Farma of Rhodes | Petting Zoo

I can't imagine why this attraction is not more popular in regards to the top things to do in Rhodes because we had such a great time here. We arrived shortly after 10am at the end of the tourist season, and we first entered the lemur enclosure. There was hardly anyone there so my spouse and I had a whole interactive session by ourselves for at least 15 minutes. The lady (sorry, forgot her name) caretaker of the lemurs was so endearing when it comes to her extreme love, care, and dedication to the lemurs. She was very patient explaining everything about lemurs and vowed if the lemurs were not in the mood, she would suspend all interaction for their well-being. And she never gave us the feeling of trying to kick us out (I actually felt bad we were taking so much of her time). She literally has the best job in the world! The food to feed the rest of the animals were a bargain...(watch out the goats will jump at you at the first chance by sensing you have food right away). We were also able to pet ostriches, raccoons, donkeys, camels, farm animals, and the native cats, plus try omelettes and scrambled ostrich eggs at the excellent family-run restaurant. Very unique place. Come here for a half-day of amusement, whether you are young or old. We spent a significant amount of money (€73) to get from Rhodes Old Town and back, but it was worth every euro for the chance to interact with certain animals that couldn't be done elsewhere. The bus stop, too, was still a 15-20 minute walk inland to Farma, perhaps not a good idea in sweltering heat or humidity, so we ended up choosing a prebooked transfer for the convenience.

Amazing place 😍 We visited the zoo on our last day on the island and we are so glad we did. You can clearly see that these animals are taken good care of. The woman who’s taking care of the lemurs is such a sweet person, very professional, told us a lot about them. Lemurs in this zoo are very well behaved which means they really have a good care there. You can interact with almost every animal and there’s no one rushing you. Awesome experience definitely recommend visiting 🤍

Me and my partner came to see and feed the animals, which all looked healthy and happy. The lemur experience was amazing getting to be so close to them and even feed them. The lady who cares for the lemurs was really friendly and very informative about them. The raccoon experience was also amazing getting to feed them and pet them, the carers was also super informative and friendly. The food is all vegetarian and really nice from the cafe along with been reasonable priced and fast service. All in all I would highly recommend visiting.

A lovely little petting zoo, plenty of animals to interact with. Very friendly staff, and the restaurant was good too. The highlight of the animals was certainly the Lemurs! An experience like no other; they were very friendly and climbing all over us. I would highly recommend.

This attraction is an absolute must-visit for any animal enthusiast. As someone who has always loved animals—especially lemurs—I was delighted by the incredible range of experiences on offer. I was particularly surprised and thrilled to have the chance to see and feed the raccoons! There are numerous opportunities for interaction, and being able to enter the enclosures and feed the animals made the experience truly special. We waited a short while for the lemurs to wake up, and when we were invited into their enclosure, it was wonderful to see them up close. I was lucky enough to have baby Romeo, the young lemur, come over to me! When I shared my enthusiasm for lemurs with the keeper, she kindly allowed my partner and me to stay a little longer. As we sat quietly near the benches, the lemurs became more active—jumping around us and even holding our hands. The entire experience was magical, and every member of staff we met was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals—it’s something truly unforgettable.

Wow!! The absolute highlight of our holiday to Rhodes, it really is a must visit if you love animals. We last visited Rhodes 25 years ago and whilst researching places to visit this time round I thought this place seemed familiar. It was amazing to find out that the original ostrich farm we decided to stop by all that time ago has turned into this wonderful facility. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, giving us a warm welcome and encouragement to feed the animals. Food was delicious, eaten on a lovely shaded terrace. The lemurs definitely steal the show and it was the most amazing experience. We had 2 hours here as it was an organised excursion, we would have preferred 3 hours so that we could walk around again after lunch. You won't regret your visit 😊

A Must-Visit, it felt like a truly hands-on adventure. The animals are friendly, well-cared for, and seem happy to engage with visitors. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone who loves animals. If you are in Rhodes, make sure this is on your itinerary. You won't be disappointed! Highly Recommended!

We went to the zoo in the morning, and it was the best decision we could have made. The zoo is located in the hills, so you can expect a classic Greek winding road uphill. But it's worth it! The interactive enclosures are amazing. For €2, you can buy food for the animals and feed practically all of them in the zoo, and in some enclosures, you can even pet them. The best part of the whole zoo is the lemurs. These amazing creatures have their "mom" who will guide you through the enclosure, introduce you to the lemurs, and let you feed them. I really liked the access to the animals, and if I ever go back to Rhodes, I will definitely visit again.
