Rutledge is just amazing I love to go and see the baby pigs, they have such quirky, different personalities. There are two cats there, one I named Spackles and the other I forgot so you go ahead and name it yourself. The goats are very silly. I've never been in the gift shop, but it is extremely convenient that they have exterior restrooms and drinking fountains. The walking trail is a nice gradient and is not too far away from the parking lot. It's a blast to pick pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.
There where barely any animals out and one bull had it's horn ripped off and it looked infected. Or it's a cow with a bad cut. They didn't run the cow train. Even though they advertise is it. The only good thing about this dingy place was the park. My 5 and 7 year old loved the parm.
