Close, Managed Animal Interactions
The visit centers on time inside an animal enclosure where guests interact directly with farm animals; hay is provided as part of the visit to facilitate those moments.
Campfire, S'mores and a Hot Drink
A campfire gathering is included in the two-hour visit, complete with S'mores and a warm beverage—an intentional pairing of food, heat and winter light to bookend the animal interactions.
