About This Adventure

Al-Pac-A-Goat: $20 savings when you combine our two signature animal experiences

The ultimate day at the farm with our two most popular animal experiences. Get ready to laugh, cuddle, explore, connect, and create memories.

Signature Haute Goat Shmurgle Experience (approx. 1 hour)

Welcome to the Goat Shmurgle—an enchanting hour-long animal experience that combines the best of nature, adorable goats, and pure joy. We begin by taking our goats out into the open fields, try not to smile as their tails wiggle with excitement. Become a goat herder and help us get them into the Goat Playground where the second half of your experience begins! Watch our older goats snooze, the youngsters play, babies bounce (seasonal), a perfect blend of serenity and chaos. Snuggle, give scratches, take photos, and simply enjoy the company of our incredible Nigerian Dwarf Goats.

Whether you’re an animal lover, needing a de-stressor, or simply seeking a unique experience, The Goat Shmurgle promises laughter, connection and a touch of whimsy. Book your spot today, and let the goats show you the meaning of “SHMURGLE”.

Signature Alpaca Knuffel Shuffle Experience (approx. 1 hour)

Alpacas are known to be shy, curious, sensitive, and of course super cute. With a calm nature and a bit of trust you can easily win them over to feel their luxurious fiber and sneak a hug. Our guides will introduce you to the herd, tell you a bit about their personalities and decide who we think will get along the best! Are you confident like Feather? Shy like Anakin? A singer like Jerrica? A troublemaker like Obi? After learning a bit about what makes these animals so unique, we’ll halter them up and be on our way! In most cases an Alpaca will be shared between two people- perfect for photo ops! Rediscover a connection with nature while hiking with your Alpaca through our fields. Once we get back to their paddock, we’ll teach you how to get the perfect Alpaca-selfie, P.S - Shadow is the reigning Queen of the Selfie.

Both experiences run year-round, and in all weather (yes, even snow!!). In the case of rain, we will make adjustments to ensure the comfort of the Goats, Alpacas are happy in all weather!
