Critter Lane Petting Zoo — Attraction in Missouri

I commented on their post about white tigers coming to the petting zoo, concerned for their quality of life, and within minutes my comment was deleted. Now I am blocked from commenting on anything on their page. White tigers are not natural. They are inbred and have genetic problems. Not to mention, traveling wild animals almost always have a very poor quality of life. If this place was truly about the quality of life of animals, they would appreciate my concern for the tigers and answer my question instead of blocking me from helping to educate others on how these beautiful animals are so often mistreated.

To be fair, I do not know of the quality of life of the animals that live at their facility. However, if quality of animals' lives is a top priority, even above human entertainment, as it should be, there is no reason to delete my comment and ban me from commenting on anything on their page. If you have nothing to hide, why would you try to silence people concerned about animals, especially if animals are your passion too? Clearly good reviews, money, entertainment, and profit are more important to them than the quality of these animals lives.

It's unfortunate and sad that this company chooses to delete any seemingly negative reviews, comments, or even concerned questions, to give others a biased review of their business. And because of it, animals will suffer....

This place has a lot more animals than it did a year or so ago. It's a nice walkthrough for the entire family to enjoy. I highly recommend sunscreen on sunny days, because it just feels extra hot when you walk along the gravel paths. They provide little plastic wagons for the children, they seat up to two kids, and you can store a small bag in them between the kids. They provide cups of feed that are fairly priced, and I believe you might still be able to bring in the cup for a different visit, and get a discount on the next cup of feed. As you walk through the petting zoo, you'll come across special feeding machines that cost 25. Cents for a handful of pellets, or corn for specific animals. There are different types of rides that cost $2. They have a pretty neat reptile, and sloth house as well. The reptile house is fairly new. You're able to pet almost all the animals in this zoo, and there are many. They have a goat/baby cow, or miniature cow area for people to roam freely, and feed/pet all the goats and little cows, it is advised that a parent or guardian is in this area with children, because goats are endless pits of hunger, and will roughly bump into you for your feed. They have restrooms, concession window, and a little gift shop filled with cute toys. It's a great place, you...

All in all it’s a great place to bring family the kids love it!!!we have been a few times and never had a problem we have had fun each time.... but we were there Sunday July 28 and the lady in the reptile house was very rude!!! My daughter who is 5 had a bird feeder stick and she fed it to paco(he kind of stole it from her but she was close enough that he could get it) as soon as she did she tried to get it back but he was to strong for her well the lady started talking to us like we knew he wasn’t supposed to have it and she kept saying over and over well thanks a lot he can’t have that know you are going to make him very sick!!! I apologized and she just kept saying it and rolling her eyes and my daughter felt bad because she didn’t know and started crying because the thought the bird was going to die:( the lady also said that they tell you at the front desk not to feed paco however we were not told that if we had been I would have never let her give it to him to get close enough he could take it I also looked to see if it was posted where he was at and it wasn’t I wanted to make sure we didn’t miss anything!!! Everyone else there made up for her bad attitude which is why you are getting 5 stars but it should be posted and she should learn how to talk to a 5...
