Welcome to the Petting Zoo at Hogan’s Place

Get ready for up-close encounters, unforgettable smiles, and the kind of joy only animals can bring! The petting zoo at Hogan’s Place is the heart of our farm — a safe, welcoming space where kids and adults can meet, feed, and interact with a variety of friendly animals every day of the week.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning with your little ones for another adventure, our petting zoo offers hands-on fun that’s both educational and entertaining. We believe in letting kids be kids — encouraging curiosity, compassion, and connection through meaningful moments with animals.

What You’ll Experience

From goats that love attention to gentle bunnies, curious pigs, and more, our furry (and sometimes feathered) friends are ready to meet you. Throughout the farm, you’ll find animal pens and feeding stations designed for safe and interactive experiences, with farm staff nearby to answer questions and share fun facts.

Animals You May Meet:
  • Goats (the stars of the show!)
  • Pigs
  • Bunnies
  • Chickens
  • Cows
  • Mini Bull
  • Alpacas
  • Tortoises
  • Emi Ponies
  • Ducks
  • And more seasonal surprises!

Want to feed the animals? Animal feed is available for purchase at check-in so your little ones can enjoy the full hands-on experience.

A Day at the Zoo, Farm-Style

Our petting zoo isn’t just about the animals — it’s about creating a day your family will talk about for weeks. We’ve created a relaxed, shaded space for picnicking, photo-taking, and enjoying the fresh air. Feel free to bring snacks, sit at our picnic tables, and soak in the peaceful farm vibes.

Planning a visit with younger children? The entire petting zoo is stroller-friendly, and we offer clean restroom facilities, hand-washing stations, and shaded seating areas for parents to take a break.

We visited Hogan’s Petting Zoo while on vacation in Florida and had an absolutely amazing time! It was the perfect family-friendly spot—clean, well-organized, and full of friendly animals that our kids loved interacting with. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. This hidden gem is a must-visit if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Florida!

Saw this posted online for a Spring Break deal! $5 to get in, petting zoo, hold goats, small pig, feed the animals, and a lot more. Definitely a great afternoon with the family!

the cutest little petting zoo! pay $5 for a generous cup of food to feed goats, emu (watch out for emu!), bunnies, turtles, pigs, horses, cows, llamas, that’s all i think, and they sell some refreshments, free for kids under 2, very nice way to entertain the toddler for a few hours, we’ve been 3 times & we will be back for sure, great option for the Riverview area.

We always have a fantastic time at Hogan’s Place Petting Zoo! It’s a wonderful spot with a wide variety of animals and plenty of opportunities for close, hands-on encounters. The property is beautiful—spacious, well-kept, and full of charm with tons of great photo ops throughout. We had an absolute blast—there were games, play areas, and plenty of room to run around for kids and toddlers. It’s clear the animals are well cared for and the staff is friendly and welcoming.
