Experience the Adventure
What a hidden gem! We had a fantastic time! The animals were so interactive, and the sloths and parakeets were so worth the extra! The bags of feed are very generous, and the drive thru has tons of animals that interact with you the whole ride. We will be going back!
– Joanna Mangum | GoogleAmazing experiences at Busy B Ranch! Celebrated my daughter's 19th birthday here and the Mini Highland Cows experience was her favorite. The Parakeet walkabout was awesome and the whole day was just wonderful. The drive through feeding safari is so fun! This was our 3rd trip and each has been better than the one before. Highly recommend this adventure for all ages. It is affordable and has so much to offer. The owners and their children are super nice and they are always answer any questions about the animals.
– Sara Baize | GoogleThe cabin we stayed in was quiet and secluded, right on the edge of a private lake. It was so enjoyable! I loved it and plan to go back. I could sit on the porch swing for hours! You can fish in the private lake, and historic Jefferson Texas is only minutes away.
– Elizabeth Heaster | GoogleWhat an amazing place. We only did the petting zoo but they also have a drive-through safari. Lots of beautiful animals. My favorite was the baby mountain goats 🐐 and the wallabies. Let me add we were there on a field trip and the animals were great with all the kids.
– Jason Russell | GoogleThis was a fun trip for the family. Our 3 boys loved going on 'safari' for the day. You buy your food in the shop and drive through the adventure. We laughed and really enjoyed being together to feed the animals that come up to your window. The small petting zoo was fun and seeing the baby joey was cool. The boys say they will come back every weekend to visit.
