Spend 90 minutes meeting and leading alpacas and llamas at the base of Jenny Jump State Park. This hands-on family activity blends animal handling, fleece education, and a gentle guided walk through pastureland.
You step out of the car into a field rimmed by the low ridgeline of Jenny Jump and the land exhales — a cool brook threads through the pasture, daring you to slow down. A small herd lifts their heads; alpacas watch with soft curiosity, llamas stand taller and patient like guardians of the paddock. The guide hands you a handful of pellets and explains how fleece, posture and herd behavior differ: alpacas are social and tactile, llamas deliberate and sure-footed.

This stretch of Warren County sits on the rolling, glacially influenced uplands of northwestern New Jersey. Indigenous people and early colonial farmers shaped the same parcels that now host fiber animals and family farms; the South American origins of alpacas and llamas bring an ecological contrast to local pastures and a modern cultural interest in sustainable fiber.
Expect a 90-minute experience: an introductory meet-and-greet, a short talk on fleece and handling, then a guided walk where participants over five lead an animal around fenced grazing lanes. The terrain is flat to gently sloping pasture with soft grass underfoot and a few mud patches after rain; much of the site is accessible for strollers and mobility aids. Guides demonstrate safe feeding, halter use and how to read animal signals.
Practical: wear closed-toe shoes, bring a refillable water bottle, and dress for the weather — wind on the ridge can be cooler. Arrive 10–15 minutes early for a quick orientation; the ranch closes or reschedules in heavy rain. Come ready to interact calmly, keep sudden movements low, and collect a handful of fleece knowledge to take home.
