The entire visit at the ranch was a great experience! Be sure to load up on the treats though. The cows will thank you! Being up close to so many friendly animals is a great way to get away from it all for a day. Even better than the safari was being able to pet the donkeys and cows after the tour. Our family of four cannot agree on which petting experience was better: the donkeys or the cows. Other members of our family are making plans to come down and see the ranch.

Such a fun and amazing experience for people of all ages! We went with four adults and had an absolute blast. They were so nice and welcoming. The cows and donkeys were so friendly and adorable. I highly recommend doing the wagon tour, donkey petting experience, and baby cow experience. You’ll love it and leave with a giant smile on your face.

We did an adult sibling trip. It was absolutely the best experience. We got to feed cows and love on some donkeys and cows. The animals are clearly so loved and well taken care of. Would absolutely do again.

One of the best farm experiences I’ve been to! I would recommend this to anyone who loves animals. We rode in the wagon to feed cows, then got to go in and pet/cuddle with donkeys and more highland cows (and their babies.) If they sold passes I would purchase for sure! It was amazing.

We purchased tickets for the mini cow safari experience and we had a great time! We found Maite and Juan to be really knowledgeable and great hosts, you could tell how well cared for the animals are based on their interactions. We look forward to returning again in the future!

My wife and I had a great experience. It was my wife’s birthday gift and she was excited to be on the farm and do the ride to see the highland cows. She also did the food and hugging experience, well worth it. The donkeys were so gentle and nice and loved to be cuddled. We took a lot of pictures and again check this place out. The owners of the farm were very informative and loved their farm and their animals. They take care of their animals very well and understand the needs and build a good farm culture around them to interact with guests.

We had so much fun on the wagon ride and getting to pet the donkeys & cows. We got to learn about the cows, their names and feed them. I wish we would have bought a 2nd bucket of food, my kids loved feeding lots of treats and the cows come running for love and treats. We got so many awesome pics with the cows and donkeys and even got to brush the cows. I would recommend driving an SUV or truck out, its a long dirt road to the farm. Also, wear boots or rain boots that can be easily hosed off when you get home. Lots of livestock = lots of poo. We had extra Publix bags in the car, so we were able to take off our shoes and put them in bags to minimize getting the car dirty. My kids asked to go back tomorrow 🤣 they loved it so much!

I wish I would have been able to experience this as my daughter bought this for me for x mas. My father is terminally Ill and we had an emergency with him last night and missed our time today. I understand it said no refunds (I didn't know that because my minor child bought it for me for x mas) and no rescheduled times but I really thought the owners would have a kinder solution, I was even willing to pay a fee or something but she refused to respond to me only to say... sorry no rescheduled times, we hope to see you sometime soon... I messaged her and asked her to maybe make an exception or some kind of resolution and she didn't even bother to respond to me. I'm heartbroken because my daughter worked hard to buy me the ticket. I hope they know how one act of kindness could Have meant the world to a family who just needed that today. 💔

My son got the experience for my Christmas Present. What a great farm! Cows were so friendly and well taken care of. Donkeys that made you want to take one home. We got to comb the babies and visit with adult highland cows one on one. Maite and Juan were a delight. Answered any and all questions. What a team! Such a great experience.

This was such a delightful tour. You can tell the owners really love their animals and are gracious enough to share them with us. I highly recommend adding on the donkey and baby cow petting experiences. Donkeys weren’t really on my radar for being awesome until we came here. Now we want to have donkeys. Seriously, these animals were so calming and therapeutic. A lovely farm experience!

Absolutely Magical Experience at Whispering Oaks Miniature Ranch We visited Whispering Oaks Miniature Ranch on Sunday, December 14 while visiting my sister and family, and what a wonderful time we all had. I truly cannot say enough great things about this place or its incredible owners, Maite and Juan. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, kindness, and a genuine passion for what they do. The tour was truly amazing. They shared so much knowledge about their Highland cows and donkeys, and it was clear how deeply they care for every single animal. What makes this place even more special is that they do it all themselves. Just the two of them run the entire mini farm, pouring their hearts into everything they do. The experience was very hands on. Being up close with the animals, feeding them, petting them, and spending time loving on them was such a treat and something we will always remember. The animals are happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. The entire experience felt personal, peaceful, and incredibly special. Do yourself a favor and visit Whispering Oaks Miniature Ranch. Spend time with Maite, Juan, and their amazing animals. You will leave with a full heart and unforgettable memories. You will not be disappointed.
