The Heritage Park Petting Farm offers a hands-on experience for the young or just young at heart in a unique park atmosphere. A knowledgeable staff is on hand to assist and make your visit a memorable one. Children, wearing proper footwear (gym shoes or boots), can walk around the stalls of the goats, sheep and piglets. The farm is open year round and each season brings interesting changes. The barn is heated to provide warmth for our guests and animals. |
