LAWRENCE Lovestock

As you know I'm a huge animal lover, so of course, I was so thrilled when I found this gem during my researchin' for must-dos in Hawaii (Oahu)! I asked my sister if she would be interested in this, and she said, "Yes, it sounds fun." So I immediately booked a reservation for us towards the early evening (the last time slot) of the day. I'm so glad that I chose that time as it wasn't too hot/bright so it's cooler. We got there a little bit earlier than our appointed time, but Denise told us that we can start. She was very friendly, informative, and just a lovely person. I absolutely love love love the experience! We started with the bunnies first because they're so freakin' cute! We got to feed them as we brought some fruits and veggies from Safeway before we came. I picked one up and we got take some pics/videos with them. There were birds next to the bunnies and they were pretty. It was very sad hearing the story about one of the birds (I forgot the name of the bird.. sorry!) as he lived off his on poop for a couple years as his person passed away. It's the one that's always screeching/screaming. Then we visited the little bb cows (calves? Is that what they're called?), and I got to feed them the feed. Then we checked out the goats and sheeps. The goats were really aggressive with wanting to get the food, and they will bump into each other. Then we visited the ducks and piggies. There were also turkeys there as well. The fruits and veggies that we got from Safeway were strawberries, lettuce, and carrots. My ultimate favorite part was that they let us bottle feed the bb cows. There were like 4-6 big bottles of milk to feed the bb cows. I tried it first, and then I let my sis try, but she only lasted holding it for like 2 minutes until she said that it was too heavy. So I ended up doing that mostly which was really awesome! I absolutely loved it as it was such an amazing experience. Hehe..Dear Denise, thank you so much for having this wonderful place that gives people opportunities to interact with these lovely animals! This place is truly a gem and a must-do for animal lovers when visiting Oahu! :)

We came here on a Thursday and was greeted by Uncle Bubu, he was very welcoming and helpful. We had stopped at the local grocery store to pickup some produce as the kids were excited to "feed some animals". The kids were beyond happy with there experience here. I highly recommend this place for families and especially families with young children; pickup some fresh produce for them as well. If you want the best experience; bring whole pineapples and ask to see "Peppa".

The views are stunning and the animals are adorable. Had a great time visiting all of the animals here!! Their talking parrots are very entertaining.

Lawrence Lovestock, located in the Kahaluu area, is a family-owned livestock zoo that is interactive and educational for children AND adults. This is a fairly new petting zoo as this idea came into fruition when they began rehoming as well as rescuing some from being slaughtered. They decided to open their doors of their private menagerie to the public few months ago at the encouragement of their friends and have been successful since then.My daughter-in-law was the one who informed us of this petting zoo, which she was able to get us tickets that also included a light lunch and refreshments. Our tour was led by Denise (the owner) daughter-in-law, Alicia along with her two sons. As we walked around, the owner, Denise shared they are looking to continually improve to make sure their "Lovestock" is taken care, which is obvious because everything is spaced apart and clean! On a side note, they are actually considering Alpacas too!Come and see the different animals. You can touch and feed their animal residents, and view up close. Some of the farm animals you'll see include different type of pigs; lambs; goats; chickens; turkeys; rabbits. Besides visiting with the local farm animal residents, you can relax on their picnic benches under a small tent pavilion, enjoy the scenery of the Koolau Mountains, learn about the family history and their land, and enjoy their light refreshments that also includes fruits that they've grown on their own land.Overall, this is a family-oriented and educational experience you won't soon forget. So come on over for a change of pace away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This is not your typical petting zoo and it is worth the trip! Recommend: Highly

Love this gem! We have been there twice and we'll keep visiting! Auntie Denisse is very hospitable and patience with kids.

Must do for anyone that wants their kids to get exposure to Lovestock! Leo was great and really took the time to ensure we had a quality experience! Will definitely keep coming back!Advice: Bring food for the animals; greens and carrots.

BEST FAEM EVER!!!!!!! We went couple times and it's was the best experience we ever had with animals! MUST GO THERE!we will come more for sure!

Really beautiful view of the island. It does get muddy so highly recommended wearing the right shoes. Loved feeding the animals and being able to interact with them freely. Highly recommend if you want your littles to have some freedom with the animals

Excellent little family-friendly farm with Loving owners. Animals are also very friendly and healthy. Had my nephews birthday party here. 10 - 10 recommend!

My daughter had a wonderful experience at Lawrence lovestock. Denise is so friendly and nice. She explains to us what the animals like to eat, their habits. All the animals here have names and their name tags are on the fence. My daughter feed pigs for her first time. We spent 2 hours there and she loves to go back to this place again. We found this places on Google while I search for top 10 kids activities in Oauh,It a great place for kids who loves animals.
