In the Petting Zoo & More Exhibits Area

Our Petting Zoo and More Exhibits area has a great number and variety of animals from all over the world.  New to the Petting Zoo is the Tropical bird aviary!  Come and see some great animals today! Don't forget your camera!


Patagonian Cavies, the third largest rodent in the world can reach up to 20 pounds!  They are the only truly monogamous rodent in the world and wean their young at just 49 days.  Come feed "Goliath" and his family in the Petting Zoo.


Coatimundi, the Mexican-cousin to the raccoon.  This procyonide is also known as the "hog-nosed coon" and can get into the same mischief as a raccoon.  "Silas & Frankie", a father and son duo are frequently seen playing with their toys and eating treats.


White-tailed Deer, don't confuse this group with their easily-spooked wild cousins.  This herd can't wait to meet you!  Get up close and personal with "Deerlilah" and her gang.


Llamas, don't be afraid of these docile and gentle creatures.  They come all the way from the Andes Mountains in South America.  Their thick coats and strong backs are ideal for packing in the thin air.  Llamas rarely spit and its usually at each other over a silly squabble.


Pygmy Goats, these goats were bred for milk and meat in Africa.  The are extremely smart and do make great pets, if you don't mind a companion that isn't potty-trained.  Pygmys can have up to four kids at a time and come in a variety of colors.


Ostrich, these ratites are very large and the males are very aggressive, especially when they are guarding eggs.  Get them wound-up and they might do a dominance dance for you.


Bottle Babies, there are always bottle-babies in the nursery barn or tucked away by the keepers.  We always have babies on the bottle.  Babies currently in the nursery...as of January 2008...

  • Miss Mocha the pygmy goat
  • Squeaker & Celia the axis deer
  • Mayflower & Noel the muntjac deer
  • Puppy the Scimitar Horned Oryx

There are too many animals to name and mention on the website, so you'll just have to come on down and see all that the Promised Land has to offer!
