When we were there, the weather was dire, but thankfully there are many buildings to hide in while waiting for rain to subside.
Hence, we spent a lot of time in the Tractor School, Adventure Barn, Discovery Barn and the Animal Barn.
You can pet many animals and watch them go about in their everyday life.
We were also fortunate enough to meet some of the cutest residents.
The bunnies are placed on planks to go on your lap if you’re in need of scratching-an-animal therapy.
You can also purchase food for the animals.
The animals expect you to have food on you. You can totally see this as they approach you and start to beg.
