Busy B also offers a covered trailer for rent for those who may not want to do the drive-thru to see all the animals.
And for more fun interaction with the animals, there is a petting zoo and even a walk-thru zoo too! You'll feel just like Dr. Doolittle and catch yourself talking to the animals before you leave this wonderful place.
