WE HAVE ICE SWAMP COOLER RENTALS JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOT SUMMER - CAMP COOL IN YOUR TENT OR EVEN YOUR CAR/SUV (YES, WE ALLOW CAR CAMPING)!
Embark on an Enchanting Journey at The Fabulous Bok Vegas Interactive Petting Zoo and Farm—a delightful haven for an affordable family experience in East Texas, nestled between Palestine and Athens. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of our picturesque farm as you explore the Big Foot trail and unwind in the Toadally Awesome Secret Garden.
Be sure to visit our farm store, where you’ll discover a delightful array of farm products, camping supplies, and a tempting selection of food, snacks, and drinks. While you’re here, watch the kids play on the playground, and engage in lively family games—from Giant Jenga to Giant Sorry, checkers, and chess.
Excitingly, our zoo is currently expanding, promising an even more memorable experience. To plan your visit, head to BokVegas.com. For campers, the zoo is complimentary, while $10 Farm Day Passes cover up to four people.
Our operating hours are as follows:
- Day Passes: Available from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Wednesday through Sunday.
- Campers: We welcome campers at the petting zoo by appointment during your stay.
Why did we decide to build an animal adventure park? We were both divorced, single parents and struggled financially when we met in 2009. It was difficult raising a blended family of seven, especially when it came to finding activities that could be accommodated on a very limited budget. You can learn more about our personal journey on our website, but to keep it short here, we wanted to create a family friendly experience that remains affordable and provides educational opportunity for visitors of all ages. (We did the farming/homesteading for Dummies for you).
*We are a wife/husband team and there is a lot of work for two when we need 10 employees. So, there are storm damaged trees or limbs from logged trees (we operate our own sawmill) and burn holes here and there. As one young recent guest remarked to his dad, this is a REAL farm the animals can come right up to you, and it smells like POOP!
