Lovely family. Had a safety check how to handle the Alapacas and was able to walk them for 60 min or so. Loved Pops and. Colombus (Mr C) the Alapacas. Highly recommend a visit, we booked in advance. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487b09757656ea83:0x719a19c11959270c!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this alpaca farm offers a fantastic experience, including meeting, feeding, and walking the alpacas, and highlights the clean facilities.
