We had a wonderful birthday party at 3 Palms Zoo! The staff took care of us entirely. We were able to feed the new Prairie Dogs sweet potatoes, and had the whole place to ourselves for 2 hours! Would highly recommend for any animal loving children!
We love what you are doing for all those animals! Our family loved it! It is such a wonderful place for the family to come to bring small children. Love that they could pet and feel the animals. Can't wait until our next visit! Highly recommended!
Love how interactive it is. My 2 year old daughter loved the open area and chance to meet and touch many different animals. Will definitely be back again! Also you can't beat the price and it's super close to home!

A cute little Farm with helpful staff. Great for little kids.
Great small, family friendly, quick stop any day of the year
The staff is always so friendly, and you can tell they care about the animals. They encourage you to ask questions and are willing to tell you all about their furry family. All money they make helps keep their rescue going, so don't hesitate to purchase food from them to feed the animals.

A great little place to get up close and personal with the animals
I took my 3 yr old granddaughter and we both had a great time interacting with the animals. We fed them and just enjoyed our time there. I'm taking another granddaughter there soon so she can experience feeding and petting the animals. One of the chickens followed us around the entire zoo like a tour guide. I thought that was too cute. The duck was talking to us very loudly and I'm pretty sure he got his point across. The guys that were there were so friendly and informative. I'm excited to go back. I recommend going as an adult and or if you have children. I also like the names they gave to the animals😁 Also, the price is inexpensive so it won't break your wallet.
This place is a scam ! We drove there and it was completely dark. The sign was falling apart. I called multiple times and no answer and no online update about closing. This was a Christmas bust ! Horrible place and absolutely do not recommend this scam of a place to anyone! Do not pay online because you’ll get ripped off !!

Great time!
Visited during their Boo at the Zoo weekend and had a blast. Owner was very hospitable and saw him several times during our visit. You get up close and personal with so many animals. Definitely worth the price of admission!
This is my favorite field trip for Kindergarten. It’s totally fenced in and safe so I feel comfortable letting my kids explore in their own. Very reasonable price and the owner in incredible and walks around telling the kids about the animals. We come every year.
My son and I took my Granddaughter/niece. We had a blast so much to see and the interaction we got with the animals was exciting for all 3 of us. We will definitely be back with the rest of the family.
Every person we encountered was genuinely kind, the music and decorations were appealing as well as not scary for my children. Will definitely be coming again.
Too bad you were no longer able to feed the animals. Appreciate the stuff for making "smores" but maybe a different setup. Everyone was just using their hands to get the marshmallows out of the bag. Missed the hay ride this year as well.
It was our first time visiting…. We are two old birds, so we fit in well🤭
The owner is very friendly and kind, as evidenced by all the animals he cares for.
The donkey was fun and did bite me, as warned….. I lived and no blood was drawn. I guess it was his way of telling me that he loved me. Chickens, ducks and geese followed us as though we were the Pied piper.. It was a fun and relaxing time with many more animals to love on.

Love this zoo
Love this zoo, it’s great for all age kids. The kids can walk around at their own pace and look at all the cool animals that are there.
