We spent an hour and half there, but I think typically you just get the hour, we were the last of two cars though! We went around over and over. It’s nice they let you do it as many times as you want bc different animals were waiting for food each time so if we missed some we caught them on another loop

It’s our 2nd time going. I think it’s worth the drive. And if you go on a nice day you can pick up food and find somewhere outside to picnic to make a day of it!

@livvie4945 were there any issues with your car getting scratched?  
by (6.7k points)
@gumbotil10 no. They say to skip the horns if worried and they aren’t liable etc etc. which our mirror got pushed in a couple times lol we are animal lovers though, so don’t care. but none of them jump up or anything! They just stick their head right to the window

@livvie4945 thank you! My husband is so worried our new van will be scratched.

Totally get it! If mine was new I would be worried too LOL but actually I would be more concerned about the gravel path than the animals there’s a lot of rocks to drive on!

Yes, we went this past Saturday and had a good time. It is short drive thru but you can go around multiple times. For me it was worth it to get out of the house.

@chalcidice what’s the cost?  
by (390 points)
@cairns4 I am not really sure. A guesstimate is around 50 dollars.

It’s probably around 20 minutes, but you can go through over and over. make sure you aren’t in a car. Mine bottomed out on the rocks many times. So, I only went once.

@dishonesty what’s the cost? Website says $18 per adult and $11 per kid. Is that correct?  
by (190 points)
@cairns4 yes that’s correct . I purchased online along with the bucket of food .  
by (6.8k points)
@dishonesty is it worth it? Seems pricey for a family of four. How much is a bucket of food? What kind of food is it? Sorry so many questions
by (190 points)
@cairns4 $5 for food , it really depends On how much are you into animals. Hard to say sorry  . It is pricey but my kids enjoyed it.

We went last weekend and my kids 13 and 9 enjoyed it. It only takes maybe 20 min to drive through but you can go as many times as you want. They gave us feed buckets and the third time around we got lots of animals to come to us. Yes gravel is rough on car and yes could possibly get scratched by the Longhorns but was fun!

We went last weekend, kids had a great time. It’s not fancy but we had fun and were able to feed most of the animals by going through 3 times.

@stinkstone cost?  
by (650 points)
@cairns4 we did the Groupon but I don’t think there is one anymore. $48 for 5 of us but without Groupon I think it would have been closer to $80
by (6.8k points)
@stinkstone thanks I called and no one answered. I will wait and see I’m overly excited to go anywhere besides the grocery store  
by (650 points)
@cairns4 that’s the way we felt too, it was good to get out and feel a little bit normal. Hope you have fun!  
by (6.8k points)
@stinkstone thanks. I’ll check it out! I wonder what kind of food. I could probably get my own

Worth it! I think the drive was an hour and a half or something like that. Not too bad.
