Barn & Garden

Welcome to the barnyard! Sheep, goats, alpacas and miniature horses are some of the friendly animals you’ll find here. Beside the barn, a picturesque garden with a waterfall, wooden bridge, and pond attracts local ducks and butterflies.

What To See and Do

Feed a llama a snack.
Alpacas, goats, sheep, and other peckish critters step right up to enjoy a mouthful of grain from your outstretched hand.

Try your hand at milking one of our Daisy Milker model cows. Each station comes equipped with a stool and a bucket!
