Beautiful Creatures Animal Ranch - Dunnellon, Florida

What an absolutely incredible experience! We recently traveled to the Ocala area dor vacation. While there, we did the "Sloth and Friends Encounter" at Beautiful Creatures Animal Ranch/Farm to You Review in Dunnellon, FL. We did not see days/times on their website that worked for us, but we messaged them on Facebook and we were able to schedule that way. So, if you’re interested in a certain experience but don’t see it available, I definitely recommend reaching out to them!

We had an absolutely incredible experience interacting with animals like sloths, lemurs, goats, sheep, pigs, tortoises, lamas, alpaca, water deer, porcupine, Patagonian maras, kangaroo, and emu (I think I got all of those right lol)

I do get nervous going into petting zoo type operations, but at Beautiful Creatures, all of the animals were all in great condition and beautifully cared for. The guide shared the preferences of the animals and was very respectful of their wishes and boundaries. Candice also taught us so much about each of them.

This was the highlight of our trip and such a hidden gem. This is something my family will remember for the rest of our lives and I'm so grateful I stumbled across this place. It is worth the drive from anywhere in Florida for sure! Thank you for this core memory 🩵

What an amazing experience this was!! Candice and her family do such a wonderful job caring for such a wide variety of fascinating animals. We were allowed to pet and feed many of the animals while learning about them. Candice's knowledge of and love for these animals was evident. We enjoyed every minute of our tour, but our favorites were Dolly the sloth, Betty the porcupine and Hopper the kangaroo.

We loved the variety and value of the animal interactions so much when we visited last April that we came back for a second visit yesterday. What a wonderful unique opportunity to enjoy amazing animal interactions! We trekked with llamas and got to feed and/or pet a porcupine, muntjacs, a camel, emu, and see two cavy up close. Highly recommend.

Scott was a super friendly guide. Him and his wife have a beautiful ranch and you can tell they really take such great care of all their critters. Their animals are happy, and friendly! I got to walk with Strings - he is a wonderful donkey. So many different animals to pet, it was a really cool experience. Looking forward to booking again at Beautiful Creatures.

I love Farm to You Revue! They have been visiting our school for the last three years and providing a hands on experience for our students. Both the farm and small exotic animals are always a huge hit. They are knowledgeable and affordable.

I finally booked a tour of the farm with my family. We recently had the most incredible spring break day at the farm and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of hospitality that made us feel right at home.

The Animal Barn tour offered an up close encounter with a variety of friendly and engaging animals such as goats, llamas, chickens, alpacas, emus, ponies, donkeys and even a camel! The kids had a blast feeding and interacting with the animals, and the staff was on hand to guide us and answer any questions we had.

One of the highlights of our day was the guided tour of the farm, and meeting some of the exotic residents of the farm. It was fascinating to learn about each animal. When asked which was their favorite my kids had a hard time choosing. We had the unique experience of meeting kinkajous, an African porcupine, tortoises, snakes, parrots, a bearded dragon and more!

Overall, our day at the farm was one of the best family outings we have had in a long time. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the tour was engaging and educational. I would highly recommend this farm to anyone looking for a fun and memorable day out with their loved ones.

We just left this ranch and I felt compelled to write a review immediately. Best animal encounter experience I’ve ever had and I’ve been to quite a few. The owner and guide, Scott, took his time in educating us and allowing us to spend time with the animals. The animals are healthy and happy, and welcome the visit. Our favorite encounter was with baby Hopper, their kangaroo, although they were all worthwhile and sweet. Definitely worth the experience and intend to return with family. If you have kids, this is a must.

We enjoyed this experience so much! Scott was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. We didn’t feel rushed meeting any of the animals. And getting to pet and hand feed a sloth was amazing!!!

Wonderful morning spent at Beautiful Creatures Animal Ranch. Dealt with Candice via text and she gladly accommodated our request for a weekday tour. Scott was our guide and did an awesome job introducing us to all the animals. We were able to feed and pet almost all of them. Our group consisted of 2 adults and a 17 yo. Upon entering the Ranch and seeing several of the animals from the car, my teenage daughter exclaimed "I could die from happiness!" We chose the llama, alpacca, and miniature horse for our 1.5 mile walk. Such a great experience for adults and kids! I highly recommend this tour!!!
