Its animal areas include petting zoo barns, with goats, sheep, cows, pigs, deer, llamas, emus and a tortoise. Other features include pony rides, train rides, a duck pond, a hay barn and playgrounds. Fort Apache, an Indian Village, a sand hill and tetherball add more places to explore around the grounds.
