Superstition Farm

I recently visited Superstition Farm and was deeply saddened by the poor conditions in which the animals were kept. The enclosures were shockingly small, and I repeatedly witnessed goats getting their heads stuck in the pens--an issue that should have been addressed long ago to prevent ongoing distress. The water available for the animals was dirty, further adding to the concerning environment.The cows were kept in the smallest, most dismal enclosure imaginable, with no grass--just dirt and mud. It was disheartening to see baby pigs there as well, a sign that the farm does not spay or neuter all their animals. This isn't what I would expect from a facility that claims to prioritize animal welfare.To make matters worse, I learned (amongst many other horrific things) that the farm buys or trades most of their animals rather than rescuing them as implied by their mission statement. This visit was heartbreaking, and I would never return. I want to warn other animal lovers: if you're looking for a place that truly cares for their animals, this is not it.By the way: Google reviews have been turned off, which is never a good sign....

I was looking for a petting zoo experience for my 3 year old and decided to check this place out. It is in far east Mesa across the street from an Amazon Warehouse. When you walk inside, you are greeted by someone who works there who charged us $4 per person (including my kiddo) plus $4 for a bucket of feed. Not a bad price considering how much some of the other kids activities in the area cost! In the small market room when you walk in, there are cages of rabbits and little chicks along the left hand wall. There is a refrigerator on the right that sells a few things including cheese.When you walk outside, there is a small cage with teeny tiny turtles. There are cages with goats on the right, donkeys in the middle, then further in the distance there is a cage with pigs in a mud pit and a fenced in area with ducks and chickens. I didn't see the peacock, but apparently there are three that have free range to roam around the grounds.On the day that I was there, some young female goats had broken out of their cage and one kept following me around (since I was holding a bucket of food) and tried to jump on my back! In the center area where you walk out of the market into the petting zoo, there are tarps overhead to keep it cooler and misters going. The larger animals didn't seem satisfied by the seeds and kernels in the feed I threw for them, so I asked the staff if the animals like carrots. They do and actually they said you can bring your own carrots with you to feed the animals! I think both the animals and my kiddo might be more interested in that!

My boyfriend surprised me with a day date and he knows I love animals. Walking in they tell you it's a non profit and a little bit about the business and how the animals came to live there. I enjoyed hearing about the background and how much care seems to be involved. The animals seem healthy and well cared for and I love that some can be adopted. I especially fell in love with a baby goat named Dixie. She's adorable. There are also bunnies for adoption and other lovely creatures. It was enjoyable feeding the animals and petting them too. I also liked reading about each animal with the signs they were present near many of the enclosures. There are also many cool items inside the store like soaps, rocks, geodes, ice cream, and two friendly dogs who roam around the land. I highly recommend and I'll definitely be back.

Cute place with huge potential. Reminds me how Knott's Berry Farm started. There is much needed TLC needed and they could use your donations.

I have mixed feelings after visiting the Superstition Farm with my husband today. On a whim I decided we should check it out as it is close to home. I suppose I was expecting a bigger farm, but that's not a big deal - it is cheap and close enough to go in to feed the animals and take a quick stroll around. However, I was a bit dismayed by the condition of the farm and the animals. The farm and animals do not seem well taken care of. The animal's enclosures had filth coming out which appeared to have been accumulating for quite some time. Clutter, equipment, and animal feed were haphazardly placed about the farm. We came across a goat in distress that had its head stuck in a fence and it took us 15 minutes to locate someone who could help.The cows and horses are located adjacent to the goats, sheep, and pigs, and their enclosures appeared inadequate and dirty. I understand these are farm animals, but certainly the conditions here are not reflective of the quality and care that exists at other farms. It is nice to know that these are rescue animals, but the conditions here do make me wonder if the care given to them is appropriate.

Really fun place to take your kids to see cute little farm animals! We paid a few dollars for some feed and got to feed the animals. My 2.5 year old daughter loved that. Afterwards, we got some of their homemade ice cream and ate it at the picnic tables under the shade. Strawberry was my favorite!

My daughters had a great time (so did I)!!We wandered around the farm for a couple hours. There was plenty to do. We fed the baby goats with milk bottles that were for sale. There were also donkeys, sheep, goats, a miniature horse, chickens, a peacock, a dog, and a few cattle. Super relaxed morning for me watching my girls feed and pet the animalsThere are also a variety of things to buy in the shop. We bought some cheese and ice cream (AMAZING and homemade).

Great place to calm yourself down from the hussle bustle and spend some time with animals & peacocks. Serene oasis in Mesa !

They have taco Tuesday every Tuesday which means entry is free! And they have a taco truck. As soon as you enter through the barn, they'll have animals waiting for you there. Along with their soaps, crystals, t-shirts, etc. like a little gift shop! I purchased soap from there and would buy it again! But they have all kinds of animals throughout the place! So cute!

Great price to get in. Awesome animals that love your attention. Want to see a preview before you go? Check out my video. https://youtu.be/bNqgkC2Vz84?si=xhI2I0XQiUWC1Z2k
