This is one of my favorite places to go in West Michigan and I wish more people knew about it! Awesome for adults and kids. You can get in and interact with so many barn animals. Their animals are well taken care of the kid volunteers are so friendly. Lots of fun programming (especially around Chris...

Wonderful place to take the kids and it was completely free. We went the first weekend of spring break so it was rather busy. They allowed the kids to feed the baby goats but there were not enough bottles and the event was very disorganized leading to some disappointment. There was a variety of diff...

My wife and I recently visited the Critter Barn dropping off a donation. I have heard a lot about this place but never had the opportunity to visit. There are certainly some areas of the facility that show a bit of wear and tear, but it is clean and well organized, and the staff are super friendly...

Saturday I was looking for a petting zoo to take my 3 year old grand daughter to because she loves animals. After an internet search I found the Critter Barn, not to long of a ride. When we arrived my grand daughter said, "I'm so excited". We met the owner I believe, he was very kind and all smiles....

Great place for little ones. They have all sorts of farm animals that you can interact with but don't confuse it with a petting zoo. It's like if a petting zoo and a farm had a baby. Highlights were the baby chicks you could hold, the rabbit petting table and the room full of cats (obviously not a h...

I took my 2 year old when it was snowing so we spent most of our time indoors, feeding and petting the animals. The barns and grounds were clean (but we did not go near the ducks, geese, etc - no matter where they flock, there will always be poop - take it from a country girl!) My son loved it - we...

Fantastic up-close and hands-on experience to educate people about production animals in agriculture. Zeeland's Critter Barn is a long-standing family business dedicated to teaching young people where the food they eat comes from...and the farming practices that sustain our food supply. Lots of chan...

Delightful and relaxed place to visit. As the name says, it's a barn and has critters. The family presents a live nativity that runs from December 4th to the 28th and is beautiful and insightful. The family at the Critter Barn took a step of faith and operates on donations so that every child can ex...

Staff was super-friendly and attentive to not only the customers, but also the animal's safety and care. Will be returning for mor...

If your kids love animals, this is the spot. So many hands on opportunities with the animals. A decent variety of animals to see. It's free but once you go there you will leave a good donation since they could easily charge and still be one of the best attractions we experienced.

We have been going since my daughter was 3. She never gets tired of seeing the animals, and honestly I don't either Lol! The only flaw is the parking is so small, I really hate the idea of small children on the side of the road, especially when I pass it on the daily drive. They are working in a big...
