There are animals to pet like cows, pigs and sheep. There are horses and a barn with benches and animal food dispensers. There are also rescued animals to marvel at such as bears, foxes and birds. They have a Japanese garden and a waterfall as well as an small indoor aquarium and cafe. It is a favorite destination for kids as well as adults. You can have picnics on the grass and make a whole day of it. Everything is free but you can choose to make a donation, which I recommend since that is how they keep up with all these wonderful activities.
