Petting Farm
Barnyard Friends is a hands-on petting farm where kids and grown-ups alike can meet a variety of goats, sheep, pigs, miniature cattle, alpacas, and a miniature horse and donkey. Feed and cuddle with all the adorable friendly animals!
All Creatures educational displays are a hit with all ages but are specifically designed for youngsters to get a little taste of farm life.
- Life-size wooden dairy cattle have working bucket udders where kids can try their hands at milking, surprisingly realistic!
- Gather eggs and put them in baskets then place in egg cartons.
- Try your hand at sheep shearing!
- Or, learn about all the by-products that come from the beef industry.
The Petting Farm and the Barnyard Races are located inside the Family Fun Camp area.
