Good place to have fun with family and kids

We just had our son's birthday party there and everyone had a ball!!! The only negative was that I wish the activities were a little more structured, but that's really my fault because I was indecisive on which activities should be done in what order. The safari hayride was everyone's favorite, We actually got to touch a zebra- the birthday boy was ecstatic!!! It was amazing and we will definitely be going back and taking more friends with us!!!

We had a birthday party here for our two & four year old girls. It was at the end of October and we were unlucky in that the weather ended up being wet & cold. However, thanks to their very large covered play area, everyone still had a great time! Leigh Anne took good care of us! Everything went smoothly and it was so nice not having to worry about anything. The kids had a blast because there was so much to do. I would definitely recommend this place!

Kristie Rigdon

Extremely family friendly. Despite the rain the staff was willing to keep everything open for us and was super friendly! We have four kids under the age of 6 and we had a blast!

Debby Pelant

Took our 3 yr old grandson their for his birthday with the family. It was sooo fun. A little hot. A few more fans under the cover would be better. Lots of small animals for kids to feed. Big bouncy house in the shade. Safari hay ride was the best. Kids loved the camel, cow and zebra. Splash pad is a wonderful way for kids to cool down. We will definitely be back. Thanks to the super nice staff. Clean facility.

Heather Stark

This place is a hidden gem. Make sure you do the hayride. We loved it.

Rachal Fondren

My 5 year old daughter went on a class field trip here and she absolutely loved it! She has now officially milked a goat!!

Raegan Mitchell

We absolutely loved this place! I highly recommend going here! My girls, and I really enjoyed our experience! Feeding the animals, petting the animals, going on the hayride. The cute gift shop, the splash pad, the bouncy houses..etc.. there was so much to do! My girls had a blast! You can tell how loved the animals are there, and how hard the owners work to take care of the whole place. The animals are very personal, and friendly. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was so precious. It really warmed my heart to see the love the owners have for each animal. This place is a blessing to experience! Go & try it out! One of the best places I have ever taken my kids to hands down! :) God bless this cute little place!

Crystal Pooley

We went to Kids Night Out and they loved it! Staff was super friendly & very kid oriented. Many different types of animals to interact with. Bounce houses, splash pad, hayride, gift shop; you name it, they have it!

Allison Ann

Family friendly environment, kind staff, and lots of interesting animals. Great for birthday parties or just a day with the family. We will definitely be going back.

I have never been here. However, I am sad that in the reviews you have to keep defending yourselves for pricing. Unfortunately, people do not understand how expensive it is to maintain and operate a business. I would like to say thank you for taking care of these animals and having the passion to share that with everyone. When we are in the area we will definitely stop and check out this facility.

Shondra Barkins

Very nice place

Skyler Jones

Warning!!!!!!! Do not base your whole family trip to go here and trust there website hours of operation on a nice sunny day. Total fail

Christine

Animals looked abused and was not worth my time

Tina Weindel

Great place for kids.

Jenny Weale

Great times!!!!!!!! My daughter was able to pet all the animals, play on the bouncy castle, ride a pony, milk a goat, feed a deer by bottle and go on a very interactive hayride. To truly enjoy yourself you must go on the hayride. It is an unforgettable experience and a chance to really interact with the larger animals. Their homemade lemonade is so yummy too!

Stephanie Thompson

We had my son's birthday party here. All of the guests loved it, the children and adults. Staff was courteous and friendly. The bathrooms were clean. The animal pens were clean and the animals seem to be well fed and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend.

Marilyn Ace

This place had a lot of really good reviews so it made us want to come by, but it sucked for the price. They barley had any animals and the hayride wait was like an hour and there wasn’t any room on it so we had to wait an additional hour for the next one. A kid threw up in the bouncy house and the staff didn’t clean it my child ended up getting throw up. Also this isn’t a zoo it’s more like a small safari. Would not recommend at all!

Alex Herrington

My fiancé and I tried to take our 15 month old to this 'zoo' today. It was our first day off together as a family in 3 months so we did a lot of research on where to go and we thought Jubilee would be awesome. On their website it said the were open from 2-5 on Sunday's so we made the hour drive to get there, only to find out that they're only open for private parties on Sunday's. And that they just hadn't updated their website so when we got there they had to get the owner and while we were waiting for her we were handed a map that was "5 years old so not everything would be there" they told us we could join with the birthday (which was kind of awkward to begin with) so we wandered over to the corner where the ducks and deer are. All of the animals we saw were looking pretty rough, the ducks were missing a bunch of feathers and the deer were missing patches of fur and the water that the ducks had was completely green and slimy just coated with scum. But our daughter loved looking at the 'puppies' so we stayed for a few minutes but then some of the guests from the birthday party were drunk and got in a fist fight in the parking lot and they said they were calling the police so we left immediately. Thankfully we were able to get a refund since we were only there a few minutes and hadn't even fed any animals but it took 4 people to try to figure out how to give a refund. It seems like no one knew what was going on except the owner and as we were leaving my fiancé heard them say 'well that's gonna be a bad review' not that they were at all concerned with the drunk fight at a child's birthday party. We were seriously disappointed to have wasted our time trying to visit this facility, next time we'll make the two and a half drive to Dallas to see a real accredited zoo where the animals are actually taken care of.

Daniel Jones

Incredible to be able to be face to face with the animals! Live to be able to pet and feed them. Never gonna forget how soft a kangaroo is or what a big ole camel kiss is like! Thanks Jubilee! We will definitely be back!

Lane Adger

Great little petting zoo just north of town.

Mildred Romero

Excelente! Aunque le falta mantenimi

Meghan Durrert

My son had the best night tonight at the Kids Night Out hosted by Jubilee zoo. The staff was amazing and were so kind. I thought it was a great price as well. In fact I can't wait for them to do it again.

lesley rinaudo

The camel is awesome.

S Twist

Family owned and amazing!!! Fun for birthdays or just a day trip. They have awesome fresh squeezed lemonade and a small build a bear/animal machine in the gift shop. Great place for families!

Jennifer Clements

We love the Jubilee Zoo! We have visited for special occasions and on days we were bored. We have celebrated my daughters last 2 birthdays here and have the third one scheduled for this weekend. Our experience has ALWAYS been a good one. I have scheduled things over the phone and online. The process was painless both ways. They charged a small percentage up front to reserve the party date/time and then the rest is paid on the day of the event. They have several packages to choose from and I think the prices are reasonable. Things can also be added on the day of the event: rides, food, people etc. You can choose to bring in your own food, drinks, cake etc... this is a good option for us. I have only visited the facility, I haven't had them come to my home or another location, but I am sure the experience is a good one. As far as general admission goes, again I think the prices are reasonable. I am sure that taking care of all of these wonderful animals is very expensive. Anyway, we fell in love with the animals and this great place. My daughter was able to feed a baby lamb once. The hayride is too much FUN, the animals come right up to the trailer and eat out of your buckets. Sometimes they can be a bit intrusive, the camel is especially greedy :). You can also walk out to other animals in pens or visit with the random chickens/birds that come to greet you all over the place. Buckets or cups of feed are available at the front office. I don't know if they still do this, but the $10 bucket we bought, was able to be refilled for $5. We got to keep it and use it for future occasions. Overall... love it, love it, love it

Kyle Cracolici

This establishment is not only overpriced but the staff is unprofessional and half of them don't seem to know what they are doing. You have to pay for admission and then additional for the pony and hay ride. The animals look miserable, a kangaroo they have on site was actually missing an eye. I highly recommend you save your money.

J-me Duggan

So many animals!!

Carrie Bishop

It was horrible the staff sucked not friendly at all but i guess what would you expect for children; however, the lady at front desk was friendly at least. I paid $38 for me my niece and nephew which included $3 for a horse ride that last all of two seconds they had a million goats 4 pigs 5 horses a zebra and Lima ohh and 2 cows well let me not forget the 4 bunnies n 2 pigs and have the nerves to call themselves a zoo. I had to wait for the front desk person to find someone to take them on they ponyride which they had to do one at a time and it was in a gate going in circles SMH and we had to wait on the hey ride that took us in a muddy pasture with the lima three horses and a zebra oohh and the two cows LMAO now can we say mad as hell save your money

Samantha snyder

I was the only one there right before they closed and they were very very welcoming. The owners are absolutely loving and took my son and I out to see the camel, zebra, horses, and emu just by ourselves. It was absolutely wonderful! And a great family!

Patsy Cochran

The place was very overpriced for what you saw. There is a lot of goats, a few sheep, two kangaroos, a few rabbits and chickens. You rode on a trailer pulled by a tractor out to the clump of trees where you could feed the horses, one zebra and one camel. The whole place was not clean. The animal pins where bad. There was a lot of falling down building that had junk piled everywhere. I would advise people not to go. One adult and two children was almost $38.00. The ladies that worked up front was very nice and friendly. They where the only good thing there. The place wad very grown up and needed mowing bad. I don't usually complain, howere this was a poor excuse for a petting zoo

justin frasier

Fun for the kids

Rebekah Bell

This is an awesome experience for kids of all ages! Ride a pony, see a few exotic animals, go on a hay ride, feed and pet a bunch farm animals, and when you are all done play in the bounce houses. Thank you for the wonderful experience and for taking in some animals that need some love!

Jesika Young

Friendly staff, plenty of fun things to do, like the hay ride where I got a kiss from dessy the camel! I loved it and will definitely being coming back

Joy2thaWorld Corona

I went here today with my family and I feel that we really didn't get anything for what we paid. It was me and my husband, my aunt-in-law and our two children. We paid 60 dollars..the area was so small it took all of five seconds to see everything. At the Monroe Zoo that we drove to after leaving here we paid 43 dollars and saw way more animals and got a boat ride for all of us and a petting zoo/splashpad. So I feel for what this place has to offer sixty dollars was a bit steep..if your looking for something small with few animals at a high price than this is the place. Wasn't what we expected very disappointed.

Melanie Ross

Absolutely Amazing!

Ajit Manuel

Enjoyed our visit completely. The staff were nice and they tried to give us a good time. We petted the goats, the kangaroo, the horse, the zebra, and the camel. We fed them too... The goats ate out of our hands!! Loved our time there. Nice place for children and for adults wanting to unwind and relax.

Aerica Moya

Was an amazing experience and friendly people there who love their job as much as the animals there love to be fed but kids. The baby goats are probably my favorite part, or the hay ride which is must.

Melanie Bullock

It was absolutely amazing! The workers are also very nice and made things a lot more fun!

Mother of Roman

Great zoo ran by super sweet and friendly Christian folks.

Brian Dean

Way better than expected. From the looks when pulling in I thought it was going to be someone's farm they were calling a petting zoo. The facility is well taken care of the animals looked healthy and there was plenty of things to keep the kids happy and busy.

craig boykin

Me and my son went there for my birthday. The staff was friendly and polite. The animals were great very friendly especially the camel they have a hay ride that was great and the animals looked pretty happy. My son had a good time and I had a good time being able to facilitate that. I definitely reccomend this place and I will come back

Alexandra Walsh

The staff is extremely friendly, and my toddler loved it.

Dan Batman

Fun place for kids and adults

Carrie Robideaux

I was worry in the front there was a bunny all my himself no food no water no nothing all the animals were hungry.My granddaughter had a bday party there. I hope they take care of the animals. I was not happy at all I hope they take care of that bunny.Shame on them if they dont.

Shay

Very cute baby goats, and differant variety of animals. The staff was really nice and welcoming.

Paul McLean

My experience at this "zoo" with my family was terrible. Everything was VERY overpriced and the front office staff was extremely rude. The staff outside of the office consisted of nothing more than unhelpful teenagers who I actually saw sneak behind a building to smoke cigarettes and I'm almost positive I saw them smoking marijuana. As far as the "zoo" (if I could call it a zoo) goes, it consisted of 90% plain old farm animals, and a few exotic animals who we couldn't even get the chance to see unless we payed extra for a hay ride.

Anthony McClendon

It was great

chenoa oliver

DON'T TAKE YOUR CHILD! Someone put the wrong kangaroo in the petting area. It attacked my friend and I. She had her small child in there as well. My friend had several scratches all over her arm as we were trying to escape and protect her child. The kangaroo jumped on my back repeatedly and was trying to claw and bite me through my jacket. What was terrible was no one that worked there was in the area to help us. When we told someone that worked there, she didn't act like it was a big deal. She said they must have accidentally put the wrong kangaroo in the petting area. She apologized and walked away, offering no help. This could have been seriously worse for all of us, especially my friend's small child. What a horrible experience!

Brandy Beverly

My granddaughter birthday party was helded there and we had an awesome time she feed the animals and enjoyed the jumpers along with others that were invited. Everyone was extremely polite and w will return to visit the Zoo again.

Monica Lacy

Had a great breakfast and visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus with our granddaughter! Lots of fun feeding and petting the animals! Staff was great!

Ashley Rachall Music

Super sweet little zoo! Went with a group of pre-k students and everyone enjoyed the visit.

Nicole Nicholson

Jubilee Zoo is absolutely incredible! My friend and I took my 5yr old and we had a blast. I can't remember the names of the staff, but they are so very kind and super sweet. The goat pin is so much fun. The hay ride is an experience I will forever cherish. I love that camel so much.I love them all so much. The camel has so much personality. I hope everyone that reads this will visit this amazing friendly zoo. I can't wait to go back and try out the goat yoga. Thank you for all you do for these precious animals.

Lindsay Dobbins

My 6 year old niece and I had such a good time here. The hayride was awesome, it was so cool to be able to feed a camel and zebra so openly and literally in your face! The sweet calf that they rescued was my favorite-full of kisses and so loving. I found it to be an incredibly good deal for the price and my niece, as well as I, loved it. The owner even came out and talked to me when she noticed the calf and I were bonding, which I thought was very nice of her.

Sharon

Awesome place! As a mom, it’s the first time I’ve been able to just let my kids run free without (much) worry. It’s fenced, no cars, the workers are everywhere and willing to help or answer questions at every junction. You can see (and pet!) kangaroos, baby goats, some kind of baby deer, sheep freely. A cow, a zebra, horses, and a camel are on the hayride (included in admission) you can pet them, feed them, and interact you just have to stay in the trailer. A GIGANTIC pig, emus, rabbits (which I think maybe you can open the cage we didn’t ask), chickens, guinea birds, mores horses, a donkey, more of those weird deer, a capybara, more sheep, and more kangaroos are behind fences but are totally willing to come eat all your feed. And more that I’m sure I am missing! My daughter even got to bottle feed in the baby goat pen! I’ve spent more money in places with less options. They’ve got SO MUCH for kids to do. Bounce houses, a splash pad, plus all the safe running area and animals. If you’re looking for something kid friendly to take up a few hours, go here! They sell concessions and the majority of it is under shade with misting barn fans so even in the end of July, it’s a great trip!

Benjamin Parrish

Staff was very nice and respectful. You can get very close to the animals and they are gentle with children. Our favorite was the hay ride, my son, and daughters were amazed. I was too (for an adult)... you know. Just to see my kids have such a wonderful time, what parent doesn't love that? Thanks Zoo!

Mark Hammett

Awesome place and the staff was extremely nice!

dan smith

Fantastic!! The animals are so well behaved and didn't bite. The staff was super friendly. Truly a hidden Gem!!

Giselle Martinez

Pretty good it's like a mini petting zoo and my sis loved it

Matt DeDonder

We were visiting from out of town and needed something to do to entertain my young children. We had a great time walking the grounds. The hayride was the best part. The animals come right up next to the trailer so you can pet them. The staff was very friendly and even let my daughter milk a goat. We brought a picnic lunch and had a great day!

baibaixoxo

I don’t have a lot of good things to say about most of Shreveport/Bossier, but I was pleased with our visit here with my one year old. The staff was super friendly, we enjoyed the animals and they all looked like they were well cared for. The pens were also clean & well maintained. I would definitely recommend, especially for younger kids.

Christina Smith

Such a cool place!!!

Britton Myer

Great for kids, laid back. Got some great pictures. Very friendly staff.

Donald Nolan

Was skeptical because of some bad reviews. Got to say we loved it. We had a blast. Most zoos are crowded and corporate atmosphere. This was family friendly and staff made us feel like part of their family. We stayed long enough for the hay ride and it was soooo worth it. Getting kissed by a camel and petting a zebra was awesome! The pizza was really good. The bounce houses were great for my daughter. We even bought a make your own stuffed animal. I am proud that we got to help support such a great place. One of the baby goats got out and chased my daughter down to be pet

Stacie Spinks

This is one of the best places around, in my opinion, to take your family to. It is so much fun! The staff is super friendly and helpful and there are so many different things to do there. They have a hayride that drives you out to see a camel, zebra, horses and many other animals. I can honestly say that I have never been able to touch an actual zebra or camel until I went here. The kids loved it. The camel even gives kisses! The kids were so excited to go and cool off in the splash pad after playing in the bounce houses and petting all of the animals. They even have Kangaroos! Well worth the visit! If you are looking for something fun for the whole family this is the place to go! We have tried out many different places in the area but this one is by far our favorite! Thank you Jubilee Zoo! We will be back soon! Maybe for Goat Yoga! Super cute place. ❤️

Dylan Fox

Great place to take little kids. It has a mom and pop feel to it.

Tahnee Taylor

Great place! Loved getting in the cages with all the animals! Kangaroos were amazing! Great, nice staff!! Well taken care of animals!!

Charles Johnson

Very fun place for the kids and adults. Super nice Staff.

Kristi Harrison

We had a blast here with our 3 and 1 year old kids. The highlight was the wonderful staff. Lots of animals to pet, pony rides, a hayride with exotic animals, bouncy houses, and more. Big shaded area. We would definitely come back!

C Austin

Sweet little petting zoo with a hayride for feeding the larger animals, including a camel and a zebra. It made my granddaughter happy and that made me happy.
