“Fantastic place! We took the kids here to ride around on the ponies that are done up like unicorns, and they absolutely loved it! Karen is very nice and is only too happy to take the kids around and show them lots of different and beautiful animals. The kids got to ride animals, feed animals, pet animals and they said a number of times that it was the best day ever and they didn't want to leave, oh and it's very reasonably priced too.”
