On a sun-bright spring morning at 3620 Rosinburg Rd in Zebulon, North Carolina, a working family farm opens its gates for an hour-to-hour celebration of curiosity and animal affection. Easter Bunny plus Animal Encounters! is a hands-on farm experience running 10:00–2:30 where families move station to station through a big red barn and pasture, meeting named residents and trying activities like gem mining and crafts. The rhythm here is tactile: feed the cows—Milkshake, Jojo, Bull Dozer and Maggie Moo—watch Abe the donkey deliver his comical hee-haws, and scratch behind the ears of Shetland pony Gus. Adult Nigerian Dwarf goats such as Peanut Butter and S’more will beg for attention, while baby goats and bunnies offer quiet, fluffy moments for small hands.
This is more than a petting zoo. The farm’s layout guides guests through animal-focused learning—how to approach a pig, what a horse’s grooming needs are, and the seasonal habits of chickens—while giving children time to play on a modest playground and parents a chance to photograph real farm life. Peppa and her daughter Rosemary, two potbelly pigs, and newcomer Pua add personality to pig-feeding; the chicken feeding is scheduled mid-day so visitors can witness a chore replicated from daily farm routines.
Practical details are simple and family-oriented: advance-purchase tickets are suggested, the Easter Bunny appears between 10:00 and 2:00 with occasional breaks, and the farm recommends a station-by-station flow so animals aren’t overwhelmed. Gem mining and table crafts are optional extras that extend a visit beyond animal interactions, turning a basic hour into a half-day memory.
What makes this place stand out in the greater Wake County recreation scene is its tangible mixture of education and play—names on halters, repeated feedings, and the chance to groom a pony create continuity between visitor and animal. It's a place where local agricultural life is visible and approachable for urban families seeking a grounded rural day trip. Conservation here is low-tech but real: supervised feeding prevents overhandling and the station format reduces stress for the animals.
For anyone traveling through Zebulon, this is an easy family stop that blends tactile learning with small-farm charm. Whether you're coaxing a goat to nibble from your palm or watching a child light up holding a soft bunny, Easter Bunny plus Animal Encounters! offers straightforward, memorable access to farm life at 3620 Rosinburg Rd Zebulon, NC 27597.
