The Petting Farm
Let your family experience the farm animals, and some very special animals, up close and personal at our FREE Petting Farm.
We have a fascinating variety of critters waiting to meet you here at one of the cleanest petting farms in the country.
Barnyard Animals
From the farm, you'll be greeted by miniature horses, barnyard cats, miniature donkeys, sheep, Zoey the Zebra, and peacocks. Guests are invited to approach the animals, pet and feed them.
Children should always be in the company of their parents. Please know that animals might mistakenly "bite the hand that feeds them," so always feed the animals with an open hand. We do ask that you be certain to wash your hands after coming into contact with the animals and the animal confines, as a personal safety precaution.
The Goatwalk
High overhead, our mesmorizing goats, Larry, Moe and Curly,will demonstrate their agility and persistence in a variety of goatwalks and precarious perches. 
We have lots of feed available in machines and in larger quantities in the farm market— the kids will love some of the interesting contraptions used to crank the food up to the waiting goats.
Often, the goats and other animals will prefer to come to you and your kids, and we urge you to be sure and have your camera handy at all times!
Camel, Alpacas and Zebus

Our camel, Jeffrey, is friendly and playful, and will share kisses with the farmer's wife, and drink from a hose!
Jeffrey is a flirt, and you'll be tickled when this friendly face bats his enormous eye lashes your way!
And now, you are asking, what is a Zebu? Come out to see Thelma and Blossom, miniature Zebus, a special breed of cattle, which, as they grow, develop an upright hump on their backs.
On the left is Blossom.
Bunny Village
Don't miss one of our favoritie attractions, our Bunny Village. Bunny Village is a whole miniature town occupied by some of the cudlliest, cutest little critters your kids will ever hug!
The Petting Farm is free to our guests. To protect our animals, no 
outside food or drinks are allowed on the premises.
Special dietary food for the animals is available for sale on the grounds and in larger quantities in the farm market.
