Kids, families, and animal lovers of all ages are invited to spend time among some of the cutest baby animals around: baby goats, sheep, bunnies and chicks. Bowls of food are available to feed the animals, and trained handlers are ready to help you hold them. It’s a great opportunity for kids to get up close and personal with the delicate joys of spring, and the adorable photo ops are endless. The animals are enclosed under a large tent, so visitors can enjoy them rain or shine.
