Maplewood Farm

TIME : 2016/2/19 4:01:08

A popular family-friendly site, this farmyard attraction includes plenty of hands-on displays plus a collection of more than 200 domestic animals. Your wide-eyed kids can pet some critters, watch the milking demonstration and feed some squawking, ever-hungry ducks and chickens. The highlight is the daily (around 3:30pm) 'running of the goats,' when starving hairballs streak from the paddock to their barn for dinner.

The top 'extra,' though, is the behind-the-scenes tour where your sprogs can learn what it's like to be farmer, from grooming (the animals, not the kids) to egg collecting and getting the feed ready. Book ahead: these hour-long tours are popular.
