You can see lots of different animals such as fallow deer, a llama, donkeys, goats and a variety of birds such as ducks, geese, peacocks, pheasants, chickens and turkeys.
It is open year-round as some of the animals love being outside in the winter. Hundreds of tourists visit the animals every year and bring them treats such as corn and carrots.
