Cockrill’s Country Critters - Austin, Arkansas

We took our daughter's to a fun filled day and they absolutely loved it! They had everything from lemurs to cute baby cows, ferrets and many horses. We were allowed to feed the animals and pet just about everything. We even got to hold a huge yellow snake. All in all, I would highly recommend to take kids to this location.

I stopped here on a Sunday and had an incredible time! I booked the sloth holding and it is the experience of a lifetime. Ginger is such a cuddler and has quite the personality. Dobby the little monkey is the cutest little bonus! Janice and Ed, the owners, made it such a personal experience. All of the other animals are sooo cared for and loved. The camels, sheep,llamas, goats, horses, alpacas etc were so fun to pet and feed. The parrots put on quite a show! Holding a baby kangaroo was something I will never forget. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! Stop on by yourself you won't regret it. I am recommending this to everyone I know!!!

Okay i am not one to like petting zoos, but this was AMAZING. I went in expecting disrespected animals in poor enclosures and that was NOT the case. Every animal was excited to see people, they made sure the animals were treated well and very fair priced. The animals look well tended and happy. A vet tech took our home school group around and taught us some cool things about their exotic critters. We even got to see a Newbern baby alpacha, camels, a baby cow, lots of cute baby pigs, ferrets, ring tailed lemurs and so much more. I have 3 kids 5 and under. Animals were all respectful and great to my kids. Will be going again.

We had a blast! Every employee I talked to was soo nice! I felt like they went out of their way to make it a great experience. I had 6 kids and 2 adults and it was safe and fun! One of the employees gave my younger kids ice cream! (I don't think the older kids wanted any lol) the animals looked healthy and extremely well taken care of.

Visited on a Tuesday, I was very busy and had a lot going on. They play area the kids absolutely loved. Most of the animals were full by noon so not eating much from the kids feed buckets. A lot of the animals looked as if they haven’t been groomed in a while and some looked as if they were over heating due to it. A couple of the animals looked like they needed vet care. We have come multiple times in the past and have never had a bad experience until this time.

What a sweet place. I do wish there has been more education about the animals but it was a good time.

Our family stopped in on a beautiful Sunday afternoon around 1pm. General admission is $15 and includes the Hayride, Pony Ride (90 lb. max), and Reptile room. Add on's included Feed buckets $5, Camel rides $10-15? (Can't remember, we chose not to do this as we've rode before and it's kinda rough ride, Hold a 6 ft Snake $5 (it is Free to hold and touch the smaller snakes), Monkey Show $10 (dates TBA), Hold a baby Kangaroo.
Our family of 4 spent $110, not including the concession. We bought 2 buckets of feed and chose to hold the baby Kangaroo, which we were a little disappointed with. The last time we visited the park, it was before the fire and we had a great experience holding the babies! This time we got to privately interact with small kangaroos. They have done great rebuilding their venue; however, we weren't as pleased this go round for the price. If you are afraid of free range farm animals, like baby goats and emu following you around, turkey, peacock, and so much more just roaming freely, then you probably shouldn't visit.

Absolutely love this petting zoo. The family and I enjoyed it so much for the second visit!! The animals are so friendly and are excited to see people. My daughter even held a snake 😲...

What a wonderful experience, ran by a great group of people. We shall return!
