Fiesta Farm

Went here a few weeks ago. The place is very run down and is basically operated by one woman, a teenage kid, and the woman’s 9 year old girl who was rude and followed us around the whole time. The animals seem sick and look that way too just a sad little place when I thought letting zoos are supposed to be happy places. It smelled like the place had not been cleaned for weeks and I feared for mine and my child’s health. Spend your time and money somewhere else. It’s no wonder that the place is currently for sale.

We had a great day on the farm! The kids loved the animals, hay rides and pony rides! The staff were all very friendly. We had a great time! It was really hot today, but there is plenty of shade and lots of place to sit, relax and cool down. Two thumbs up to the friendly staff.

Hate this place! Filthy, smelly and just plain sad. The employees were feeding the hogs pepperoni pizza. Pizza! No one, whether two-​legged or four-​legged, looks happy to be there. Save your money and go to a real working farm, there are some that offer tours.

Terrible staff of junior high children during the summer. Several times animals were taken away and pinned up so they couldn’t be pet. Interesting to pay 20 bucks for my child to come in (2 adults), only to have little to no entertainment.

We went there for my sons field trip at school. Some of the employees that worked there were condescending and very rude, especially to our children. If you don’t have patience to work with children you should not be working at a petting zoo. They were very unorganized as well. Apparently employees bring their kids to work with them which I found very unprofessional. Especially when the lady handed her baby to one of our teachers and zasked if she could ride the hay ride with her while she drove. This happened several times during our trip there. While kids were doing a relay race, it was very apparent that we were an inconvenience to them. As she hurriedly told the kids what to do and then took off to do something else. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Employees are rude, hand their kids off to you, are condescending to children, and make you feel like you’ve inconvenienced them.

I accompanied my daughter and grandson to fiesta farms on a Saturday morning. The drive into the farm revealed some stuffed animals sitting in the trees which I thought was quite strange. The office staff are not friendly. They seem only interested in taking the payment. You are pretty much free to roam wherever on your own which I liked. There are many different kinds of animals and many babies. There is NO grass anywhere. It’s all dirt and cactus. The animals seem well fed but many of them had diarrhea and none of them are well groomed. The rabbits are enclosed in small dirty crates with wire bottoms. A baby goat got out of the enclosure so I picked it up. I could feel it’s bones and it had diarrhea. I don’t know much about farms but I have raised chickens and other animals. Deworming is usually something done on a regular basis. There were several birthday parties going on and I couldn’t imagine letting my child eat anything here. There are several hand washing stations which we took advantage of several times. We will not return to this particular «farm».

Had a blast at the farm today! We went with a friend (thank you GROUPON) and the kids had a great time feeding the animals, riding the pony and the receiving a hayride. But I must say the most amazing part was that one of the goats had a baby (kid) in front of us!!! What a miracle of life! Thank you to Fiesta Farms for allowing OUR kids to choose the name. So next time we go out we will be sure to look for Blueberry. Truly a one of a kind experience. We enjoy going there and will surely be back– loving the new play areas (tire dragon??) that you are building.

I’m surprised at some of the reviews and ratings I’m seeing for this place! I took my nieces here awhile back after buying a deal on groupon and they had so much fun! We bought some of the feed to give out, there was a bubble machine going, they had a good sized sand box to play in, the tires were fun to climb on, they thought the hay ride was fun, there was a water table type feature, they LOVED the horse ride, and of course the animals! I never had a bad experience with the workers and never noticed anything looking particularly unkept. I was even surprised at how well they handled the birthday party going on AND the other guests without anyone feeling pushed to the side. It’s true, they will get dirty, but I expected that. I’d definitely take them again.

Shame on you Feista Farms, your Westcreek Pumpkin Patch was a complete disappointment for my little family. Got my Groupon, spent $ 27 for 4. Sucks mostly cuz i have a 1yr old who can’t eat the pizza or soda offered on the deal, but we got the groupon anyways because of the advertisement of such a great deal. Pizza, drinks, petting zoo, activities and FREE pumpkins for all in group. Got there. Parking was terrifying, people literally parking anywhere their cars could fit amongst the rough terrain of rocks, dead trees and dirt mounds. No organization for check-​in, 3 different lines for 3 different things running into each other. People were. standing in the wrong line for a good 5 minutes before they realized it was wrong. When we got to the wrist band check in table, we were told that there was a problem «we don’t have any free pumpkins, but you can get a large pumpkin for $ 4 off» when asked where these large pumpkins were, this teenage deadhead could not point me in any direction. So now off to see the petting zoo. Zoo? These are tiny, what appeared to be dehydrated animals crammed in little wire cages, being poked and petted and pulled by unsupervised children (no free pumpkin, can i take a baby chick instead?) Now to look for some punpkins, which the only 9 we saw were at the photo op place with hay and 4 were in the stagnant creek that festered with mosquitos. But they were all bruised and one was covered in ants. Ok, maybe we will find pumpkins on this Owl spotting walk we were told about. I really didn’t expect real Owls but what i did expect was pumpkins. Nope, none on the Owl spotting trail of tied up Stuffed animal amongst the dead trees. Ok maybe taking a ride on the hayride we will find this pumpkin patch the picture on their facebook and groupon shows acres of pumpkins with some little happy girl (maybe she took all the pumpkins). Wait, what do you mean a teenager will be driving my us around and wait, there weren’t any pumpkins to spot on the ride. Ok, so no thank you for the hayride Mr Similac, we rather walk the rough terrain of dirt. Still on our mission to find this pumpkin patch. We decided lets go get our promised pizza and drink. Yet another complete disappointment. What do you mean there’s No pizza available? and the drinks were all sodas,. Now i have nothing against the soda industry but my 9 yo & 1 yo will not be drinking soda as a refreshment after a long sweaty walk of searching for a invisible pumpkin patch. Another reason this is one of the fatest cities, soda. Thank you we will take the 4 sodas and keep for company visitors at home. Thank goodness we always have our own water. Face painting was also offered, but The only face painting for us was the mixture of sweat and dirt on our faces. There was a pony ride for extra money. I asked if we could get a free pony ride since there was no pizza, no FREE pumpkins and NO PUMPKIN PATCH. Of course that answer was No. But poor pony, we didn’t want to ride that thing anyways, it looked like it was about to drop dead of exhaustion. Anyways when we went to request a refund or heck, even a rain check because the FALSE advertisement (i mean the little girl in the picture was surrounded by beautiful pumpkins). We were told of course, NO. So We spent $ 27 for 4 sodas, walking and dirty clothes. We would have made off better at Walmart, But this was our family day trip and we were excited. Sadly the mysterious pumpkin patch i hear is still MIA. We found a better pumpkin patch off of Tezel Rd. Its at a church and they have an over abundance of pumpkins! Shame on you feista farms for getting in the mix of a Dirty HOA of Westcreek crooks. Seriously, we just wanted a «free» pumpkin!

Pumpkin Patch with no Pumpkins!!!
All the pumpkins were rotten. Would not pay $ 30 to come here again

If I could give this place NO STARS, I would! I have not even attended this place and I already do not want to give them my business nor would I recommend this place to anyone! I called the number on the website today, at 11:50pm expecting to get an voicemail since it was so late. All I wanted was to see if the voicemail would give me anymore information. Well I got no voicemail, someone answered the phone. I thought wow even better than the voicemail. Well I thought wrong, I simply asked «Yes I was just wondering how far in advance you have to book for a party» She said «Well it really doesn’t matter, were you expecting to get a voicemail?» I said «Yes, I was» and I was proceeding to say about the day I was thinking of but I was cut off by the lady and she said «Can you just ask your question because I really don’t want to be on the phone». When I heard that, it made me angry, I just hung up. My thought is that, if you don’t want to be on the phone then WHY ANSWER IT??? It always comes back to customer service. I was already planing to book a party but now that I know I won’t be treated with good customer service when I am there, I will not ever be attending. As well as telling everyone around San Antonio area not to attend this place. Just by one phone call, I can tell you that you will not be treated nice there.

I took my two children here after purchasing a groupon. I am so glad I didn’t pay full price. This was a very small farm. It didn’t seem very well taken care of. The employees didn’t talk to us or even offer any information. The pony ride was a teenager walking the pony up a short ways and turning back. Maybe lasted less than a minute. Seriously. I didn’t even bother with the hay ride. There wasn’t much hay on it nor did it seem exciting. My kids played in the sand box area most of the time. I won’t go back. This is Texas, where is the farm experience?

It’s a small cute little spot. My little boy loved it and didn’t want to leave. I heard about this place through groupon. I paid $ 8 for two. I do have to agree with some other reviews about the lady at the cash register. She didn’t even give eye contact, didn’t smile, and didn’t even say hi or welcome. But other than that it was a good experience!

The only reason we came here is because I found a groupon deal $ 15 for 4 people. As soon as we checked in the lady at the cash register wasn’t very friendly. No welcome, no smile, just very business like and seemed unhappy and annoyed. As soon as we started exploring more I felt very happy I didn’t pay full price. All the animals were very sweet but the animals weren’t the issue. There were two possibly middle school age children running everything! There were absolutely zero adults that worked there other than the lady at the register. The poor kids were doing their best… feeding the animals, changing their water, running the pony ride (yes) and driving the tractor for the hay ride (you read that right). I’m all about giving young kids responsibility but I felt like this made our experience so much less exciting. I feel like more adults throughout the farm explaining about the animals would have been fun and informative. The «playscape» looked old and dilapidated. The giant tire areas were fun for my boys but there was some trash around which made it look unkept. Sadly, I feel like this place could be so so much better and offer more to kiddos. I most likely will never bring my kiddos here unless we are invited for a birthday or get another cheap deal. Sad and disappointed :(

I called several others prior to reading about Fiesta Farm. We live out in Bandera, Texas and my grandsons 1^st birthday was coming up. My daughter wasn’t able to start planning until a week before. All the other «We bring the farm animals to you» places were booked or insanely overpriced. I read through some reviews and saw where Fiesta Farm covers for the others when they mess up or overbook. I decided to call Fiesta and pray they had openings with 5 days till the party. The phone was answered professionally and my fears were put to rest.
On the day of the party they arrived on time with a baby pig, 2 chickens, 2 baby goats, 2 rabbits and a beautiful white pony. The gentleman who brought the animals was wonderful with all the kids. He also made sure all the animals were comfortable at all times. Every animal was friendly with the kids. I would highly recommend Fiesta Farms if you want animals brought to your location. Thank you to everybody at Fiesta Farm for working with me last minute and making Noah’s 1^st birthday full of great memories! We will be bringing the family for a visit come fall!

Took our son there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Pulled into the parking lot, and we were greeted by 3 peacocks wandering around, we hadn’t even paid yet, and my son loved it! Right before you go in the office to pay was a gated area with baby goats and pigs. The price when we went was $ 7 per person, they give a military discount if you ask, you can also buy feed for a dollar.
The staff were extremely friendly throughout the entire day.
My son had a total blast! This Sunday wasn’t very busy, and we basically had the run of the place. We started at the tire obstacle course, then saw a small pumpkin patch. We fed some emus, played in a sandbox, then my son went on a pony ride. We then went to the petting zoo which had sheep and goats. We then went on a short hayride, they decorated the trees with different stuffed animals, my son had fun finding different animals, he was thrilled to see a dragon in one of the trees. It was really odd, but we enjoyed it.
They have a cute bunny area, a worker will come in a take out different ones for the kids to pet. Right beside the bunny area is a bubble machine, which was going full blast the whole time we were there. There were areas with turkeys, pigs, we saw teeny piglets, so cute! There were also donkeys, llamas, a longhorn, A baby pig had learned how to squeeze out of the pen that it was in with its mom, it would just run around free until kids (AKA my husband) chased it, then it would do an acrobat course to get back in the pen with it’s mamma. As soon as the coast was clear, it would get back out again, it was pretty funny.
They have plenty of picnic tables and there is a little playground area that my son also spent a lot of fun in. You should definitely bring your own food, there is not much available for purchase.
All in all, we had a great afternoon! The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the playground playscape was pretty dirty and it was a little expensive, but we will definitely be back!

I purchased the $ 7 Groupon to take my 2 kids there for a little adventure & surprisingly found that I had to pay my own admission as well. It’s not like I could leave my pre-​schoolers there so I had to pay $ 14 more in order to stay with my children. It felt like a rip-​off already! Inside, there’s nothing exciting, definitely not worth $ 21!!! They have few common farm animals like rabbits, goats and horses. The only highlight was probably riding the pony (2 rounds, leashed & walked by the worker). I would rate a little higher if the accompanied adult is free but this is not the case.

Okay, okay. I know in my previous review, I said I’d never come back here. Well, I got another Livingsocial deal and decided to go back. I figured since my son is quite a bit older now, maybe he would enjoy it more and maybe it had changed. Well, it hasn’t.
Instead of there being a goat with a really tight rope around it’s neck, there was a poor sheep with a tight rope around it’s mouth. I don’t know why they think it’s OK to do that to the animal. It made me so sad. I even took a picture of it (see the picture).
The place hasn’t changed… didn’t get lost though considering I remembered where to go from last time, so that definitely helped the experience.
Hayride was still creepy, petting zoo gave me the heebie jeebies, playground was still rusty. The only good part was the pony ride!

I’m between three and four stars on this one. I came here for a birthday party, and the overall venue is very large. They allow a large number of guests without additional charge, which is really nice compared to other venues in the city. It is really not that far from the city center, but once there Fiesta Farm makes you feel like it’s out in the country. The closest intersection would be 1604 and Shanefield area.
The animals look well cared for, and the bunny pen is adorable. There are all different types of rabbits, and the kids LOVE it. There are also pony rides, and the staff are very careful about making sure appropriate size kids ride the right sized pony. A hay ride is basically just an ATV pulling a trailer, but hey kids don’t really question that sort of thing.
The only thing that I didn’t really like was the playground toward the back. It had been raining the night before and the thing was covered in mud. Okay, I know kids are supposed to get dirty, but the mom in me was not happy to see my kid go down the slide straight into a pile of mud and leaves. If someone would just hose the thing down in the morning that would be nice. I also had a couple of concerns about snakes. I did not see any snakes, but having grown up in Texas I know that farm + creek bed + old tires added to playscapes can lead to snake scares. I did a «once over» the area before I let any of my group run around.
I would take kids out here again. There is plenty of room to run around and play, and the overall selection of animals is unique and can be made educational. Just don’t dress them in anything that you mind being ruined. There is also not really any food out here, so either pack a snack or plan on eating before/​after.

My parents took my daughter to Fiesta Farm 1.30.11. Without being warned not to feed the ponies, my daughter finger was bitten, tugged, and she was pulled into a fence. She was taken to the ER the next morning for her injuries. When the underage staff was alerted at the time of the bite, no apologies were given, and the first aid that my mother requested were in filthy condition, fortunately my mother had supplies in her car. No signs are up warning of ponies that bite, and none of the staff told my parents or kids not to feed them. When i contacted the owner, she had an uncaring attitude, and has not responded on a refund or for paying for the medical bills for my daughter. I don’t think this is a safe or sanitary place for children. This business is not up to par and probably needs an inspection. My daughter is going in for a check up to determine if a rabies shot is needed, and a bite report was filled out on the pony for through the city.
