Fills in time

Visited and access was good. Some exhibits are up steps or raised and unable to see if in a wheelchair. Outside wheelchairs cannot go on the train but can on the tractor trailer. Fairly flat area with only a couple of medium hills. Disabled toilets through the site. Large play park but nothing really for disabled visitors that I could see. Feeding alpacas involves putting hands through metal square fencing that, in my opinion, isn’t very safe; can lean over fence if and adult and able to stand.

Family Fun for Everyone

This is a really great place to visit for all the family. There is so much to do that there was no way we could fit it all in in one day. There are activities in door and out so the weather doesn't really matter. We loved visiting the farm animals - some gorgeous babies when we visited and we were just in time for my kids to play in the new play area.
