My nieces and nephew request Deer Farm for their birthdays every year. The pony rides have them hooked. My neice Julia loves Smoky and has to ride him everytime. She is so excited to go this year and we look forward to going back! Great for kids and the zonkey is awesome!!!!
Went this past weekend (Oct 5). Weather was nice and cool.
First thing we noticed when we got there was the smell, but we grew up on a farm so it wasn't "that" much of a shock.
Kids enjoyed the pony ride. That was pretty neat.
As for the petting zoo, it needs help. I don't like to see animals in gravel floored ...

If you have kids who love animals this is an awesome place to go, the kids get to feed and pet different animals (goats, horses, ponies, zebra, reindeer etc). The people are very friendly too and I've never been to a place where you can pet and feed so many different animals. The camels are cute too!! Just be a little careful of the deers, they ...
We loved our visit to the Deer farm! Granted we went on a beautiful day so I wouldn't recommend visiting ANY farm in the heat of the summer. All the animals seemed very well taken care of and looked pretty happy. The emu chicks had some leg issues but I don't know anything about emus. The poor potbelly piggy also had some sever skin ...
My four year old loved this place. You get to feed and pet on these animals such as zebra, camels, emus, deer of different types, zonkey(a zebra and donkey mix), kangaroo, and etc. My daughter really enjoyed the pony ride, they a extremely gentle. If you have kids I highly recommend this place.

Small but fun

The petting zoo wasn't as large as we anticipated, but the people were very nice and there were a variety of animals. You can go right into the deer pens and the goat pens. The feed is $2.50 per 22 oz. cup, enough for one person to feed quite a few animals but probably not enough to share. It was a few miles off the main road, well off the ...

Having a two year old grandson that loves all kinds of animals i went searching on the internet and found this place. IT IS WONDERFUL!!! I think the animals just think they are part of the family (and I'm sure they are). We ...

wonderful family experience

The Smoky Mountain Deer Farm is one of the most pleasant places I have ever visited. The employees were some of the nicest people in the area. (Especially the longer haired gentleman in the gift shop who gave me excellent directions for traveling around the area.) The animals are very well cared for. They all seemed very happy and VERY well fed. ...
I absolutely loved our visit to this petting zoo. It was great! It was one of my favorite things about our trip to the mountains. The deer were really neat! So were the reindeer and the goats were so sweet! I held one of the babies. I wanted to bring it home. And then went over to the stables and went horseback riding (my first time ever). I fell ...
