βAnother hidden treasure in the Hamilton area. Well worth the visit for all the family. Hold, touch, pat and feed their pets. The team are very helpful and more than happy to bring pets to you for a pat.. horse/pony rides. Don't forget to go see Big Red... a gentle giant.β

βSmall petting farm but overpriced for what you get. Paid $60 for family pass and made it round the entire place within 40 mins. The redeeming factor was a baby alpaca that was there. Horses were inside stables and not friendly. Would not return.β
