Reviews of My Happy Place (Zoo)

Amanda Cooper

This place is amazing little gem!! My kids(and myself

Erin Lewis

Very nice people and lots of animals. Was a little rundown with small enclosures but maybe they're only in them when visitors are there

Anita McFadden

Great staff. Interactive with feeding and petting animals. Kids loved it. Picnic area also. Clean

Katelyn Mahoney

This place was awesome. My 2 year old loved the hands on experience of everything. It was a bit pricy although I chopped it up as supporting all they do there. So many animals, I wish there were more signs saying what each one was. This place is a must see for sure.

Andrew Parks

Fun place for the kids to see and pet different kinds of animals including a kangaroo.

RACHEL MORRONGIELLO

Kids had a blast. Owner was super patient w my family, teaching us about each animal and taking my kids on their 1st pony rides. We will go back often!

Michelle Schultz

If you or your kids love animals you HAVE to go here. It's so much fun to see the different animals, love on them, and feed them

William Plessinger

Great experience for the kids. Games, animals and a wonderful staff!

Patricia Meigs

Lovely little farm with some of the cutest animals ever. Roosters, chickens, turkeys, horses, goats, cows, camel, rabbits, birds, gerbils, baby kangaroo, capybara, pigs, etc.

Brina Clark

This place was amazing! We so enjoyed the visit! We took our two boys (3 yrs old and almost 2) who are usually scared of animals and even dogs. My little one took a few minutes to warm up but did better then I thought he would. My 3 year old loved it! The lady running the place directed us to start with the small animals in the barn and the kids took off from there. The boys definitely didn't want to leave when it was time to go. We will be going back again! Thanks for the wonderful time!

They are the best

We were on a road trip and saw the billboard so we decided to check it out. It was a great place to stop and get out of the car midway through a long car ride with a little one. The owner was so nice and the animals were so friendly. The pony ride was an extra bonus.

Dorothy Adkins

We went to My Happy Place today on a field trip with 7 year olds. We had so much fun. Friendly knowledgeable staff!!! The animals were obviously well taken care of and friendly too. The farm was very clean. We had a blast!

Leora Greenhaus

So fun, smaller than I expected but we had a great time. He held a baby kangaroo and my son who is autistic rode the pony and he loved it.

Andrew

Awesome place to take young kids! Even us adults throughly enjoyed ourselves there! You can't beat the price of admission ($10/person age 2+, free 2 and under). The animals seem to be well taken care of and the staff really show a love in the animals (and they are very knowledgeable about the animals). I would highly recommend this place and I'm sure that we will be back! We live fairly close, but this would be a wonderful stop/break from your travels not far off of I 95!!

I have now been to the "Happy Place" two different times. As a 55 year old female, I loved it. There is something new each time I go. This time it was a baby kangaroo. I got to hold and cuddle it as well as my grandchildren. They also got to pick out a pumpkin and decorate it at the decoration table fully equipped with paints and markers. Most of the animals are tame and you can touch, hold, or feed the animals with food the owners provide. The kids loved the pony rides as well. There are hand sanitizers provided on each picnic table underneath the big shelter. This is a well kept and very clean establishment with clean and well maintained bathrooms provided. The animals and pens are all clean beyond belief as well. I have only touched on a few of the highlights of this wonderful place right here near our neighborhood. If you love all kinds of animals, you will love this place. I almost forgot to mention how much I admire the owners for rescuing most of these animals and giving them homes where they get attention and excellent care. I'm truly amazed that these people have adopted all these animals and after taking such good care of them, they have allowed us access to get to know and love all their critters too. This will truly make anyone who comes here HAPPY!

Best petting zoo around! The staff are incredibly sweet and attentive. They have a big variety of animals. My 2 year old enjoyed himself so much while we were here. Definitely will be going back!

Rachel Mullen

I cant be the only one that feels that this place is just not right. I had a horrible feeling when I was there. I felt like the animals were there purely for human entertainment. They are fed an unlimited amount of feed...by the visitors which can not be good for them ..Their enclosures are really small and sad. There were kids banging on the kangaroo enclosure and yelling..clearly stressing him out and there was no staff around to step in to help. I recommend going to Aloha Safari Zoo where the animals are true rescues and have a great quality of life.

Kelli Barefoot

We love this place! Very hands on and wonderful animals. Can't wait to come back!

Brittany Gobble

Such a fun place!!! Our homeschool group had a field trip here!! The kids had a great time!! The staff was so friendly and answered many many questions from our kids!!!

Chris Creech

Fun for kids. They have some exotic animals.

Jenna Smith

Not sure why someone would rate this as a horrible experience because it is FAR from that. It is a small area but filled with so much fun. The staff and owner is amazing! I definitely plan on going back.

AshLeigh Pienkosz

This is such an awesome place to take the kids and even for adults who like to adventure out! All of the animals

Brandon Johnson

The family really enjoyed it here. Staff was friendly and informant. We spent about 3 hours here and the time flew by. Entry is $10 but that also includes feed for the animals and pony rides for the kids. My daughter fell in love with one of the sheep and my wife with the baby kangaroo. We will definitely be returning soon.

Joshua Ruger

Went to a birthday party here and it was really awesome. My 8 yr old son had a great time

S E

This place is so awesome and the owner, Allison, is even more so! We got to feed, pet, hold, and ride! She has so many babies! We can't wait to go again!

Joey Rodriguez

Sweet animals and friendly staff

Jennifer Needham

My children thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on farm experience. They got to hold multiple animals and go inside many pens for close up encounters- all included in the very reasonable admission price. The animals were VERY well taken care of and we would definitely go back. The name fits because we all left happy!

Melissa Overton

A great animal refuge with lots of options to pet and hold all sorts of creatures! Great owners who obviously care very much for their menagerie. We took out Church's children choir and had a GREAT experience.

Georgia Villalpando

We loved the animals here! Everything was hands on and the staff was so friendly. There’s also a couple of swings and a sand box where we got some super cute pics of our 10 month old. I only gave 4 stars because we hoped it was a little bigger. Totally worth the visit though!

Genevieve Ratti

It's awesome! Most of the animals are rescues. Admission is $10/person, children under 2 are free. Your admission includes food for the animals. We had a great time. My daughter (4 years old) has asked to go back every day for a week. We spent 3 hours there playing with the animals. Her favorites were the Guinea pigs and hairless rats.

Samantha Kirk

Friendly environment. Helpful and friendly staff. And even though it's a farm it is clean and has sanitizer around to keep your hands clean.

Lori Murphy

This is a wonderful petting farm where you can truly get up and close with the animals. I actually got to hold a baby kangaroo in his pouch and he fell asleepn in my arms. You can go right in the fences with the chickens and baby goats. I love this place so much I ended up having my daughter's birthday party here. Their preschool class had the time of their lives and the staff is amazing. Joe the camel is probably my personal favorite but they have a tiny zebu calf is the sweetest thing you'll ever pet. Not only is the lady who owns this knowledgeable and absolutely in love with her animals, so are her staff. This is a totally fun family adventure and your little ones will even get to ride a pony! Where can you go with four and five-year-olds and say that that riding a pony is not the highlight of your experience. I almost didn't want to write a review because I don't want this place to become overcrowded but, it would be unfair not to let everyone know how fabulous an experience this is.

Virginia Duplessis

This was an awesome experience. We got up close and personal with a variety of animals .was a great hands on tine for the whole family. We'll be back.

Shanna Morales

I would recommend My Happy Place to anyone. Allison (the owner) is so friendly and easy to talk to. You can tell she has a passion for what she does. All of the animals were so happy and healthy! The animals are all so friendly as well; my 3 year old and 1 year old had no issues interacting with any of them. We will definitely be back to visit My Happy Place!

Jesse Schulman

Excellent place to bring the kids. Lots of fun animals to hang out with.

Jason Murphy

Friendly and helpful staff. They have all different kinds of animals that you can feed and pet. You can tell that they really love the animals that they have also.

Susan Anderson

Drove a LONG distance to get there only to have my daughters heart crushed that they closed at 2pm. Please update to reflect current times.

Dean Mclamb

Small and cozy. A lot of interaction with the animals there.

We have been to My Happy Place at least 10 times. My kids love being able to interact with all the different animals. Not to mention the caretakers/staff are the absolute best. They adore these animals and they take such good care of them. What a wonderful place.

Sabrina register

We absolutely loved this place. We went for my sons birthday. The staff was very helpful and kind. The goats lol were very friendly they wanted to make sure we noticed them lol. Kangaroos were adorable.

Matthew Townsend

Hands down the best birthday place ever . The owner was amazing and helped make my son's birthday a breeze. The kids and adults had an amazing time with all the animals. If you are looking for a great, easy, and fun place to plan a birthday party this is the place to go. We loved it!!!

William

Terrible place run by horrible people, do not bring your loved ones here. Was injured by an animal and the owner did not have any concern whatsoever. Terrible owners. I brought a date here and one of the horses forcefully head butt and bit my date in the chest very hard while she was taking a photo beside it from behind the wire fence, it knocked her backwards and drew blood and a huge bruise formed immediately across her chest. She has been in a lot of pain ever since and massive bruising continues to form across her chest. We had to take her to an urgent care for treatment. We went back to tell the owner what happened because there were children feeding the horse unattended by any adult and the horse kept nipping and biting at the other kids. The owner (Allison) was immediately callous and dismissive and said in a harsh tone "she's fine its just a bruise, she's okay.. that happens when you pet or feed horses, they bite." Allison also said sarcastically, "She's fine, what do you want me to do about it, get her an ice pack!??", which she smirked at. Later Allison was making jokes about it with another co-worker. I said how can you be so unconcerned that your horse just attacked her unprovoked? And Allison said, "It didn't attack her, if it did she'd be dead!", at this her and her co-worker chuckled like that was funny. The same co-worker came by later and told Allison that the horse "had just bit another girl but she's fine." And Allison said "Yeah I bet they own horses and they understand that's normal." They both laughed at this. I was shocked how rude and callous Allison was, not a kind person in the least. Also the other owner of the property blocked us from leaving the property because we had taken a photo of the horse, and he was extremely aggressive and hostile towards us. He only allowed us to leave when we dialed 911 and then he followed us through town tail-gating us. Do not bring your loved ones here if you are concerned for their safety.

Matt Whitehead

Solid interactive experience. Lots of animals you would not expect and the staff is knowledgeable and fun.

Lisa Penny

We had a wonderful time! Definitely be back.

Nicole Jackson

Me and my kids loved it.

Emily Goodson

Wow what an experience! The love the owner has for these animals is felt through the whole experience. There is an array of rescued animals that you can hold and interact with (even kangaroos!). I'm so glad we were able to go and we will be back. What a treat!

Johnny Williford

A wonderful place for everyone to have a great time at with beautiful animals and clean ...
