ZOOMARS Petting Zoo

We finished off our weekend in Orange County with a morning trip to Zoomars Petting Zoo in San Juan. My Mom had mentioned this place a few times in the past, but this was our first trip and it was so much fun. They have a quaint farm/petting zoo with sheep, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, llamas, emu, alpaca, chickens, turkeys, a gigantic tortoise, horses, ponies, and zeedonkies (I think that was their name - a mix between zebras and donkies).

My Mom, Jim, Ben, and I explored the grounds and fed the animals. Then Ben road the train, played on the playground, and road a horse. He LOVED it. He especially enjoyed feeding the horses apples and carrots before he went on his ride. The nice thing about the horse ride is that they walked along the outside of the farm, not just around in a circle. Ben was practicing his best cowboy "yee-haws".

Of course the trip was complete when we saw the "real" train (the Coaster) pulling into the San Juan Capistrano station, both on our way in and on our way out. Ben insisted on watching it both times. We promised him we would take a ride on it one fo these days. And we will definitely be re-visiting the Zoomars Petting Zoo soon.
