Get your wiggles out in the Kids Korral play area where kids will find a giant gunny sack slide, swings, elevated fort, natural stump jump and plenty of space for running and exploring.

Spend some quiet time getting to know our petting zoo animals. We’ve always got goats, sheep, pot belly pigs and loads of peacocks, but in Spring, you might catch a glimpse of baby pigs or tottering lambs!

Enjoy the education station where we discover some of the mysteries behind bees and their habits. Afterwards, students will have a chance to plant a small cup-sized wildflower garden, to take home and observe the changes from seed to flower.

At the end of our visit, students can take home a honey straw.
