BARNYARD PETTING ZOO

The Barnyard Petting Zoo, established in 1981, is a fun, educational and true petting zoo family experience allowing up-close, hands-on farm animal activity..

Little did we know when we started our collection of baby barnyard animals that our passion would one day become our livelihood.

All of our barnyard babies are birthed on the farm & are hand & bottle raised. With so many newborns, bottle feeding is extremely time consuming & a monumental task but worth all the effort when the babies bond with us….trust us & being comfortable with humans….

This hands-on approach of feeding & training enables them to be on stage & screen doing TV & movie work. Appearing on David Letterman, Good Morning America, Rachel Ray, Wendy Williams, Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show with animal expert, Robert Irwin to name a few.

From preschools to colleges, daycares to nursing homes, backyard parties to mega events, family, company & corporate, fairs, festivals & community days, even wedding receptions….you name it & we’ve done it!

Our animals have been featured with Jack Hanna on Good Morning America, David Letterman and center stage at the Benedum Theatre to participate in operas, have starred on Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood, done church pageants, nativity scenes, training videos, and television commercials.

Hi! That’s me, Jan Marchezak with animal expert, author and national television personality Jack Hanna (director, emeritus, Columbus Zoo) on the set of Good Morning America with one of our baby miniature donkeys featured on the show. That same day the donkey and some of our other barnyard babies were also on David Letterman. What an experience! Jack Hanna is awesome! He genuinely loves animals and is a strong advocate for animal education encouraging all of us in the animal industry to continue our efforts to display, educate and entertain generations on the importance of every animal and how they affect our lives.

Absolutely FANTASTIC 100% suggest visiting with family and small children or even as adults. Went with my wife and 4 kids and even my 11 month old baby had a blast. From the bottle feeding babies to hand feeding the adult animals and cuddling with puppies the whole family loved it!

What a wonderful idea for a kids party, but the adults enjoyed it too. Very professional. The animals were beautiful, well taken care of and loved to get fed. Had this for my grandchild's 2nd Birthday party. He loved the pony ride. Supervised and safe. I would highly recommend this and you get five stars too!

This experience is amazing. I cannot recommend the petting zoo tour enough. My daughter had her 4th birthday celebration here and the experience was nothing short of magical. There are tons of baby animals to pick up and feed. Also Romeo the camel is NOT to be missed. The staff is kind, patient and friendly.
