Emily Siu: Wow!!!!!! This is an amazing place!!!! Better than any zoo I’ve been to. Grew up only 5 mins away, but never knew about it until now as an adult. Have seen so many animals in person I have never seen before. The short presentations/shows of the animals are great, and you can pet some of them :) Will definitely come back.
Mike Diaz (zer0velocity): Amazing place to see all kinds of animals. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
ThirdDegree Byrnes: This place and the people working here are amazing!!! We got the family membership becasue there is enough to see that a monthly trip is easily doable. The special shows they do highlightinh various animals changes monthly so we will go just to see those. Extremely well done shows. Very informative and action packed so it is fun for a young crowd as well as their parents. We will visit 6-10 times a year for sure.
Samantha Underwood: This place is amazing. The animals & staff were so nice and welcoming. Definitely worth coming to see.
Matthew Stiffler: I love this place. Have brought our kids here many times and have always had a great time. Staff is knowledgeable and patient. Animals are great. I'm always impressed with the sloths and cougar.
RJ Berkey: Creature Conservancy was a great venue for our daughters birthday party. Our 8 year old & her friends enjoyed seeing, touching and learning about the animals and the room was a great size for any of our needs.
Ethan Fixell: Unbelievable place! Such an awesome place to bring kids, but adults will have a blast too. Educated, warm staff, wonderful facility. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!
Sri: You should definitely try to pay a visit during their weekend shows, they are amazing and perfect to engage your curious kids. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Elizabeth Bowman: Friendly staff as soon as you walk in. Animals are really cool and the space they inhabit offer good views of them. TCC offers some really interesting special events that we'll definitely have to check out.
K B: The Creature Conservancy staff are all friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly passionate about their amazing variety of animals. They have never disappointed no matter whether I've been casually visiting, participating in an onsite event, or experiencing their traveling programs. Come check them out and support their wonderful creatures.

Amber Yanovich: We went here for a work event and loved it. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly, animals well cared for. Can’t wait to being my kids back!
Allison O'Rourke: We went to the Creatures of the Night event and LOVED it!!! We have gone a couple of times before to their regular weekend hours but the higher level talks they gave to the 18+ crowd was very much appriciated! We loved getting to hear all the science behind a lot of the animals. We love all the cool new programs that you guys are starting and it makes us want to come back again and againWe are very hesitant about the zoos that we visit as we don't want to encourage mistreatment of animals but they treat them SO well and try to rescue all of them. We recommend this place to everyone who comes to visit!
Garrett Doyle: Great place! You can tell they care for their animals.
Kyle Ellsasser: Excellent Ann Arbor staple! Definitely check it out!

Domino’s Farms Petting Farm: what do users think?
Gabriel Mongefranco: Amazing place for little kids… and for grownups too! :) My family has been members of Domino’s Farms Petting Zoo for a few years, and we love it.There are always new animals to see, both young and grown. The most popular are probably the baby goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas and pigs. You can feed most of the grown animals (only their own carrot sticks are allowed, which sell for $2/bag or $1/bag for members). There are typically also chickens, turtles, ducks, peacocks, rabbits, horses, ponies, donkeys, cows, and barn friends like cats and birds.They host fun activities throughout the year, such as summer festivals the 1st Saturday of June/July/August, trick or treat events, hot cocoa in the winter, and more.There are also other attractions like hay rides, a playhouse with tons of play kitchen equipment, green areas, shelter rentals for birthday parties. There’s a 1920’s train caboose (walk-thru museum, with antique appliances, beds, full bath, kitchen, firewood heater). There is a new playground that opened in 2023. They also sell inexpensive snacks/icream/drinks inside the lobby, which is also a science/animals focused toy store.Kids can spend hours here having fun, and then top it off with ice cream!Consider the annual membership - it’s worth it. Once your kids discover this place, they will want to keep going time and time again.The only complaint I would mention is that after 2 years of asking, they still have not fixed the door thresholds at the main entrance and at the exit towards the train, which make it impossible for a wheelchair to get through without having to tip it over. Domino’s Farms - I highly encourage you to take this accessibility matter seriously and comply with ADA laws, to ensure your entrance is safe and accessible to those in wheelchairs, like my family.Overall, our family loves the petting farm. It’s highly recommended and kid-approved!
Hazel James: My family enjoyed it
Lisa B: Very nice, clean atmosphere. Loved all the animals but especially the goats
Maureen Ellenberger: Lots of fun feeding the animals Happy Birthday Carter!
La Wanda Smith: The kids had fun but there weren't many animals for them to experience.
Alyazia Alhosani: Its a small nice place yo visit, you feed and pet animals, enjoy the weather while kids play at the playground..The bathrooms are clean and the staff is amazing.Price is very reasonable 8$ +2$ for a bag of carrots
John Jamison: Took my granddaughter for her first visit to the farm and she loved it!!! She saw all the great farm friends and gave out alot of carrots. The place sure has been a staple in michigan and I plan to have more dates there with my granddaughter.
Katie Kidle: Great experience at the Farm - Kids got to feed the animals carrots, pizza was delivered, there was a hay ride, and a playground for the rest of the time. An easy process, and a relatively inexpensive way to have a big party.
Mali: It's a small little petting farm near U of M. The people were nice and my Pre-K class enjoyed themselves.
Mary Theresa Bishop: My family can't get enough of this place! It's the only petting farm I know of in the area where you can feed the animals. Now that they have a playground we can spend the whole day there!!
Ahmad Halabi: It’s a nice place for kids. You can see the whole place in one hour.
Katy Williams: My daughter had the best 4th birthday here! All of the guests had an absolute blast!
Sophia Smith: Kids friendly place!!!
Michael Cavasin: We took our son here today and had a nice time. Cleaner, and more spread out than other petting zoos. Even though the parking lot was getting full, it didn't feel like you were running into anyone or that it was crowded. Admission cost is pretty fair, and the cost of carrots is lower than other zoos we've been to. We will continue to return as he grows up!
Judy Beer: We had a great time at the petting farm today! It was my granddaughters first visit to a farm and meeting animals. She loved it. We love that it is set up with access to all the animals and that they are well cared for. We will be back!
Manda Schwerin: It was a great little day trip for our family not super expensive and my little kids loved all the animals.
Sri: It was an amazing stop on our way from Chicago to Detroit. It will be an exciting time for the kids. Friendly staff and more than friendly zoo friends.
Elsie Chappell: The petting farm has a clean bathroom, which is much appreciated! Hayrides for a couple of dollars. Vending machine, gift shop sells a few toys and snacks.
Local Tour Guide: Highly recommend! They added a pavilion and swing set with a small playground. Parties available.
Alec Ashburn: The noise pollution that these animals have to deal with 24/7 along M-14 is ridiuclous, Dominos Farm needs to put up a sound barrier to protect them. They can afford it.
Bradley Johnson: We recently celebrated our five year old's birthday at Dominoes Farm and it was a fantastic experience! Despite the cold weather outside, the indoor party area was warm and cozy. The kids had a blast interacting with the animals and the staff were incredibly helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly. The highlight of the party was definitely feeding the animals. We highly recommend Dominoes Farm for a fun and memorable birthday party!

Leslie Science and Nature Center: what do users think?
Hiroyuki Takisawa: 無料で散策することができ、飼育している鳥などを見ることもできます。スロープ、トンネルやすべりだいもあり、公園のようにこどもと遊ぶのに良い場所でした。寄付して動物や活動を支援することもできます。
Regina Brown: Really enjoyed myself first time coming here. Had a good day to see the big beautiful birds. 😊👍🏾🦉🦅
Rochelle Igrisan: Great place to visit owls and birds of prey!
Victoria Simoneau: This place was amazing! We were here for a friend's birthday party today and we had so much fun. Can't wait to come back.
Craig Pfeifer: Friendly, helpful staff, fun events. I love seeing the raptors and reptiles!
Heather Martinez: We love Leslie science center but we probably won't be coming back. The new playground looks more like a death trap every time we visit. Very difficult to see/ hear around try he structure. Not accessible at all. Difficult to assist children when they need it. Lots of boulders/ living trees/ logs to fall on and in to.
Craig Norlin: New play area is a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing all the birds of prey! We came during the week so there was no buildings open but will be sure to come back!
Kayla Petraska: Very pretty. Lots of different ways to go & the trails are pretty endless. Not too busy either. And there’s animals! Will be back :)
Joanina Fanton da Silva: Espaço bem cuidado com trilhas bem interessantes, uma natureza incrível e espaços para crianças e aves resgatadas sendo cuidadas.Playground: Só há um brinquedo de escorregar, mas diferente dos parques porque é um túnel enterrado e alto.Picnic area: Arborizada e com mesas e bancos nas sombras das árvores.
Stephen Smith: Love the raptors and nature trails. Sledding hill improvements are awesome!
Grey K: This nature area is quite relaxing to walk around and discover where the paths take you. It's always nice to visit the birds as well.
Kyle Newmeyer: Great for everybody! Owls, hawks, the eagle and more. Take the kids. So much to learn. Great, friendly staff.
Denise Scholes: Playground: No Public restrooms: No Off-leash dog area: No Picnic tables: Yes Barbecue grills: NoMore
Adam Whitfield-DeMolen: Our visit was on Earth Day 2018 and 2022. Very nice park with live animals to view. Plenty of large area birds. Ample space for kids to explore.
nicholas lemere: Love that it is open to the public! Went on a field trip here with 5th grade and it is extremely engaging and perfect for anything involving eco systems, food webs, and habitats!
Paydro Stylin: must visit with the family
Helena Boulding: I come here to talk to the birds 🦅 sometimes they talk back! 🤣
Justin Dreffs: Thanks for the Owl tour Tyler! We had a great time!
Steven Hensel: Love the trails, despite the front half being mostly honeysuckle. The bird exhibit always bums me out. Eating McMice and living in a cage so small (I'm sure they meet regulations, but come on). So...a work in progress, I guess. 3 stars.
Lisa Hirsch: Great place to picnic and hike. Kids loved seeing the Raptors and hiking to the Black Pond. The signs of Spring scavenger hunt was fun and the Director gave us a filed guide to all the plants and animals that are in the Center's area. Such fun! Highly recommend!
Joanna Connelly: Cool trails & cool birds
