I'd driven past this farm many times and thought it might be a bit silly to go without some kids in tow, but decided to go anyway! I visited Lionel's Petting Zoo with a fellow animal-lover last summer and it was the best! The woman at the booth helped us cut up the carrots we'd brought, and we also bought some of the pellet food. The animals were pretty friendly and it wasn't very stinky at all. The place isn't very big but there were definitely more beasts than I expected. It took us about an hour to go through, taking our time at each enclosure. Except for finding out that we were too being too big for the pony rides, we had a very enjoyable morning. Totally worth the $2 admission fee. I recommend going early in the day to beat the rush :)
