Amazing!!! I absolutely loved my experience here. You’re able to get up close and personal with so many animals. I got in the deer pen and goat pen and it was just awesome. You’re able to hold baby goats! Such a fun time and reasonably priced. If you’re in the area, definitely visit this place. We were two adults and still had a great time!

Its a fun way to burn an hour. Tickets for 3 adults (anyone aged 12+) are $13.99 — its also $2.50 for a 22oz cup of feed, which can be refilled for just over a dollar. Its a petting zoo, so the experience isnt complete unless you buy feed.There wasnt really enough animals to call it an exotic petting zoo, seeing as you can really only get in and play with the deer and goats. That being said, they do have zebras you can pet, though they didnt really seem to enjoy that once they realized we hadnt bought an apple for $.50 at the door. I personally feel as though it was a little pricey for 3 people who were paying to feed someones animals cheap feed and uncooked corn. However, we dont regret going, and it was a good way to spend a weekend. Just not something youd do more than once. The goats were really the main attraction.

This exotic animal petting zoo is the best. This is our 5th time going there and we enjoy it immensely every time. You can purchase, at a very modest price, a large cup of feed or sliced apples to feed the animals by hand and you get to keep the decorative cup as a souvenir. Their animals are extremely well taken care of and its obvious they get plenty of love and affection. When one of the baby goats started choking on a piece of grain, we notified one of the workers who immediately called it over the radio and multiple employees came to the rescue. They took the baby to a separate building and stayed with it until they were able to dislodge the grain. Afterward, they cared enough to look for us, to let us know that the baby goat is alright now. They massaged his throat until he coughed up the blockage and that he is still learning to eat grains. They also told us that the babys momma had abandoned her 4 kids and that they had to bottle feed them all and they had recently been switched to regular feed. He even knew all of the kids names. I strongly recommend that everyone go and pet all the animals. Youll be glad you did. It was a great time.

Absolutely amazing and a memorable experience. Highly recommended and a MUST to experience. Friendly staff and Owner. All very knowledgeable.

Giving the petting zoo 5 stars because it was a great experience for our 5 year old. We went on Thanksgiving weekend and we knew crowds would be heavy. Because of covid they control how many can be in the gift shop for purchasing tickets and animal food. While you wait, a nice lady tells you about the animals and gives tips on what to feed the animals and how to hold your hand with food to prevent accidental bite/pinches. If you go into the pens to feed the deer or go into the goat pen, be prepared in case you step in something, lol! You’re in their house. The pony ride was nice as you (adult) lead your child on a pony around a path. The drive to and from the petting zoo is gravel and one way.

The horseback riding was fantastic, our guide was great at feedback and teaching, and the trail was beautiful. Petting zoo was fine, it had been raining the last few days so it was extra muddy and mucky, but there isnt much more than just a normal petting zoo. They did have some cool exotic animals though.

Great experience, perfect way to spend an hour if you have toddlers. It was about $50 for two adults, a child (3-9), a toddler, (1-2), two large feed cups, and an apple for the camels. One thing I like was that they allow you to actually go into the pen with the goats and deer to feed them, something a lot of the petting zoos dont do. The walking path has a moderate incline, so strollers are recommended, rather than trying to carry a larger toddler up the hill. The staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals all seemed healthy and energetic. The only thing I didnt like was the pathways were a mix of gravel, concrete, and mud. I feel like it would be a better experience if they added chat walkways or perhaps even rock. It would help keep things cleaner. Also maybe add a few more species? Would definitely recommend! We will be back!

I was very pleased with this little gem, it was one of the highlights of my visit to the pidgeon forge area! My family went to the smoky mountain deer farm on a Friday morning. It was fairly busy but not so much that we couldnt enjoy ourselves. My 2 year old loved seeing the animals and riding the pony once she warmed up to it.If there was one thing that stood out about this place, it was the employees attitudes. Every single person we spoke to was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, which goes a long way. The lady at the counter was very happy to explain to us the rules with feeding the animals and the gentleman named Jinx at the pony rides was absolutely outstanding. He was very patient with my daughter getting warmed up to the pony (her name was Gypsy) and never made us feel rushed throughout the entire process. He even told us that if she didnt get to do the ride they would happily give us a full refund. That sort of business practice goes a long way and it was very appreciated even though we were able to successfully go on the ride.Even the folks cleaning and maintaining the stalls were eager to talk to us rather than silently working in the background.If youre in the area, definitely give this place a shot, youll be glad you did.

We took our boys, ages 2 and 5 here so they could feed different animals. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The lady giving the instructions on feeding the animals at the door was great! You could tell she really has a love for these animals. There are kangaroos, deer, camels, zebras, goats, llamas, and much more. We were able to go in the pen with the deer and goats. We were also able to hold the baby goats. A great, inexpensive way to have fun outdoors.

We has a wonderful time!! Our 2 year old was in heaven with the goats, deer, and ponies. Very reasonably priced!. Kept a 2 year old entertained for 4 hrs, she probably could have stayed all day. Lil Joe was the best pony ever!! She had a wonderful time riding him :) Will come back for sure

This place is awesome . I got to pet so many sweet animals . The staff here are careful and informative so no mishaps happen . Well i sure had a good time . I got to feed many of them straight out of my hand and I got to face my fear of goats . They have enclosed spaces that you can go in and pet little goats and deer . What an experience! They also have some exotic animals . So you can let and few, they wouldnt advice . Well worth the trip and money (which a ticket is super cheap!) Keep up the great work you guys

An amazing place to take the kids with some really cool animals to see, pet and feed. They staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. Just watch out for the deer

Loved holding the baby goats. Staff was very friendly and informative. Nice little place with a fun interactive experience with goats and deer. A little concerned with the weight of the largest horse and the kangaroos. They appear malnourished. I know next to nothing about bulls, but one had a very large spread of horns that kept almost getting stuck in the wired fence. It didnt seem appropriate room for a bull with that horn spread but I do think that they also have pasture space for them to roam.Would love to see paper towels and hand sanitizer at the entrance/exit of each pen. Loved that they had the option to buy fruit as well as the typical seed and corn mixture.

The most fantastic magical place ever! To feed, pet, hug, and hold goats and deer and get to come close to and feed camels and horse, zebras, elk, bunnies, and so much more is fun for all animal lovers. Totally worth going to if youre in town.

This place has a lot of animals that the kids will love. This place is a great family friendly activity. This place is off the beaten path and Google maps did a fantastic job of getting us right to where we need to be. They also have plenty of signs to help as well. The price for two adults one 6-year-old and a 2-year-old and a few snacks for the animals was $47. I thought it was kind of expensive, but it is definitely an experience the kids loved it. They do offer pony rides but I thought $9 was a little steep. When we went it was in the mid 90s and they didnt have any drinks which was disappointing. They do however allow you to leave and come back as often as you want which is very nice.! This is definitely a spot to add on your trip!

Great views, great prices, awesome staff! Didnt expect so many experiences to be sold out during our weekend but when I called this place for a horseback ride they worked hard to fit us in. When we missed our time because of GPS problems they were awesome about finding us a new time. The guide was super nice and it was a perfectly relaxing, fun ride. To top things off it was nice to find out they use rescue horses. Would totally go again.

Nathan was great with our kids! My 7year old rode Rosie and had a fantastic time. We were out for about an hour and went slow and steady (we also had a 4 year old). Both kids asked to go back! We also enjoyed feeding the animals at the petting zoo. We really enjoyed going in with all the deer. Great time!

Love this place! If u want to pick up the adorable little goats and feed the deer, bringcq change of clothes cuz you will get some poo on you, but totally worth it lol!

Genuinely nice people working here. A lot of sweet animals to pet. I got to carry a baby goat! Fair price and very fun experience.

We had a great time here! The prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere was fun. All of the animals were friendly. Being able to go inside with the goats and deer was a great experience. Even my 1 yo was able to participate and feed the animals.

The first time I went here was eleven years ago and have been going since! This place never disappoints me on any levels. I enjoy all aspects of Deer Farms. The staff are very friendly, The animals are in good shape, and it’s over fun. I even have a picture of me with Henry (The belgian horse) when I was age 3! I love so much to walk over and see his cute little (big) face. Definitely recommend from kids and animal lovers.

Wow! This is the coolest place! You can feed apples to camels. Feed deer, goats, zebras, emus, llamas, lots of other critters to look at.. elk, donkey, zonkey (yeah, thats right). I know I left something off the list. This is a must see place. Plan on 90 minutes at least. You can buy apples and feed. If you run out, no problem. Go back and get refills at reduced cost. Even the adults can act like kids. Oh yeah, you ARE allowed to pick up the baby goats!

I recommend this place! very friendly and Candice the guide was so nice on our horse trip of 30 minutes, my horse was Dot, a Belgian horse race kind, very large, and Lovely people from there, Thank you and help the local Business to keep this places open

Very friendly staff, somewhat small but you can easily spend a good amount of time at each animals habitat. I feel that it was a tad overpriced for the size, if pony rides were included I would have no qualms. Be sure to bring a change of shoes and clothes if you are going anywhere afterwards, some enclosures can get muddy and the animals may jump on you or bite your shirt (in a friendly playful way). The goats and the deer are definitely the main stars of the place. The camels are quite friendly and easy to feed.

Many animals to see, feed, and pet. The baby goats love to be picked up and held. Very friendly staff and informative instruction. Great place to visit!

Lisa guided us on horseback and was very patient with my child who was learning. The trail we took was slow and peaceful and we saw deer.The petting zoo was great as well. You can be in the pens with goats and deer and yes pet thenlm, feed them, and hold them(baby goats.) Well worth any price they charge!

Perfect for families with kids of all ages. The staff is friendly and the animals are well taken care of.

Off the main strip, but more than worth the drive! We had so much fun feeding the animals, and getting to pet many different exotic animals. The animals here were eager and willing to wat and loved human interaction! The price here is affordable for both admission and to feed the animals.

The kids had a great time and we got to see and pet lots of exotic and unique animals

The petting zoo was nice. They have to explain a lot in the begining about the animals which was hard to remember and hard to listen when your trying to keep your kids out of all the items in the gift shop at the same time. The animals were all excited to eat. We did a pony ride and my daughter loved it. Prices were very reasonable. Restrooms were clean and staff were polite.

My grandson and I went there for the first time this past Saturday. Enjoyed it very much. The animals are well taken care of and the lady that gave us instructions before letting us enter was very knowledgeable and helpful. The next time we go we will bring a change of clothes so we can hold the baby goats and wipe the slobber off our hands on our clothes like I use to do when I was young and feeding them out of my hands. Then we can wash up, change our clothes and go out to eat. My grandson told me on the way home he has waited for over 13 years to be able to come here. Thank you so much for this adventure! We will be back.️️️

Fun fun fun place. If you love petting and feeding animals, this place is for you!

Awesome place for kids. Very friendly and full info provided. Loved it

We absolutely LOVE it here!!! The deer pen and goat pen are our absolute favorites! Who doesnt love cuddling baby goats? :) lots of animals to see, pet, and feed...(goats, deer, camel, horses, bulls, and more) $3.50 for large cup of feed, and 50 cents for apples....Good petting zoo for the price...plan on spending about 2 hours here.

This place was awesome! Much better than a regular petting zoo. Wanted to take all the goats home with me!

Visited this farm with kids who absolutely loved it. They have several animals in their petting zoo and unlike other places, this petting zoo was big in size. The staff is very welcoming and friendly.Kids also loved pony rides they had to offer. We were planning to do some horse back riding ourselves but due to shortage of time had to defer it till next time were back in the area. When in the farm, drive very slow in the parking area while watching out for cats and horses that maybe crossing the trails.

We had so much fun! My kids had a great time. Staff was great and very knowledgeable.

One of our favorite stops on our trip. Is a must for anyone who has kids that love animals.

This place is great! Our guide was awesome and very informative. My 2 year old son was able to ride with me and he actually LOVED IT. Will definitely be back.

Its a really fun place for children that loves animals to see more than the usual types of animals at petting zoos. It also has pony rides. I just wish there were attendants at each petting area to tell the children a little about the animals. The rabbits were not accessible.

We loved this place it was amazing my 2 year old enjoyed all the animals we were there a week ago and shes still talking about the animals there.

We came to this place when or daughter was 5 and came back 20 years layer with our granddaughter. So many new memories

This place was amazing. There are so many animals to interact with from goats to camels to zebras. The kids had an amazing time and so did I. They offer chances for the kids to take a pony ride, you get to feed many of the animals and hold baby goats.

Got to feed and pet Zebras, camels, miniature horses, bovis, Zonkey, emu, ostrich and more. Was aloud to walk amongst, feed, and pet deer and goats. Can also pet Jack the kangaroo if he will let you but you cant feed him. Many more animals to see and interact with. Also have pony and horses rides we didnt have time for this time.

The lady at the desk was a little pushy but in an extremely friendly way. The animals didnt enjoy being pet or approached very much. They only wanted the food and you cant pet them without them eating from your hands. They have a Zonkey which makes the visit even better. He was very friendly and did enjoy petting.

Great place and great experience petting all the available animals present at their farm. We were able to go inside the cages and pet the Deer very closely.

Kids loved it and so did the adults. Animals all seemed happy, and there was lots of types of pettable creaturesNo mask enforcement currently which is a bit off putting but it seems like that a lot more in the south anyway

We enjoyed the deer farm on our family trip with our 19 month old! She loved being surrounded by goats and deer! The camels are very friendly and the most gentle animal there was the Elk! We did get nipped by a donkey but you are feeding animals yourself that love all this attention a bite/nip is bound to happen.The staff was great and they tell you everything that you need to know before you see the animals.We personally do not do a pony ride but our daughters 4 year old aunt did a week before us and she loved it :)A great place overall it wasnt too expensive it was definitely worth the money especially if youre going to spend an hour or two there.*The only thing I can suggest to parents of younger children is when youre in the deer and goat enclosures to keep an eye on them picking up poop because our little one kept thinking the deer poop was beans and pick them up a lot they have restrooms available to clean up so its nothing to get too upset about.

We have been coming to the area for years but had no idea this place existed. I stumbled upon it yesterday online while looking for new things to do. We visited today and had a blast! We had two adults and no kids in our group but we felt like kids while there. We loved the deer and goats the most because you can enter the pens with them. It was pretty cool to be surrounded by them, pet them and hold the baby goats.The price was affordable even with buying some feed and apples for feeding the animals. We will definitely be going back in a future visit down here!

A little expensive, but it’s worth it! It’s a great place for children to pet animals.

Loved it. We had a great time. Animals appeared to be happy and healthy. We even got to hold baby goats!

We found this place 2 years ago and we go every year now!!! Its so nice to be able to touch and feed animals you usually dont get to at other places. Plus my daughter loves riding horses!

Best day ever!! Loved the deer and goats ! Great people there as well! Will be back!

This is a true hidden gem. Our family visits Pigeon Forge about monthly and had never heard of this place until last weekend. The area is very clean. The animals are very well taken care of. All of the animals seem super happy and are very well nourished. They have lots of room to roam including some pasture areas that are not seen unless youre looking. The food cups are well worth the money. My son absolutely had a blast feeding the animals. As an adult I even enjoyed it. You can literally pick every animal thats in the park. The prices are very reasonable. They also have pony rides for children. These arrives are parent led. My little boy had an absolute blast. The pony was very calm and very well taken care of. I have a feeling we will visit this place frequently.

So much fun!!! I loved petting and feeding the animals. My husband liked the camels the best, but I liked everything. The goats were a lot of fun & it turns out that kangaroos are super soft! Its a very inexpensive way to have a really great time. The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable & seemed genuinely happy to see us.

The animals needed many upgrades outside, they were living in pretty poor living conditions. It also seemed a bit overpriced to us. All of the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

If I could give this place a higher rating I would!!! You can tell how well taken care of the animals are. We had so much fun 10/10 reccomend

We had so much hands-on fun feeding all the animals! Gentle deer, baby goats even the littlest kids can pick up, and towering camels to name just a few. The staff was helpful and warm, wed take the kids again in a heartbeat.

Its was great. Its great for kids. The animals are so friendly and its cheap. You can pet most of the aniamls and they get well fed.

It was a good experience. The kids enjoyed the farm. Horse back riding was a blast! Even the younger kids were very pleased. It was a great day.

Small zoo perfect for small children. My 28 month old really enjoyed feeding the deer

Surprisingly cool! Barely smelled like there were so many animals there and the animals were incredibly friendly.

Love this place... we take large group pf homeschoolers annually/bi-annually!! These folks are so wonderful to work with, and the zoo itself is a blast. Baby goat season is our favorite time of year!

We all enjoyed this place. Feeding the animals was fun and the pony rides were cute. They really take care of their animals.

I love this place. We really love feeding the animals and riding the ponies. The donkeys are so funny. They laugh at you lol. I Would return if/ when I come back to Tennessee.

You will be impressed! Staff super friendly. Amazing variety of animals. Memorable interactive experience!

Very cool place. The animals are well taken care of. The employees were nice.

Nice outing with the kids and grandchildren not lots of money. The staff knew there stuff listen follow what they say.

Great fun! You get to pet and feed the animals! Hold baby goats and play in the enclosure with the goats and the deer. Reasonable pricing. Great for whole family!

Definitely a must go for kids. Friendly staff, animals. Clean. Pony rides were fun.

Great staff and it was fun. Lots of animals to enjoy and feed if you would like to. Would recommend for all . It was a lot of fun .

This place is always fun. The staff is super nice and the animals are always out and excited to see you... And your cup of food.

My family loves this place. Petting zoo with baby goats and pony rides! Next time will be trying the horse rides.

Had such a wonderful time. Not to expensive either.

Our guide was John. It was our second year coming here while on vacation and its well worth leaving the tourist area to go visit them. There were people on the same ride as us that had trouble with their horses (not the horses fault) and John was far more patient than I could ever be. The horses are all rescues and fat and happy.

It was fun. Not too expensive and we got to carry around baby goats. Lots of animals to feed.

DefinitelyVisit here! The owners are friendly and it is a real petting zoo.

Nice place, great place to interact with animals, gives kids a chance to experiance nature.. Staff is friendly and helpful. Have been 2x and will be back again.

Absolutely worth the money our kids loved being able to play w all the animals. The amount of feed they give you is so worth the visit you have enough to feed every animal you see there. You were allowed to pick some of the animals up and hold them. Deff an amazing experience.

Great family fun! Weve been here multiple times and always enjoyed. Even though it was really busy this time they did a good job minimizing the amount of people inside the farm. One star deducted for going by what their governor is saying what is acceptable with covid. Wearing facemasks is respect for others, all your employees should wear them regardless of what your local laws state.Good times, good family fun. We will be back.

Was more than I was expecting or hoping for. We spent about 2 hours here and enjoyed every single minute. We had to visit the goat pen more than once because the goats were so fun to play with and hold...will definitely make a return trip in the near future. Every one in our group enjoyed it, ranging from 2 yrs of age to adult.

You cant beat it. The staff is friendly, the animals are cute and fuzzy, and almost every animal wants you to feed or pet them. Its worth the drive and the money!

The entire staff was friendly and awesome. Lots of interaction with the animals. Jinx with the pont rides was aweome and Tootsie was super sweet. Def recommend and will be back.

Came here on our vacation and the kids had a blast! The price is very reasonable and the feed cup was more than enough for my 2 boys to share! The animals all looked like they were in great shape, other than a couple that you could tell were hitting old age, but thats just nature for ya. Was able to spend about an hour and half here which for us was the perfect amount of time. Will definitely return in our future trips!

Very friendly staff. Enjoyed both the horse back riding and petting zoo. Had 3 teenagers with me and they loved both also, but esp baby goats. They took reservations which was a relief after spending the previous day in line at two other places who didnt take reservations. (The other two establishments seemed more commercial and not personal).

Loved this place. The animals looked like they were really taken care of. The place was well maintained and organized and the staff had great suggestions for other local attraction. Highly recommend it especially if you have kids.

This place is super cool. They have so many fun animals (make sure you save the food if you buy some, dont waste it all at the beginning. I ran out really fast and then I had none when we got to some of the animals). You get to meet and pet all these exotic fancy animals. The kangaroo loved being scratched on the chest. They also have lots of goats and trail rides. Definitely check this out no matter what age you are.

First time visiting. LOVED the experience. Very hands on. Animals all are very sweet. Will be returning in the future!

Amazing staff and beautiful animals!! Such a wonderful establishment!! Definitely a must for any visitor to the Great Smoky Mountains!!

We love it. The little ones and us adults had a great time, wish it was bigger

Very friendly staff. They were great with kids and the animals. No questions on how anything is, pricing is very good and communicated very well.

It was so much fun! The animals were all so sweet! If you are an animal lover you will enjoy it. Plus baby goats!!! Thats all ya need to know!

Petting farms are my go to anytime I go on vacation! I may be an adult, but I still love them. This one was a little on the higher priced side than other ones Ive been to, but its a lot bigger than most. The animals look healthy and there different species than a lot of the other pettong zoos.

This place is so much fun! You can feed fallow deer, goats, camels, a zebra and also reindeer - they love apples :-) Feeding cups can be refilled through your visit. They also have a Belgian horse, zonkey, kangaroos, elks, rabbits and few cats running around. All staff is friendly making sure you have a great time :-)

Excellent for small kids! They really enjoyed the pony rides and the staff is super helpful!

So, before I get into everything the people up front were so incredibly nice and friendly! It’s important to also note that the 13.99 for adults does not include refillable feed cups and apples for the camels. I loved, LOVED LOVED LOVED being able to feed and play with the goats and deer, absolutely loved being able to pet the rest of the animals too (except for the birds) I think by far my favorite was definitely the Belgian Horse that was absolutely massive.I think more than anything this place is absolutely amazing and I will definitely come back again, but I would do my best to avoid taking kids here that are younger than maybe 7 years old around the bigger animals because after all you are dealing with all kinds of different species and while safety precautions are an order animals are incredibly unpredictable. I loved this place!

This was a nice stop away from the crowds in Pigeon Forge. They have a good assortment of animals that are more than happy to take your food. We had a great time visiting.

This place was absolutely awesome. I wasnt expecting a lot out of this place and we were pleasantly surprised. My kids had a great time petting the goats, zebra, deer and kangaroo. It was pretty fairly priced considering what you were able to do, and I was surprised at the lack of poop. Well be back.

We had a wonderful time horseback riding with my 6 year old! She loved it! She rode Thor and I rode Spirit. I wish we would have had time to bring her back for another ride. Looking forward to coming back here for our next trip.

Took our 11 month old here with us! We had a blast. It really is off the beaten path but WELL worth it. definitely recommend!!
