Very nice place to stop and check out some souvenirs on the way to and from Zion NP. They have added a restaurant since my last visit. The food was good. Would of given 5 stars but the 🚻 needs a little attention. I would recommend you stop in.

Happened to come across on our road trip and spotted a cute old west looking shop with a petting zoo for $1!! Carrots are 3 for $1 & there are 15 animals to feed and see. Amazing customer service and the animals were phenomenal and ready for any and all attention that one could give. I'd highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

I was very disappointed to see the shape of the animals at their petting farm. They are making money off of these poor creatures by charging to see them and for the carrots to feed them, yet they take very poor care of them. One of the Navajo Ram's horns is ingrown, digging a hole on the side of his face, with a deep wound that is very visible and obviously painful. It might even be infected. The poor guy looks miserable. Not to mention him and the female sheep need desperately to be sheared, with the temperature already reaching the 80's and their wool so overgrown. These poor things just keep pacing and panting, in obvious distress. I am from Peru and take pride in one of our native animals....llamas. They roam the Peruvian Andes, climbing hills, mountains and prairies. At this petting zoo, there are four Llamas in a tiny enclosure, without any enrichment and only dirt on the ground. The llamas, miniature donkeys and sheep are all kept confined in very small enclosures, completely unnatural for their roaming and grazing instincts. Also, the amount of people that buy carrots from them and feed the animals without any supervision, makes all the animals rely on begging for carrots, as their sole means for nutrition. This is very unhealthy for them. During my visit, every food bucket was empty. These animals are crearly not loved by the owners of this establishment. They haven't even bothered to give them names or treat them like individuals. They do not educate or raise awareness on the species that live there. There are no printed signs or fact sheets about the animals. It is very evident, by how long the ram has had to live with a horn digging a hole on the side of his face, that they neglect to provide them with the proper veterinary care. These poor animals are only seen as commodities and a means to make more money. Very sad and inhumane. If you love animals like I do, you'll be appalled by the animal's living conditions at this horrendous roadside petting farm.

Amazing roadside gift shop. Great place to spend an hour or so walking around looking at their great local gifts and goods lots of unique snacks and items. There is a place to get food. We did not eat there we just walked around and shopped a bit. Definitely worth the stop if you're passing by.

They have prickly pear ice cream. Took the kiddo here for the petting zoo and ice cream. The ram in the petting zoo was terrifying but the rest of them seemed cool. PS, do not pet the actual cactus
