Reviews of Vanderlaand The Barnyard Zoo (Zoo)

Tone Laidlaw

Very friendly animals and staff. Some toys at the park should be removed in my opinion as they looked to be broken for a while. Overall a good place to bring the young ones

Harleen Kaur

Emilie Brenning

We had a great time! Absolutely worth the drive, beautiful countryside. They have lots of animals and most of them are approachable and friendly when you don't chase them. 10/10 would recommend for any family to enjoy.

We absolutely ADORE this barnyard zoo. Our three year old asks to go every weekend and see her animals. The family that owns this place really cares for the animals, and the barnyard is adorable. We love being able to feed and pet the donkeys and the goats, and our daughter loves the fish pond!

Such a wonderful farm with amazing animals to see. Ruth is very welcoming to everyone and ensures to take the time to explain each animal and how they came to the farm. Most definitely a great place to go if you want to see a petting zoo with friendly animals

Jeremy Duffield

Had a wonderful family outing. 2 children and 2 adults private viewing and some handling of youngling. What a fantastic experience. 10/10 would go again

Not a single tree or manmade shelter to make shade for the animals. Drove by today in the blazing sun, 35+ degrees, and saw those poor animals just baking. Miserable. Very sad. Please do better by the animals.

Really enjoyed are visit here friendly animals and staff are more then happy to answer questions about the animals great place to bring the kids and enjoy the open space.

Today was me and my fiancé’s first time visiting the farm, and we absolutely loved it! You can tell that the animals are well cared for, and the staff are so friendly! We spent 3 hours here, and we didn’t even realize because we were having such a great time. Not only that, but I got the opportunity to help feed a baby goat its bottle. The experience you will find here, is unlike any other. This farm was worth every penny. Go support this small business- you will not regret it! Can’t wait to visit again.

Very friendly staff and it's cool that you can bring your own food to give the animals. Their animals are all pretty friendly and very cute. The little pigs they have are so adorable I gave them way too much food! They have a variety of animals like goats, pigs, cows, horses, rabbits, etc. You definitely won't just stand around with animals ignoring you either. It's only 5$/person too, which is pretty cheap and you can buy cones of feed: 3 for 5$!

Ruth was great. She has lots of knowledge of all the bunnies. It was fun to play with all the bunnies. Can't wait to go back.

Went with my family and had a great time! All the animals are sweet and friendly, we got to pet everybody. Big playground with lots of toys for kids. The owner was very nice, and we are always happy to support a family business! We also bought fresh eggs, chicken and duck eggs and we can't wait to try them! I will be going back soon with my friends :)

Niki Khorasani

A nice farm, with a good variety of animals, perfect for a day out with kids. It has a nice playground as well, with some small cars and trucks for the kids to ride as well as an interesting play structure. I personally enjoyed watching and petting the animals but felt bad for some of them, in the first section with the horses and dunkeys in particular, some of them seemed to have an eye condition because of forcing their faces to the fences, which I'm not sure how normal it might be. Overall, nice place with a fair ticket cost. Great opportunity for family time and some unique experiences.

Eric Russell

Fun place for all ages, esp. kids.

Jennie Galbraith

Great place to take the kids to learn and interact with the animals! One of my favorite places to visit. ❤️

Robin Rankin

Children will enjoy feeding and petting the animals and playing on the play structure.

Alicia Vrieswyk

Great setup, lots of cute animals and a nice play area for the kids!!

Amanda Armstrong

It's awesome :) it's a great place for kids and adults alike. The animals are so friendly and like pets and the kids can just run free and have fun.

Natalie Massicotte

Great little place to spend the morning. Lots of super friendly and curious farm animals that all seem very healthy and happy; the tiny pigs are just the cutest!!! There's a bunch of outside toys for kids to play with, hand sanitizer everywhere and a portapotty to use.

Sharjeel Ahmad

Kids loved petting the variety of animals and really enjoyed the play area. The zoo is well kept and there is an abundance of farm animals

Brenda Wilson

This farm is absolutely the place to bring your family when looking for a fun outing! You can book tours for larger groups and they're also taking bookings for birthday parties! What an insanely fun idea for little one's parties! All Covid 19 protocols are adhered to including plenty of hand sanitizing stations. The farm is on a very large piece of land so there is plenty of room for social distancing. It is a very safe place to have a snuggle and to learn about all of the different animals they have, so interesting and educational! The animals are adorable and so so gentle! Due to the Covid 19 restrictions they won't be out and about in their petting zoos as usual so they desperately need all the lovin to come to them! They're waiting for you all! ❤️ Please help to support our local businesses, they need our help during these difficult times!

Melissa Poncia

Great place to spend a couple hours with the kids! A large assortment of animals to feed/pet/purchase as well as a play gym.

Sophia Kelly

This is probably the first time I've left a petting zoo feeling really good about what I saw. The animals are all gentle creatures who look in great shape, and have a great amount of space to play (some enclosures are bigger than entire petting zoos we've seen before). Even with covid and the cold weather there was loads to do, and piles of sweet little goat kids to play with. The kids were in love with a duo of excited piglets. We were halfway home when the toddler begged to turn around. She had forgotten to say goodbye to a pony. If it hadn't been past closing we might have gone for it! Really recommend. We'll be back for sure. Thanks, Vanderlaand!

First time visiting. The whole family greatly enjoyed themselves. Animals seem VERY well taken care of.

Joanne Frost

Such a caring family running the farm. Very personable. Cautious and clean regarding COVID

Kevin Lee

In this special period, if you would like your children to be close to animals but away from the crowd, I believe this farm is definitely the best choice because here you can get close to the animals, you can touch and feed them which will definitely make children spend the day happily.

Lindsay Eve

Animals were super gentle with the kids and the owners were super friendly.

Kristen Smalldon

A fantastic place to take a family and spend a few hours. Our kids loved all the various animals and the play structure was a hit too. Lovely grounds, well kept and clearly well cared for animals and very helpful staff. At $10 per person it is a steal of a deal. We’ll be back without question.

Amazing place! My only disappointment was that I didn’t know about it before today! So many friendly animals and a huge play area!

Yvan Julien

Perfect place for a fun time with the family (especially kids). Cheap too.

I love this place so much! Great price and the kids have a lot of fun.
