Hands on petting zoo set on 6 1/2 park-like acres. Great
variety of farm animals and birds. Lots of room to run and
have fun.
FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS- The
kids really enjoyed being able to feed and pet the animals....much
more fun for them than a hands-off zoo experience. Convenient
hand washing facilities for after petting and feeding. There
is even a playground on site.
