    Best experience ever!
    Was the best experience ever, highly recommend! The staff are all so lovely from the receptionist to the restaurant workers! Animals are all cared for and loved, the interaction with the ring tailed lemurs is by far the best experience! And the woman who took us into the lemurs on 21/09/2023 was so lovely and helpful giving us all information about them and was just so amazing! The food was incredible and all grown on the farm. When finishing the farm and going to the shop the lady was so lovely and had some baby kittens and a cat food fund for the stray cats they have and trying to find them homes. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough it’s a great place and great people!
    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience at Farma of Rhodes! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time and we hope you'll have the opportunity to visit us again in the future! Until then, we wish you many more joy-filled adventures!

    Definitely worth a visit.
    I cannot recommend this place enough, it's a family run petting zoo with lots of character. People who work there are so friendly and we got to feed and per so many animals including ostrich and lemurs. The lemurs climb on you, it really is a wonderful place that takes care of the animals. Can get slightly cheaper online.
    Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience at our farm and your recommendation means a lot to us. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another fantastic experience in the future!

    Visiting the zoo
    Back to the zoo after 4 years. Has changed things around. More hands on. Animals moved to different enclosures. The land outside the zoo was burnt from wildfire in 2022. More animals. More interaction. Had lunch at the zoo. Had a vegetarian lunch with feta and quinoa which was delicious. You could have ostrich omelette because they have many of these birds. Saw many animals. Lovely day out. Free parking outside.
    We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your return visit to our zoo! We are always making changes and improvements, and we are glad that you noticed. We are especially pleased that you enjoyed the increased opportunities for hands-on interaction with the animals. We also hope you enjoyed your vegetarian lunch. Thank you for your continued support!

    Lemur Experience You Will Never Forget!
    The zoo is spectacular. I was nervous about feeding the animals at first but soon plucked up the courage and had an amazing time! Highlight was the lemur experience. They climb all over you and you can feed and pet them. It is an experience I will never forget. You will never get an experience like this anywhere for this price!
    We are so glad that you had such a wonderful time at our zoo! The lemur experience is definitely a highlight for many of our guests, and we are glad that you enjoyed it. We agree that it is an experience that you will never forget. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

    Lemur Hats!!!!
    To be honest we have visited so many zoos wildlife park safari parks, so we have a real soft spot for seeing animals so Farma was one of the main reasons for going to Rhodes. So expectations were high! Spoiler: It did not disappoint! There is literally nowhere start to describe how awesome farma is! After you pay for entry there is an “option” to buy food, please budget to buy loads at, a couple of euros per pot buy as much as you can it will make the day soooooooooo special!!! So for literally 3 euros you can have a bundle of corn in your hands and have a massive ostrich scoffing the lot! Or loads of other animals but the derpy birds are our fav! Then as you walk down you get to the lemur enclosure, in small groups you get really really up close to lemurs as you sit with them getting fed!!! This is first time in my life I have ever had a Lemur hat!! they literally climb over you The family run restaurant has everything you had one for the family. And obviously being in Greece they have the chicken Nuggets that places like McDonald's can only dream of being able to serve. The ostrich omelette was absolutely sublime, The gift shop obv’s we bought the tea shirts but please save some pennies; the amazing ostrich egg artwork. They should literally charge entry just to see the exquisite egg art! How its done I have no clue! this was an experience that nowhere can recreate. We will talk about this day for ever! Thank you xx

    Wonderful day out
    Such a lovely farm. Me and my partner came for a visit and had a wonderful time looking round and seeing the animals. The interactive zones are brilliant. Ostrich feeding, sitting with the lemurs and walking through the goat enclosure were among the fab things you can do here. 100% recommend to anyone. Solo, couples and definitely families.

We were so glad to come here today. We had read that the farm had been affected by the forest fire in August and we were very keen to show our support and congratulate them on getting open again so quickly.
We stroked and fed lots of lovely animals; ostriches, cheeky goats, donkeys, ponies, the camel and lots of deer. And the lemurs were a real hit.
I'd recommend the cafe for ostrich and boar burgers, although due to the fire, they are on a limited menu at present. But you can still have an ostrich omelette.
Please visit. The owners lost their house in the fire but are still working flat out for the animals.

The petting zoo is very well organized and the animals look healthy. It is a small zoo but you can spend as much time as you like interacting with the animals.
They recently had a fire and lost 21 animals which was very sad to hear. So, there is a lot of transition taking place.
We wanted to support them to rebuild and reconstruct so we went there.
Don't give the ostriches all your corn. Save some for the goats, deer , and boars down the lane.
The sad part was at the end of the zoo where animals are crammed behind cages which we cannot even see. The lemurs are housed there (temporarily, I hope) and looked absolutely miserable. It was so disheartening to see them surrounded completely with stone walls and metal cages. I hope they will be moved back to their greener enclosure soon.
Our kids enjoyed feeding all the animals and getting to know their quirky personalities. We spent about 3 hours there.
The cafe, at the end, was very shady and welcoming after a hot day in the sun. We had some nice drinks there and enjoyed our sojourn with the animals.

Thank you very much! We are doing our best to keep our animals safe and restore their home after the devastating fires hit our area. Lemurs are temporary placed in the cage because their enclosure was destroyed and has to be rebuilt!

Lovely few hours spent here on our final day in Rhodes. Only 10 minutes from the airport so works well for those with an afternoon/evening flight. Came here for the kids and was one of the highlights of their holiday. It’s not huge, but unique in that you are encouraged to pet and feed all the animals. The children fed and petted the ostriches, camels and lemurs and had the best time. A good few hours can be whiled away here, enjoying the company of the animals. The children went into the Ostrich enclosure and held an Ostrich egg - not something I thought my daughter would dare do, but the friendly guide went in with them and was very encouraging and knowledgeable. We also met the owner who shared his passion for animals and how he loves seeing the children all have fun. Definitely a family feel about the place which was nice. Would recommend.

We visited in the morning, so there were only 3 other people.

Animals are very friendly, once they see you’ve got cup of veggies (2€) they come running. Ostriches (many, they’re bred there and there’s a restaurant full of ostrich theme food so imagine... ), donkeys, kangaroos, camels (really small living area), pigs, all kinds of poultry and goats you can walk freely with.. one chicken in the cage limping pretty bad :( paid 7€ for adult.

We fed and stroked the Ostriches which was an amazing experience, the lady was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable entering the enclosure.
We then got to feed the horses, dokeys, goats, warthogs and camels. The food was only €2 and lasted for all the animals which was great value. We then got to enter the lemur enclosure where the guy told us lots about them and let the lemurs climb on us. Overall all the staff were very friendly, the animals are well looked after and its was amazing value for money! Will definitely be back when we next come to Rhodes!

Our excursion was cancelled, so we rented a car and just drove around Rhodos to find nice spots to visit. I read about the petting zoo before on the internet and I am grateful we visited it.

The staff was really nice. Especially the woman who was working with the ostriches. She explained a lot about these animals and was extremely nice and open for every question. We are really happy we decided to go to this experience!

Would visit next time, hope we could pet the rabbits and guinea pigs in the future as well ;-)

What an amazing petting zoo! We went with our 18 month old and she absolutely loved feeding the animals. The talks by the keepers are really good an informative, and the animals are very keen to see you if you have the food which you can buy upon entry. So reasonably priced and a great way to spend a couple of hours if you’re visiting Rhodes. Also if you visit the cafe The menu is all vegetarian/vegan but the do fish fingers and chicken nuggets for kids. Myself and my partner both eat meat but had the mushroom gyros which were to DIE for!!! Couldn’t recommend the park as a whole enough ☺️

Visiting yesterday for the first time the Peeting Zoo, i was amazed by the work done by the owners to give again life to the place who unfortunately burned last year due to the big heat wave. All is done with a lot of love. Very nice natural decoration with wood and stone with a small stone church in the middle of the Park. You can enjoy there a lot of different animals, a lot of Ostrich, different birds, peacock, rabbit, donkeys, wild goat, camel, horse,wild boar, deer, the wonderful Lama and the impressive parc of the racoon. Souvenir shop, small coffee/restaurant for your break and a kid place.Everything to spend a great moment with your family or in couple!!!

Thank you very much for your visit! Indeed Farma of Rhodes went through many difficulties due to the large fire that struck Rhodes island last year. But with your love and support, we had the strength not only to take care of the animals but also to make the Farma even better than before! Thanks again for visiting us!

We came into our visit with modest expectations of the day to come but wow, these were blown out of the water immediately. This truly is a MUST DO for all animal lovers that are visiting Rhodes.

The animals are well cared for by an international team of experts whose knowledge and passion comes through via the interactive experiences. There are a total of three enclosures we were able to enter to interact with animals at no added cost; these were the ostriches, the goats and last but certainly not least the ring tailed lemurs - all of which had the most heart warming babies roaming around freely and happily.

Just after noon while we were enjoying our lovely meal at the inbuilt restaurant, the keepers brought out two of the energetic young racoons to allow visitors to hold and take photos with them. I've been to zoos before and quite honestly, nothing compares to this experience. My partner and I stayed almost from open to close enjoying and taking in the atmosphere. Would recommend this attraction to any visitor (families, couples and groups alike) who love animals and wish to gain memories that will last a lifetime.
