The petting zoo is amazing!! It is such a great place to take the kiddos. It was a unique experience and we will do it again. It is not everyday you find this oppurtunity FOR FREE. As a family of 8, with 6 kids under age 12, we all voted it a 10/10. They loved every bit of it. There are plenty of animals to make the drive worth it. (50min drive for us) Even adorable tiny baby goats. They definitely love fruit, veggies and crackers. (Those need to be purchased before arriving to the park) They also offer 25 cent vending machine, located at the feeding area. No bread!

If u love classic cars, then this is the place to be. During the last week of September, the park starts to open its gates to the car show on Wednesday. Thursday is the cruise in car show at the Gas City High School. Friday and Saturday is absolutely awesome as classic cars come from all over the United States. Sunday, is the last day of the car show, which wraps up the weeks events with the award ceremony. This year there was over 2,000 cars. Maybe...
