Big Red's Barn Indoor Animal Experience and Education - Zoo in Coeur d'Alene - 7397 N Government Wy, USA

This place is fantastic! The animals are so well cared for! As another pet professional and business owner I was extremely impressed with how clean it was and how all the animals had great enclosures. We will definitely be a regular when ever in town.

My girlfriend and I decided to take a long lunch and get some much needed Otter therapy lol...we had the best time and are planning our next trip to see the Sloths 😄. It was $50 to get hands on with Otters and totally worth it. Once you are done playing with the girls, you get to enjoy as time as you want with the rest of the animals. The only part that bothered me was the poor dog locked in a glass room, it looked so sad and lonely and in my opinion should have been with the girls behind the counter with the girls at the door. Fun and entertaining experience for sure 😊...

You guys! This place! So flippin cool! We did the Otter experience with Gina. She is THE BEST! The sweetest lady who told us a lot of facts about them. The staff was great and the animals were all so cool to be able to pet and feed. Will definitely go again if in the area.

Perfect place for kids to get some great interaction with all different kinds of animals. Everything from baby cows to baby wallabies. My daughter held a python, which she was very excited about. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. We will definitely be back on a regular basis.

My original review 4 years ago: Our toddler had fun. The animal area was neat. Well kept and the staff was friendly. The reptile room was rough, pretty dingy. Seemed like the basement of someone's house they just threw together really fast. As a long time reptile owner lots of improper lights etc, but reptiles are pretty resilient. We revisited finally and it seemed like the place went under a lot of changes. The reptile room was way better, no smells, reptiles had everything they needed. The entire place was great. We had a wonderful time. Definitely a vast improvement!

This 110% worth the money ($15)! Me and a small group of friends went as a little hurrah before we all go to college and it was such a fun experience. And feeding buckets aren’t a bad price either, the employees/helpers are very nice as well. Overall, 100/10 would totally do again🩷

A little pricey. Bur fun and the kids enjoyed it! Lots of different animals to see and feed! All indoors which I'm sure us nice in winter and they have a party room for birthdays! Everyone should go once! Nothing like being attacked for food like baby goat attacks! LoL Nothing scarey. Just great fun!

For a petting zoo, this is quite nice! They do a great job of keeping it really clean and there was plenty of staff offering to answer questions or offer assistance. All animals you can touch were very well mannered: Llama had ears back often- but NEVER did spit😄. The otters were the BEST! So adorable; could've watched them all day. We spent about 1 and a half hours and left being glad we went!
