Runyan Ranches - Mayhill NM

Beautiful property and a wonderful experience! The animals were a huge hit, and the owners were extremely nice. Make sure to try their delicious cherries and grab some snacks while you visit. The facility is great, including a very clean restroom. Highly recommend a visit!

We happen to find this cute little zoo/ ranch on our way to Arizona. This is a diamond in New Mexico. Their little stand has all homemade jellies honeys. What can I say about this place? It is a true find and treasure, especially for families. What I liked about this place most is that they allow you to trout fish and you don't have to have a license. The kids can come and look at all the animals and walk around the ponds which are absolutely beautiful. The people are just so nice Pam. I got to meet her and her lovely daughter and husband. This truly is just a cute family I understand. Just trying to bring joy to everybody else. Do yourself a favor come on by and support this local family and ranch. I will definitely be coming back through! And what can I say about that amazing cherry cider? Get a dozen of them. It's worth it.

It has a great family atmosphere and the petting zoo is just perfect for children... The store carries a wide variety of great things to eat.... And Tom Runyan is a master host and speaks Spanish better than Spanish folk. Its a family atmosphere.

Sweet stop! A farm stand with local and homemade goodies alongside national brand snacks and beverages. Some gifts and toys to purchase to help occupy the kids on a long car ride. A variety of animals to view and interact with and friendly folks to chat with. Small but clean bathrooms by the camels were worth the snack purchase to support the local small business. Way better than any gas station rest stop for sure!

Came here with my sister and her family (they recommended this as a great place for us to spend time). Had a blast ! They have Goats to feed, a Zebra, even rainbow trout! Prices are very reasonable too for the feed bag. Shop has all local stuff and the staff are very friendly. Very nice place to sit down and relax too. Right off the US 82 highway between Artesia and Cloudcroft. Very responsive on the phone + Google Maps messaging.
