the farm at walnut creek

We visited on a snowy winter day - perfect weather for a sleigh ride. Having lived in cities all my life, I was taken away by the view of the farm. The farm owners were beyond friendly and nice to all of us and gave a brief intro of each of the animals. The animals seemed generally happy, healthy and well-cared for, unlike in zoos. The horses are beautiful and HUGE! I promised the staff to come back in the spring.

it's must visit place! it was my first time to experience Drawn Sleigh Rides. it is so much fun to feed animals. I have seen lamas, giraffes and many other different animals. The two guys who worked there were so nice! also bought lots of gorgeous post cards and calendar. also free cookies, coffee and tea upstairs. I had chance to see the authentic Amish house and the way people live. Highly recommend to visit it during winter!

My husband and I stopped here the last time we came to the area. We had a blast here! We opted to ride on the wagon, as opposed to driving my car through (I was not trying to have animals slobbering all over my car and scratching it up. lol.) It was a lot of fun! The man who "drove" the wagon, was very nice and knowledgeable about all of the animals. It felt like we were on the wagon for a long time, too! They had a ton of animals and they looked very well cared for. We also enjoyed walking through the Amish homes afterwards. We will be visiting again in May and will be sure to stop here again.

Second visit to the farm. First time to fall fest! We just love the farm. It's wonderful for all ages. I want to try the sleigh ride sometime. I like all the fall fest activities and all the decor. I think the staff is very knowledgeable and kind. Can't wait to return

We thoroughly enjoyed experiencing The Journey to Bethlehem event again this year. There is a lot of planning that makes the entire production so popular and such a success. A must see for the whole family. Thank you to those in the community for the vision and resources to make this happen!!

This is the best stop on the whole " journey to Bethlehem" event!!!! It's a definite must do if your in the area the first weekend in Dec. Every year, thousands of luminary, live nativity, workers dressed in biblical costumes, free refreshments, kettle corn, carolers...its a wonderful free event for families. The best way to kick off the season! Can't wait to go again this coming weekend! :-)

Spent sweetest day in Sugarcreek and The Walnut Creek Farm was one of our stops. The grounds are very well kept, and the animals are people are super friendly!! We took the wagon ride and had a really great time!! Would recommend to animal lovers and families!

I can't put into words how amazing this place is. My two year old son loved every minute of this trip and enjoyed the animals! Thanks for such a great place!

We had as much fun on the wagon ride feeding the animals as our 3 year old grandson did. We were there for the farms fall fest weekend and had a great time climbing the hay mountain, playing in the corn box and munching on kettle korn. Beautiful farm and beautiful countryside!

This was my first time visiting the Farm. I got a group of 18 together and made reservations for an open air wagon ride. Everyone at the Farm was so nice and patient with us! My dad isn't able to walk very far, and the walkway to the loading area was all gravel (so pushing a wheelchair wasn't an option). They drove the wagon to the parking lot to pick us up and drop us off! My family really appreciated them doing that! It's so much fun to feed the animals. You can actually let them eat out of your hand or drop the food in their mouth! Young and old truly enjoyed this experience! A definite must-do! Allow yourself time to tour the farmhouses and go through the "zoo" area. There's a lot to see here! The grounds were absolutely beautiful!

We take the two hour drive to this place at least once a year. I love that you get to pet all the animals and be close to them. It's sad that they don't have any teeth but they all seem happy and healthy! And the staff up there is top notch! Very friendly!

We had such a blast on that wagon ride where all the animals come running up to you and follow as you move along. And these weren't just little tame animals, but rather some big elk, water buffalo and regular buffalo's, brama bulls, camels, and you name it ! Then you pull up to the giraffes who are behind a fence but that doesn't matter as they stick their long necks over and go for the buckets of food - right down in front of your face ! There are lots of other animals around in pens and barns and behind fences as you walk around the very well landscaped and lovely grounds. And the tour through the house is nice and the free cookies even better !Definitely recommend this place and would love to see it in all the seasons, as someone else mentioned. But would not recommend driving through in your own car as would imagine it might get pretty scratched up, and you'd miss having the full experience of getting so up close and personal with all of those animals.

When we arrived we we pulled up to the check in station. Before paying we were greeted by a girl who handed us a guidebook and where to go after paying. She recommend the wagon insteading of driving our truck through the tour (great advice). We then paid and drove up to The parking lot. Everywhere you go here you can see beautiful rolling hills and bright green grass. We got out and fed the donkeys (my boyfriend instantly felt better about the hour and half long drive). The animals eat right out of you hands without biting your hand off or nibbling. There were the donkey, goat, camels, horses and sheep near the parking lot. As we walked down a path we saw lemurs, swans, a mule (who became my favorite), tortoises, procupines, a bird, kangaroos and some ducks. We sat in a little barn for about 5-10 minutes, let some people go in front of before we got onto our wagon. We sat on the right side and most of the well known animals were on the left. The left would have been a better choice. We saw so many different animals; giraffes, zebras, buffalo, lamas, goats, and elk were a few and can pronounce... Our guide was very polite and made us laugh. They're not awkward at all, very humble and made us feel comfortable. After the wagon he told us we could go get cookies. We chose to go visit the kangaroos and my mule friend again. We were a little afraid to just enter these people's houses. It felt rude although invited so we walked up the hill past their houses and the dairy barn to feed some donkeys, a pony, sheep, goats and two beautiful horses. We ended the day by spending some more time with my mule buddy who made his way through his pin and up to us. It was very clean, and they gave us pellets to feed the animals on the wagon. The parking lot was full but there was so much going on there was maybe another group of people or another person at every other pin. Overall, it was awesome. I can't think of anything bad to say about this place.

what a fun trip! ride the wagon instead of staying in your car-so much easier feeding & enjoying the animals. they come right up to the wagon-hilarious! the farm is beautiful-clean and the employees very friendly. bring your camera!

Absolutely loved it! It was great, your out for at least an hour. Touring through the horses and barns were so cool too! Especially at this time of the year. Everyone was really friendly. I would gladly go back soon!
