We had the best time!

We booked barn yard buddies for our daughters 1st birthday party and I am so glad we did. She had a blast, and let’s be honest so did the adults! All of the animals were so sweet and docile, and the owner of the company was so knowledgeable about each animal and was answering all of our questions. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!!

Beyond Words

There are no words which can express adequately our gratitude for an experience so far outside the realm of the traditional petting zoo our family was able to experience with Barnyard Buddies. The story behind them is so personal, and due to a Veteran who personally discovered the value of healing through a love and commitment to animals in need. This was an invitation to engage with rescues, who in turn are not just part of a hired event, but which are now therapy animals for victims of tragedy, Veterans with PTSD, and chronic pain. All I can say, is that when Herbert and Herbie arrive, ask them about each animal and their story, and you will receive much more then an opportunity to love and hold these beautiful creatures, but to experience a life lesson in selflessness and grace applied in the most unusual of ways.

It was our pleasure and honor to meet your family and share in your daughters special day. Animals don't hide how they feel and as you could tell they were loving every minute with your family and some didn't want too leave. Moolan was so surprisingly at home in your back yard and for her first day interacting with someone outside the farm she did amazing. I feel your family had a lot to do with that. we look forward to a long relationship with you and your family and thank you for allowing us to be part of your day.

Amazing animals and customer service

This is a long overdue review. I booked Barn Yard buddies last year in 2019 for my daughters 5th birthday. Their quote was the most reasonable and you really get so much for the amount you pay. I was so pleased with their excellent customer service they where super friendly, punctual and professional. My daughter and her friends where so happy and amazed with all the animals. I have been recommending them to all my friends and will hopefully use them again in the near future. Thank you for the excellent experience.

The pony was cute

The owners were nice but the kids were either to big or to small to go on a pony ride their was a lot of confusion in the beginning whether it was a pony or a unicorn, and which pony it was. Wasn’t able to get cute pictures the pony just wanted to eat the grass
