"Please ignore all of the negative comments…this place is amazing. Amy and her family do an amazing job caring for all of these animals(many people don’t realize that many of them are rescues). Amy and the staff were friendly and more than willing to chat with myself and my family. Thank you for an amazing afternoon, our 5 year old loved it."

"Super awesome! I went here on accident but I'm so glad we went. The kids had a blast and loved all the animals and horse ride."

"Had a great time with our little one. Lots of animals, everyone that helped us was great and the animals appear happy and well taken care of. We'll definitely be back."

"My wife surprised me with an overnight stay at the zoo for my birthday. We took the kids and had a blast. The operators were super accommodating with any questions we had. All the animals reminded me of my childhood farm and more. I can not say enough good things about this place. Show up and enjoy the walk and the serenity of the place. The sun the animals and the feeling of the place is great. Bring a pole and catch a fish, watch the turtles, relax with the ponies, talk with the parrot... enjoy yourself and see what you can find on the farm : )"

"Two by Two Petting Zoo was a great day trip for me and my two autistic boys, ages 22 & 5! We luckily picked the perfect day to go as far as the weather was concerned, warm yet breezy with no humidity! The animals are all healthy and well cared for, and the grounds were kept very clean and inviting. We saw the owners zooming around in their carts several times and they were friendly and informative when we looked a little lost at the beginning of our walk. My lil one adored all of the brown dogs freely roaming the ranch and played with them many times along the way. He also got to ride a pony for about 2 minutes, which was enough for him for a first time ride. I do believe that the young girl that led the pony was attentive and heard my son voicing his want to get off, due to feeling unbalanced, or the ride would’ve been longer. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch in the shade, on new picnic tables right by the parking area, which was very convenient. We will definitely visit again!"
