    This private tour was truly a one-of-a-kind experience and absolutely worth it. I can’t recommend it highly enough. We went with kids ages 4 to 7, and it was incredible for everyone, engaging, memorable, and so special. It ended up being the highlight of our year.

    Our guide was such a kind and welcoming person, and it was clear that he and his family genuinely love and deeply care for the animals. Their passion and dedication really shine through.

    If you are in Austin for only one day, this is what you should be doing.

    5++ stars. The absolute highlight of our Austin trip and a must-do if you’re in the area. This is a truly special, family-owned and run place, and you can feel that care the entire time. The animals are clearly well loved, treated like pets, and so happy to interact with visitors. You really get to experience a slice of farm life and soak up all the love from the sweetest fur babies.

    Dylan was an incredible host and guide—knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about what he does. We’ll be talking about this experience for a long time and can’t wait to come back someday. Thank you for such a memorable visit!

    Very nice little pumpkin patch. Not much as far as activities but the uniqueness of the animals more than makes up for it! My girlfriend loved it and we might be back next year!

    The private tour is so fun and so worth it! $20 a person for a little over an hour of seeing and getting to feed tons of animals up close and personal is an awesome deal. We hope to go back soon with my husband's family that lives out of town.

    Great experience to visit well cared for exotic animals on a private tour. Would highly recommend if you are in the area. Some animals are more social than others and you get to get up close, feed, and interact with a ton of different animals.

    This place is wonderful. So full of history and the animals are fascinating. Beautiful scenery with friendly critters makes for great family experience. Getting to pet and feed a white bison was a once and a lifetime experience. 10 out of 10 can't wait to go again.
