Things You Will

See, Hear, Smell, and Touch

Petting Barn

Meet our friendly animals up close — from gentle donkeys and miniature ponies to curious chickens, alpacas, llamas, and even reindeer!

  • Watch the animals roam, graze, and interact — look out for their playful personalities and unique features.
  • Listen to gentle brays, clucks, neighs, and hums echoing through the barn — each animal has its own voice!
  • Breathe in the earthy scents of straw, hay, and the natural smell of our working barn.
  • Stroke soft fur, brush gentle manes, and feel the different textures of feathers, wool, and coats as you feed and pet the animals.
    Animal Interaction Feed & Pet Friendly Sensory-Rich Experience All Ages Welcome
Feeding time is around 4:30pm - expect more movement, sounds, and activity!
