for it, and we just drove less than a mile. My son's guide was already waiting when we got to the stables. She, too was friendly and patient. She was also very knowledgeable of horses. The staff was able to choose the right horse for my 10-year old son. My son loved every minute of his short ride! It was his very first time on a horse and a very memorable one at that. Although far from us, Two by Two was worth the drive! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We definitely recommend.

Pretty basic. Farm setting with a fair amount of animals. It could use a bit of an uplift and cleaning. Not much guidance or assistance from the lady who collected our money. Paid for the 3 minute pony ride,

I can't decide which part of my visit was the most horrible. The poor emu who's leg was so distorted that he was dragging it behind him in pain. The donkey who I thought was dead it had been on such a bad fight. It was left to lie alone in a pen suffering. Or the mule who was kept alone in a pen and was so desperate for interaction that he was pounding the fence after we walked away from him and stopped petting him. How about the foxes who's pen was so tiny they couldn't run . I asked if they were ever allowed to run and stretch their legs and was told no. The chickens were so stressed out they were pecking at their feathers ripping them all out and leaving open wounds. Appalling. I plan to report to anyone I possibly can to get this place shut down. Go at your own RIsk! Even animals deserve better than this place.

My daughters love going here. I could do it once a month. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone loves riding the horses too.

We absolutely loved going here! What a great experience the zoo was huge a lot to see. The staff was extremely helpful and our kids had a blast. We did the horse back riding tour which was very pretty definitely an adventure the kids will not forget. Thankful we went here !

What a gem in our own back yard. My favorite was how unique and special this place is. This is not your normal petting zoo. You get a lovely tour and if you're lucky you'll get Molly (she loves her job & You can tell). Every animal has a name and many of the just want a little bit of love, well and some feed. Go and check it out. Most are rescue animals, if not all.

It was absolutely amazing, went there and felt like family staff was so nice and helpful. You can get so close to all the animals and it's a BANG for your buck, definitely will be back

The conditions and treatment of the animals here were DISGUSTING. It stank everywhere even in 67° weather, and the animals were very unclean. Many of the habitats that they were kept in were very dirty and small. Many of the animals seemed ungroomed and not well kept at all.The land was beautiful but I think that everything was too spread out and the walk was rather miserable. All in all, I drove over an hour here with my five kids and it was generally not enjoyable. The staff were kind, though.

Emily no provide service. Had appt Verified appt in. Week. Went to place and no one new anything. Was told to hurry up because had other group. I then ask her why we had to hurry when she didn't for us. She said she didn't need attitude get off her property call police told her to call.
