River Street Ranch

Family friendly petting zoo, would visit again. The location is great - lots of food, shops and people watching in the area. Google maps took me to the far end of the pedestrian way and we got lucky with street parking after circling a few times. Very limited parking between the zoo and the train station. On the way out I noticed there was as a paid lot on the other end of the pedestrian way. Will use that next time. Fill out the wavier and get tickets beforehand to avoid the potentially long line. The feed tray isn’t cheap but makes the experience even better. The emu is terrifying but makes for great entertainment when it snatches food out of kids hands. The guinea pig area was nice - you get to sit with one animal and relax a bit. Not much seating in the petting area otherwise. If you visit, would definitely recommend making time to grab a meal and ice cream in the area.

This is a really wonderful shopping and dining development that has something for everyone. 90 min parking is free if you validate and that's plenty of time to scope it out. However, if you have kids you will probably stay longer because the green park in the center and the petting zoo are huge draws. Plus, the restaurants are plentiful. I wish my Aunt was alive to see this to completion because it's a wonderful addition to a lovely area. Highly recommend a visit 👌 👍 👏 😀 😊

This place is AMAZING we’ve been coming here for 3 years since my toddlers were babies. First off thank you for considering military members, children under 3 free and for the beautiful renovations that have been made. We gladly are here the moment they open for 2-3 hours, there are animals, you can feed animals, tractor ride age 3+, a train ride, excavator ride, a pony ride, lamas, a playground!!!! Like everything your child would want lol. There’s new shops & a food like 10 steps away. Great job zoomars your employees are also great!!!!

A bit overpriced but kids under 3 are free. Make sure to sign the waiver while in line, or they may make you turn around and get out of line to do so. It didn’t seem they had printed ones available instead. There was a very long line for the excavator attraction and not much communication as to what was taking so long - seemed like arbitrary wait times per ride. Thankfully there was a playground right by the line to preoccupy the kids while the adults waited. The petting zoo itself was nice. We pet and fed goats, llamas, alpacas, and llampacas and saw chickens, pigs, an emu, and chickens. I believe the bunnies and guinea pigs were not out today because it was too hot, which was understandable, and I’m grateful they seemed to be considerate of the animals and their diets (in addition, there was a sign by the rabbit enclosure saying they were on a diet & to only feed select vegetables).

My 8 year old niece and I had a fantastic time while there. My only complaint is how expensive it has gotten. I know they have to pay to take care of the animals and pay the employees but it was rather expensive to get in and nothing was included. We still had to buy food to feed the animals and do other activities. We were only there for about an hour and a half and spent nearly $100. A little too rich for my pocketbook

Even though this place had a lot of children playing, there is really nothing for them to do. A majority of the restaurants are bars that cater to adults. The only thing for children was the river street petting zoo, which in my opinion was kind of expensive ($10 children and $15 for adults, and they charge for every ride and excursion). Be aware that the parking is $2 an hour.

Great, calm and clean ranch. Attentive and friendly staff. We liked it and enjoyed it so much! $35 One adult, and one kid. You have the right to pet animals. Pony ride $8 (one lap) with Mr. Gerardo, a kind and nice person: was amazing! He guided my son beautifully. I really appreciated his attitude 🙂 The place has different kind of activities to do. There is a Playground too!

This place exceeded my expectations. The animals look very well cared for and happy. It was so adorable to feed the pigs and the llamas. A feed basket is $6 but well worth it. Entry is incredibly overpriced since they put in River Street next door but we had a great time, so we'll be returning. If you're going on the weekend I would definitely be there at the opening because it gets incredibly busy.
