Every once in a while, social media serves you something so ridiculous that there's only one…read morereasonable response. "Yep. I'm doing that." So when Destiny Dairy Bar showed up on my feed talking about "come snuggle piglets for $25!" there was no internal debate. No hesitation. No weighing the pros and cons. I immediately booked a Piglet Snuggle Session. Honestly...I don't think I've ever typed my credit card number faster. Booking online was incredibly easy, and from the moment I reserved my spot, Destiny Dairy Bar knocked the customer service out of the park. They sent multiple emails leading up to my appointment explaining exactly what to expect, reminding me about my reservation and providing the required waiver ahead of time so there weren't any surprises when I arrived. Five stars before I even touched a pig! I arrived about 15 minutes early and checked in at the farm store. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. They encouraged me to wander around the property until my session started, which turned out to be a great suggestion. There were goats. Cows. Adult pigs. A donkey named Pamela. And plenty of opportunities to wander around smiling at animals living their best lives. When it was time for my session, everything started right on schedule. My farm guide explained how to safely hold the piglets and then basically said..."Have fun!" Don't mind if I do! The best part? I wasn't rushed at all! I had the opportunity to hold any of the piglets I wanted but settled in with the tiniest little guy of the bunch. Three and a half pounds. Curled up in my arms. Completely asleep. For most of the twenty-minute session. I don't know if he chose me...or if I chose him...but we were best friends by the end. The staff member even offered to take photos for me, which I appreciated so much since I was visiting on my own. Instead of trying to awkwardly balance a piglet while taking selfies, I was able to simply enjoy the experience and leave with wonderful memories! PRO TIP: Arrive a little early so you have time to explore the rest of the property. The piglets may be the headline attraction, but they're definitely not the only adorable residents you'll meet. At $25 per group (up to four people), I honestly think this is one of the best values for a unique experience you'll find anywhere. Whether you're bringing kids, your partner or just embracing your inner animal lover like I did, it's twenty minutes of pure joy! Now...I do have one confession. After I got home...I may or may not have Googled plans for building a piglet house. I'm not saying I'm getting a pet pig. I'm just saying...the research has begun. Until then, I'll happily keep coming back to Destiny Dairy Bar whenever I need a piglet fix!

When planning your drive to the Petting Zoo and using GPS, be aware that several bridges appear to…read morebe closed indefinitely in the area. The road that ended up being open has a building with the address of 1722 Schwaben Creek Rd, Rebuck, PA 17867, and there were some small signs also posted. Be aware, that this road is a narrow farm lane, so do not bring a vehicle with low clearance. Follow the road and signs until you get to the admission hut and pay to enter. Get the larger bucket of animal feed when you pay to enter, you'll need it for at least the wagon ride. Animals in the Petting Zoo portion included goats, sheep, a baby camel, and a miniature horse. You can feed the ostrich's and peacocks roam around. There are also camel dies for an additional fee. To me the wagon ride was the MVP of the experience and why you need the larger bucket of feed. They take you into the gated areas of the park and stop several times to allow for feeding of the deer, goats, pigs, and big cows. After the ride, it's a short walk to visit the camels and donkeys, which you can also feed. There is also a small picnic area, kids' playground equipment, portable toilets, and hand washing stations available. If you do need to ask any questions, call ahead as they do respond quickly, but don't actively monitor their Facebook messages. Overall, this is a solid outing for kids, families, and people who love animals.

I had a great time visiting Lake Tobias for the first time with my family. The animals and overall…read moreexperience were wonderful, and my children really enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately, we had a rude interaction with staff that took away from what could have been an even better experience. The encounter happened in the reptile area, specifically with the staff member handling the baby alligator. He instructed everyone who wanted to pet the alligator not to touch its head or body and to only touch the tail. My 6-year-old son, who was simply curious and genuinely interested in learning, asked why he couldn't touch those areas. Rather than taking the opportunity to educate a curious child, the staff member responded, "Because I said so." As a parent, I found that response disappointing. One of the wonderful things about places like Lake Tobias is that they provide children with an opportunity to learn about animals and nature. A simple explanation such as, "We don't touch those areas because the alligator could become scared or react defensively," would have answered my son's question while turning the moment into a learning experience. While we had a great time overall, I hope management considers providing additional training on customer service and, especially, how staff interact with children and families. A little patience, kindness, and education can make a huge difference in a family's experience.

In this instance, we were on the hunt for apple cider donuts. We found the donuts (delicious!) and a whole lot more.

There are apparently pick your own opportunities as well. Parking is plentiful and Mt Airy is well-staffed with a very friendly team of folks. The farm store is immaculate. Note that Mt Airy is in a very rural area off winding, narrow roads. Pay attention to your GPS and drive carefully. Highly recommend this York County gem.
