Lots of fun
We were late but they still were very accommodating. We were able to see and touch most of the animals and some baby bunnies too. We got to feed the goats and horse and also play around on the trains. There was a great train set up on the second floor which we spent a lot of time at. The next day my kid said he wanted to go back to the Buffalo Ranch he loved it so much.
