Henry's ark - weekend visit

Last weekend was unusually sunny (although still cold and windy) so we decided to visit "Henry's Ark" in Prospect. As its winter, we had not expected to see many animals here(although it mentions on the facebook that its open all year round!). We were taken by surprise on seeing a vast farm full of animals along with some of the exotic animals (that you would not expect to see here) like emu, llama, zebra, deer, bison and ostrich.

"Henry's ark" is an open farm with farm animals as well as others mentioned above. And the best part is that it is free and operates on donations from the visitors. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the place had less than 15 visitors while the time we were there. On this farm you can even bring food (carrots, lettuce and grains) to feed the animals.

The animal collection includes: Water buffalo, chickens, donkey, ducks, elks, llamas, goats, sheep, pygmy goats, peacocks, peahens, camel, ostrich, bunnies, geese, turkey, zebra, bison, cow, cat.





My kids loved this place and we are looking forward to visit this farm again to feed the animals.
