Zoomars Petting Zoo

On Friday, we headed south to San Juan Capistrano to visit Zoomars petting zoo.  I purchased a deal to Zoomars through Plum District and we were pleased with our experience.  With our deal, we got 4 entrance tickets, 3 feed baskets, and 2 train rides. 

The feed baskets were way more fun than the train.


Garrett thoroughly enjoyed feeding the sheep, goats, pony, llamas, and trying to feed the not interested cow. 

The goats were the most interactive of the bunch.  They would very enthusiastically rip the lettuce, apple, carrot, or broccoli out of your hand, sometimes head butting each other to get to the grub. 

Garrett was nearly lost in a crowd of goats on more than one occasion.  But, he was his normal "not to be flustered" self, and was very resilient.  That is, until we took him in the pen with the rabbits and guinea pigs.  The smaller the animal, the more scary.
Zoomar's website advertises "well-natured" animals, and it would appear that is the truth.  Short of one goat bully, all of the animals were pretty gentle and we never worried about Garrett.






We did have a little issue with keeping the feed apples out of Garrett's mouth.  Apparently, we don't ever feed him.
