We spent about three hours at the animal park! There were tons of activities and different animals to see. The kids loved it. Worth the $60 we spent on tickets especially when comparing to chuck e cheese or a bounce park. I would highly recommend to bring a small bag lunch. We packed light snacks. The food pricing was very high $8 cheeseburgers and $5 Hotdogs $5 for lemonade. Overall great experience looking forward to returning next year.

Way better than I remember a few years ago. Lots of fun stuff for the little one. Animals are clean and well taken care of. My daughter loved the tractor ride, and the pedal cars. The bouncys and slides are always fun too.

Took my youngest son to Leesburg Animal Park it was a really hot day so we didnt stay to long, but it was really neat there was camels and zebras monkeys etc the day we were there they had a show n tell guy showing snakes. You can buy feed the feed the animals but mostly animals were laying down and not very active because it was a 102 heat index. My child I had a really nice time. It would be worth going back again on a cooler day.

The place is very nice... many people but not too crowded. Lot of games for kids like various types of slides, train, gokart, pony rides, small houses etc. We spent whole morning shift there from 10 till 13.30. The apple cider they give for tasting is very good!

Took my son to the fall festival over the weekend and he had so much fun he did not want to leave! So many different activities for children they can’t get bored. Very well adapted to COVID guidelines, I loved how every station had hand sanitizing stations. Highly recommend!

Our 7 year old daughter had an amazing birthday party here at the Leesburg Animal Park! The staff were wonderful and professional, especially the front desk supervisor Irene, our party host McKenzie, and the general manager Megan. They were very helpful in hosting our party of 40+ guests, treated our guests with a smile on their faces, and were so generous and flexible with their time. Our party host McKenzie workd hard to help us set up the party room; kept calm throughout the party of 20+ little monsters, and always offering help when we needed it. The price was more than fair and the activities for the kids were super fun. We had so many compliments! We will definitely come back to host more birthday parties at the Leesburg Animal Park.

I dont understand some of the negative reviews. This very spacious and well kept park has LOTS of different animals (mostly farm type from all over the world), also has a few others too, like zebras, camels, lemurs, porcupine, gibbons, etc. All the animals appeared very well kept and their environments all had things in them to stimulate them. You wont see elephants and lions and tigers and bears, but there is lots to see and do. I dont feel its expensive at all, and Im pretty frugal. My granddaughter and I spent at least 3 fun hours there today. We toured the whole park. My favorite is lemur Island. She loved feeding the animals and playing on the many play areas they have. This animal park is definitely geared toward children. I will be sure to go back with my grandchildren in the fall for the pumpkin patch. We were there on Wednesday, not crowded, no long lines, social distancing was easy.

Lovely place to spend a few hours. Geared toward younger elementary school set. Perfect for my first grader.Please note: 50%-80% of adults not wearing masks and 90% of children not wearing masks. They make announcements but no enforcement. It was quite uncomfortable and we ended up leaving early.

This place was extremely beautiful, and my boyfriend and I really enjoyed coming here. What was the best were the many free roaming geese and ducks. They also have wagon rides, horse rides and camel rides. Also the trainers really love their jobs and animals! Would definitely come again!

Review №16

Definitely must bring lunch or eat somewhere before you come. The food is too expensive here. A very small hotdog is $5. My boy wanted cheese dog, they didnt have cheese sauce so they put a slide of white cheese in it and charged me additional $3 for a slide of cheese. Total I had to pay for 2 small cheese dogs was $16 plus tax. So $6 for 2 slides of cheeses :( At grocery store we can buy $5 for a pack of cheese slide and it has about 20 slides). Its unbelievable :(Other than that the park is ok. Love all the animals.

Extremely spacious area. They have some pretty cool animals. Not a ton of them, but just enough to keep you and the little ones occupied for at least two hours.

Review №25

Not what I expected after looking at the reviews before I took my kids. There wasn’t much there as far as animals. I was so confused as to why admission cost didn’t match what was there. Disappointed. And I paid extra for a pony ride that lasted 60 seconds if that. I’ll give 1 star because we did see a cute gibbon with their baby.

A perfect outing with kids. The place is laid out perfectly to keep them interested and happy, with great animal attractions as well as play areas (indoor and outdoor, including a coloring/library room), giant slides, and even fishing!

Review №27

While this place is kind of expensive ($90 for 3 kids and 3 adults) the park is nice. There were several domestic and foreign animals and a large indoor and medium sized indoor playground to wear everyone out. We spent over 2.5 hours there and the kids (all under 10) never once said they were bored.

I understand that COVID calls for certain protocols but masks outside the whole time for young kids (2+) is a little unnecessary. My 5 year old was scolded for sipping an overpriced drink we bought from there because she took her mask down. There were no staff present on the bounce houses or slides making it a free for all and dangerous for younger kids. The food is incredibly overpriced. I paid $40 for hot dogs, chips, water, and snow cones. And was barely allowed to give them $20 more for little stuffed animals for my kids because they had to sanitize the gift shop. Overall, a pretty bad experience and an incredibly expensive day. Would NOT recommend for anyone in the northern VA area. Down in Fredericksburg places are much nicer and cheaper.

Pumpkin time..Columbus day visit, lots of kids and great fun for several hours. Animals and staff all very accommodating. A bit pricey at $16 per person plus pony rides and animal food expenses but memories made with grandsons so $$well spent.

During challenging times, they turn the zoo into a drive around in your car zoo. Was able to see the majority of animals and the kids enjoyed it. Would highly recommend for something to do. Would come back.

One of the best animal interactive parks we have been to. It was so much fun. Being able to go into the contact area and pet and feed the animals close up was awesome. The baby animals meet and greet was adorable. My daughter loved petting a 3 day old lamb. It was very educational. Staff was so helpful and friendly and welcoming. We will def return and highly recommend it.I do wish there was a hand wash station near the contact area especially after feeding the pig lolThe one we found the water was off. Regardless this was a 10/10 for how excellent this place is. Animals look well cared for and happy. What a fun day!

I have been here about 3-4 times here, it is a little bit overpriced but what makes it uncomfortable to visit is that around the play areas and small podium with benches in front haave no umbrellas stands, so you are basically under 100 degrees burning while your kid is burning as well playing, my memories here are painful while my son loves the small houses, wooden boat, slider they desperately need to invest in putting some trees around that area and umbrella stands. Yesterday was my last visit as well a couple I chatted I little bit with, I needed to leave or would need medical attention, I was very concerned about my 3 year old son as well, the show was empty and no one was sitting on the benches because of that. I cant believe they havent invested in a couple of these umbrellas I even have 2 at home.

If your kid is passionate about animals and you want to avoid a bigger zoo trip, this is a wonderful option. Plenty to do, very knowledgeable and helpful staff, and its bigger than you think.

Great for the under 10 crowd. Animals to feed, from various kinds of goats, a camel, pigs, to other rarer types of animals, wallabies, gibbons, lemurs. And tortises. Ride a horse. Take a tractor ride, feed some fish, ride a burlap sack down some longer hill slides, and let the kids play in various wooden structures.

Review №56

I am not a big fan of zoos which handicap animals in unreasonable enclosures. Having said that, Leesburg Animal Park doesnt try to impress you caging in a huge variety of animals : most of them are domesticated animals found on farms. The reason I didnt give a 5 star rating to this otherwise incredible toddler destination is because of poor maintenance of structures. The reason I recommend this place is because 2-6 year olds have plenty to do: animal feeding, petting, park, toy homes to play hide and seek, slides for the young and the old, jungle gym, birthday party celebration packages, video room, horse rides, inflatables to keep bouncing on all day....the list seems endless.

Nice place to bring the kids. The price is a little high, so try to find a groupon. We went on a rainy Saturday afternoon with 1.5 hours to see everything before closing time. Which wasnt a big deal, just wanted to go and check out the zoo come back another time. We will!

Really a great outing for the younger crowd on a nice day. For the price there is tons to do (so much we couldnt do it all before the kids ran out of energy). Many moon bounces and play structures but the highlight was definately the kids zip line and pedal cars. There was so much to do the animals took back seat to the Pumpkin Village activities. Our only suggestion is maybe a few food trucks or snack options so the little ones can refuel and get on to more fun.

So much fun for the whole family! The contact area is a lot of fun for little ones and I love that they have the option to brush the animals. My 5 year old would have happily brushed the animals for hours. We went in the spring so there were a lot of adorable babies. Everyone who worked there was very pleasant. They have so many outdoor play areas that we didnt have time to enjoy the inside playground before we left to have lunch but hope to come back soon and play there! It looked like a lot of fun!

Review №91

Staff was friendly and helpful. We did go on a hot day and animals were pretty much resting or avoiding the heat when possible. The children loved the petting and feeding area but I felt bad for the goats because they were panting from the heat amd there just did not seem like enough shaded area. The outside play space was fun but all of the inflatables were deflated i am assuming due to high temps.All in all i will probably attend again just go during cooler months.

Sa
Review №93

My kids love this place. Its always been awesome, but theyve made it even better by building a better contact area and making a new rule that the goats and sheep can only be fed thru the fence, which keeps one from being bum rushed by overly enthusiastic goats. The pony rides make my kids so happy. We come at least twice a year!

Review №95

I have more experience with wild & exotic animals than most. I can be very critical of animal husbandry and adequate housing. I visited this establishment today, 7/2/19-a hot summer day, and could not be more impressed. The health of the animals (hooves, hair coats, body weight, clean enclosures, etc.) as well as the maintenance of the grounds showed zero faults. Properly owning these animals in todays day and age takes a lot of care and it certainly shows that the owners of Leesburg Animal Park take that seriously. We will be returning!!!

Very nice place, all employees are very kind and greet you with a smile. Set up is nice, loops you around several paths to see all the animals they have. Fun for the family and pleanty of picnic tables if you wanted to bring snacks to enjoy or just relax.
