ATTENTION FRIENDS:
A new facility has opened on our secluded mountain road, with a sign that reads “Exotic Petting Farm.” This facility IS NOT the one and only Smoky Mountain Deer Farm and Exotic Petting Zoo. We have proudly been a staple of our community for over 36 years, and we are located 1 more mile up the road past their facility.

Hi friends!! With the possibility of inclement weather and heavy snow tomorrow, please give us a call before driving out to our facilities. We aren’t sure if we will be open, and our mountainous roads can be treacherous. Please call 865-428-3337 after 10 am for an update! Stay safe out there!!

Our zoo and stables are closed today due to very treacherous road conditions leading to our property. We are hoping to reopen tomorrow if enough of the ice melts on our mountainous roads, but please call ahead beforehand to double check!

We are excited to introduce our new flock to you! These 9 baby ostriches are as cute as they can be, and they are having a blast in their large pen, flapping and running and playing all day. It’s hard to believe that these little sweeties will be 7 to 8 ft tall soon! Right now, they are being fed a specialized diet (so no hand feeding from guests yet) and they are being socialized by our owner, Mr. Greg, and our zookeepers. They are on display for our guests now, and we can’t wait for you to meet them!

Hello friends! Reservations are now required at our horseback riding stables due to a heavy increase in traffic. We currently cannot accommodate walk-in riders. Please call 865-429-2276 after 10 am to check availability, as we do not make reservations online or via private message. Reservations are NOT required for our petting zoo or pony rides.

We are excited to introduce our first baby of the new year! This little gal is a miniature Sicilian donkey. Our zookeepers are already getting her comfortable with human touch (while mama keeps a watchful eye) and she's such a gentle girl. We can't wait for you to meet her!

Both the stables and the zoo are open! There is no need to call the zoo before coming, but for riding reservations please call the stables at 865-429-2276. We are so excited to be able to see you again!!
