★★★★★diablorpbWe visited Alpine Acres Sanctuary Farm yesterday with my wife and daughter, and it was absolutely amazing. The entire 20+ acre ranch is impeccably well kept—paths are clean, enclosures are tidy, and you can tell a lot of love and attention goes into every detail. What stood out most was how healthy and cared for the animals looked. From the rescued livestock to the exotics, every animal seemed comfortable, active, and well-fed. It’s clear the team here truly prioritizes their welfare. This is a special place that balances education, compassion, and conservation beautifully. We left feeling inspired and grateful for the work they do. Highly recommend visiting—whether you’re an animal lover, a family looking for a meaningful outing, or just someone who wants to support a fantastic sanctuary
★★★★★princessI had a really lovely experience at this animal sanctuary. The staff were so friendly and kind and they made me feel very welcomed. I especially enjoyed being able to purchase a hay bucket and feed the animals it was such a fun way to interact with them up close. I also appreciated how peaceful and quiet the sanctuary was. There weren’t too many people which made it easy to spend some one-on-one time with the animals and really enjoy the experience. I’m so glad I visited and would love to come back again. 🐾🌿
★★★★★Nicholas FelicianoAbsolutely LOVE it here. Had tons of fun with the whole family. But be warned if you sit down in the vicinity of Spike he will claim your lap for a solid 30 minutes.
★★★★★Keegan HuertaSuper fun experience for the whole family. We questioned if it would be worth the, but it absolutely was. It was pretty expensive. For a family of four it was about $150 with feed. There's no cell service out there so I'd recommend planning ahead for that aspect. Also, food options are limited. A pro tip would be to pack a little picnic as they have ample areas to sit below the trees.
★★★★★Katherine RensinkWe visited today and loved the experience of spending time with the animals! What I love even more is that the animals are well cared for with ample roaming space. There’s SO many animals and many are greedy, so definitely get two buckets of hay! The area is huge - way bigger than I thought it would be - and it’s very pretty. It’s very well maintained as well. The owner and her daughter (I think) are super sweet. Very happy place all around as an animal sanctuary should be!
