About this tour
Meet a charming cast of farm animals during this 60-minute El Cajon Petting Zoo Experience. Get up close with gentle Kunekune pigs, playful Nigerian Dwarf goats, and sweet Babydoll and Friesian sheep, then spend time with the farm’s majestic Highland cows. There are soft bunnies to cuddle and a cheerful flock of fluffy Silkie and crested Polish chickens to meet, too.
This hands-on visit offers animal lovers and families a relaxed way to interact with a variety of heritage and miniature breeds. After your time with the animals, browse the farm store for a souvenir. The El Cajon Petting Zoo Experience includes admission and interaction with domesticated animals, with a live English-speaking guide.
To find the meeting point, turn right from Alta Lane onto Alta Place and follow the asphalt road through the gates marked Welcome to A Simpler Time.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
