Petting Zoos and Farm Animals Near Me
Goats, sheep, alpacas and barn cats. The attraction that reliably holds a three-year-old's attention longer than the pumpkins do.
For families with toddlers and preschoolers, an animal barn is often worth more than every other attraction on the farm combined. Most are included with admission; feed cups usually cost a dollar or two.
Two things worth knowing. Hand-washing stations are required at well-run farms and are worth using properly — animal contact areas are a recognised source of E. coli and salmonella exposure in young children. And strollers are frequently not permitted inside animal enclosures, so plan for carrying.
