Reviewed By OrganicMomma - Marietta, United States
We've been to quite a few animal parks and safaris and this was by far the best one we have been to. One of the things that made this a fantastic experience was the wagon ride to feed the animals was being pulled by beautiful horses instead of a noisy tractor with fumes. Since there was little noise, no speaker or bullhorn was needed for the driver to tell us about all the animals. Another unique feature was they have baby ducks and bunnies that the children can pick up and hold with adult supervision. There is also a large walk through / petting section that was different than anything I'd been to. You can let yourself in and out of all sorts of animal areas and feed most of them. There were some very unique animals and some of the most beautiful pheasants I have ever seen. My children (ages 4 & 8) absolutely loved this section, as did my husband and I. Everything was very reasonably priced compared to all the other places we have been. It is run by an Amish family that you could tell worked very hard at keeping all the animal areas very clean. You definitely want to opt for the full price and get the wagon ride and petting area.

Great room & service. Always great food(fried chicken our favorite) Great concert @ remodeled Center, Triumphant Quartet always a blessing & love the new layout of seats. Not the best theater play we've seen there but it was still good. Try to go at least once a year.

Many of the shop owners are local - a huge variety of products are sold here from well known brand name products to locally handcrafted items. Local hand made quilts and other hand crafted fabric items, soft pretzels, Amish made lawn furniture and kitchen cabinets, locally designed ladies clothing, and a few locally made craft items mixed in with other good quality crafts. The building itself is a pleasure to see. Finish your visit with a pie on the 3rd floor baked by a local Amish lady.
