Pymatuning Deer Park

Brought my daughter-n-law and two of my grandchildren this past Saturday and a wonderful time was had by all! They loved the entire experience from a pony ride, train ride, feeding and peeing all of the animals. Well definitely be back. I recommend this place to anyone who loves animals!

This was a great experience for us and our two young ones (5 and 6.) Definitely spend the $5 on the pack of crackers. We split one pack between us and it lasted forever. The train ride lets you see animals you can't see on foot. My kids loved the pony ride. Probably one of if not our new favorite local animal park. Take cash to avoid credit card fees.

Pymatuning Deer Park is a must to take your kids and grandchildren to. They can get little food bags or crackers to feed to the animals. I would advise the food bags as the animals like them better than the crackers.

They have a little gift shop and small food place too. You can take a train ride or pony ride for a $3.00 each per person. The grandkids loved both the train ride and pony ride. They also have a little mining area set up!

It's located in Jamestown, Pa and not far from the Conneaut Lake or Meadville area.

We had an absolute blast here!! There is such a vast amount of different animals, and most you can interact with. I can't wait to come again!!!

Been coming here since I was a kid now I get to share the same experience I had with my kids! Such a beautiful place and inexpensive with a lot to do and see! And up close and personal with certain animals and feeding them makes the experience more fun, especially for kids! This has been a tradition of going in our family and will continue on for years to come! DEFINITELY worth going!

My mother hadn't been there is nearly 60 years, and I hadn't for over 30. It was an amazing experience to see what had changed over those many years. They added so many new animals, turning it into a mini zoo. Will definitely go back again as they are adding more animals.

Best little zoo ever! Love this place and have been bringing the kids for many many years! Right now a little sparse on the animating with the bird flu and heat. Budgie bath closed which the kids loved to do. Still with going. Been twice this year already.

Its a great place to take your family for an afternoon if fun. Very much worth the cost of entry, plus buying a few big boxes of food. Keeps the kids happy for a few hours. They have children's horse rides, bird house where you get swarmed by a bunch of bright birds (fun lol), a train ride around the park, and some animals you'd see in zoo like lions, bears, camels, ostriches, emu, and many others. Check them out for sure!

Awesome place to take kids to and adults of all kinds. Petting Zoo was fun! They have a train, which is extra, they have this bird cage that is extra to go inside and pony rides, it is so much fun! Many animals can be feed. Remember that this is a sanctuary for these animals. Kids play ground and picnic tables outside. They do have a gift shop but we choose not to go in.

It's nice and small zoo it's not like we had to spend hours to visit all the animals but it was nice and simple. We visited all the animals and never had issues. It even gets better my kids love that place because they enjoy feeding zoo animals. They love how animals gets closer and have better view of them. It's perfect for our kids! It's not expensive to go just to let you know.!!

Family and I love this place. Such a beautiful change of scenery. Recharge with the fresh air of nature. Truly an amazing, peaceful, relaxing environment. Was able to get my kids off video games for a day was very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend visiting and enjoy some nature and sunshine and beautiful scenery.

Great family fun
Wheelchair and walker friendly park, but it is hilly in spots, so be aware!
The animals all look and smell healthy, well cared for, staff seem happy and enjoy thier jobs.
Did not ride the train, ran out of time, we arrived at 4 and the park closed at 6, I use a walker and we took our time feeding at each cage allowed, "mined" for crystals at the old west town, so do give yourself time to enjoy and not just run from end to the other.
Light rain the day we went and some of the animals, mostly the camels and sheep, were in thier barns per thier choice but all the others were happy to see us. Seriously, they seemed to enjoy the company!
Concession stand and restroom available at 1/2 way point, where the train and old west town is and benches throughout the park for resting. Souvenirs available at entry. (*Restrooms at entry are older and not what I would call handicap accessible, a walker or wheelchair will not fit easily or at all, be aware*)
All in all a wonderful day trip , check website for prices, adult was $10 each,
Food for animals was $2/$5 for nuggets/crackers and they do have quarter machines with corn.
Take handy wipes, the cows 🐄 like to lick your hand when you feed them lol 😆

We love it there! I don't care what some people say about the place, the animals are taken care of and the place is clean and taken care of! I have been going there since the 80's as a little girl and I take my kids every year! I hope it's here forever!

Been going here regularly for years now! Lovely animal park! You can tell the animals are well taken care of! They have a new baby donkey!

Absolutely a gem in the middle of nowhere! Definitely worth the drive and a day spent with the animals and atmosphere. Prices are amazingly inexpensive for today's economy. Candy bars for a $1 is unheard of these days, but here you will find that too. Visit as soon as possible! It's 70 year Anniversary is this year 2023

From pulling in, till you go purchase your tickets. It can be very misleading.. It appears to be very small.. However on the contrary, it exceedingly bigger than the appearance. Pricing is very reasonable, as well as food to purchase to feed the animals ($1.00 for generous size bag). You can get very up and personal with an amazing selection of animals and also many that you cannot feed. You can go in a bird house and feed birds that will swarm you and land on you to eat. If you are afraid of birds stay away :).. little horses for rides for kids. I would highly recommend for anyone to check out in the area.

I haven taken my grandbabies here 3 times this year. They absolutely love it! It's not huge by any means but it's 3 to 4 hours of fun! The Budgie barn(bird house where you can go in and feed birds) Pony and train rides are an additional cost but worth it. They love feeding the animals.This is a great place for kids. I will visit Deer Park every year several times. Great memories ❤

Fun place to take the kids, alot of animals, some not even the zoo has. They give train rides for an extra fee and it takes you by wolves and white tail deer that you can't see otherwise. You can purchase crackers to feed the deer, they also have pony rides for an extra fee too. The park is in a wooded area which makes it nice especially on hot summer days because you're mainly in the shade. Picnic area and free parking.

Best time and all for $12 a person!

Prices aren't terrible. It was ten dollars per adult. Crackers were five dollars. Nuggets were two or three. You use them to feed the animals. One of each goes a long way. They have a wide variety of animals.
