Callie and the team at CTC are incredible! I have been working with their organization for almost…read more10 years in various roles and am continuously impressed with their willingness to serve others through Animal Assisted Therapy. This past summer I brought two of our summer camps to the new CTC location. Callie and her team worked with me to establish goals for each participant, discussed accessibility and put together therapeutic day for our participants. It was the first time that CTC has hosted our camps in their own facility. The space worked well for our group where many of our participants utilize a variety of assistive devices (wheelchairs, walkers, etc.) The new space with allow for more innovative programming and I am excited to see how the space/programs continue to develop.

My husband is an animal lover so I surprised him and my kids with a visit to Cuddle Bunny. It was a…read moresoothing, quiet hour of bunny love. So therapeutic. All of the bunnies are very loving. They were comfortable around us and they were curious to get to know new friends. They seemed to be taken care of and loved VERY WELL!! Some were free to explore while others were in their enclosures. The enclosures have info cards of the bunnies you were visiting with. It was cool to learn facts about each bunny. The space is very clean, has a serene vibe and it will take away any stress. We were welcomed warmly and given instructions. We wash our hands first and throughout the hour we rotate so each group has a chance to visit every enclosure and spend time with all of the bunnies. The gift shop is full of bunny things, very cute. I recommend Cuddle Bunny. It was a new experience for us and we're definitely going back. 5 stars.

Got to hold and cuddle the baby goats and pet the bigger ones. It was definitely therapy. One little goat climbed on my back and was very comfortable there, so we had a lot of laughs also. The host and his daughter were very welcoming. In addition to goats on the farm are free-roaming chickens and turkeys. There was also a donkey and a couple of horses. It was clear these animals are well loved and enjoy human interaction. Would recommend to any animal lover.

I had been wanting to do this FOR YEARS and never got around to it. Finally, a few months ago, I…read moredid it. I saw a Facebook ad for a combination goat hang out and brewery flight (via the Fever app "Brews and Baahhs"). My two favorite things!! (ha ha) So I bought the tickets and was not disappointed. It was one-hour with the goats, then you went to One Lake Brewing down the street afterward for a free flight (and we ended up buying dinner). The owner, David, was there and chit-chatted and answered some questions. Then did a few things around the property while we just hung out and petted the goats. I have never had such an up close and personal experience with a goat. They are a lot like dogs. They were hilarious and very affectionate. They wanted to climb all over us but we were prepared for that. It's a shame that David mentioned they might only be doing this for a year or two more. I'm sure it's a lot to maintain, especially during these crazy times. -But it's very covid safe. For what we did, you can wear your mask and you are left alone with the goats in a huge open pasture - so it's not a people-crowded event. I highly recommend it - it was a lot of fun. In case the number is not on the profile - he gave me a card with contact info: 847-226-9510; glennartfarm.com for more info.

Goat yoga has been on my bucket list for some time. I stumbled upon Glennart Farms in an email and…read morestarted to read up on their urban farm. This is in the Austin neighborhood right next to Oak Park. I never realized I lived 10 minutes away from an urban farm my entire life! The chicken coops are at this address and then the yoga is down the alley in a field right by the firehouse. You can't miss it! They have the area fenced in with 20+ goats! I adore all animals and heard that goat yoga is a great way to relax and rid anxiety. I was fully present and in the moment when I was surrounded by these adorable goats. I will definitely recommend this to everyone who has never done goat yoga before. This was a more affordable option too! Usually if you go to goat yoga in the city tickets are around 50 dollars this is closer to 26 bucks! Not bad. Such a great time. David and Carolyn seem like the really take great care of their goats. David was telling me how a mother goat rejected her baby goat and they had to bottle feed the goat every four hours! They name the goats really cute names and tell you about their life and temperament. I wanted to take one home with me! They were clean and lovable. I will definitely come back :) NaaaaaAaamaste ‍
