My friend took me on the best birthday adventure at Bambi's Mini Petting Farm. It was a surprise…read moreand when we pulled up I saw goats, sheep, donkeys and highland cows. I can't think of anything that is more fun than spending an hour with two different capybara babies. Mango and Kiwi. On the way in we petted the camels. They came right up to the fence and stuck their large heads out. They were seeking attention because they very used to being petted. We were startled when one made a loud guttural braying sound. The owner explained they were letting us know they want carrots. We had about 20-25 minutes with each capybara so all together the encounter was an hour. We got a plate of raw sweet potato sticks and romaine lettuce leaves to feed each animal. They were about 4 months old and Mango the male will be about 140 pounds full grown and Kiwi was the runt of a different litter and is expected to be approximately 90 pounds when full grown which is a very small capybara. It was just my friend and me so we spent time petting and feeding them. They love water so their coat was smooth but fur like a beaver. They are in the same family as guinea pigs so they make a similar sound. They have leathery pads on the bottom of their back legs because they can kick like a kangaroo. They like being scratched under their chin and relax so much they fall over and then are disoriented about what just happened. Hilarious. Bambi's Mini Petting Farm has several different types of animal encounters including baby doll sheep and two miniature cows. They had three goats which were having kids the following weekend and you can either tour the farm or select to bottle feed the baby goats. They have plans for a holiday tour and are getting a sloth. Check out their Facebook page for events.

(Only for children under 40ish lbs.). Don't expect an elaborate set up. This has been put together by the property owner to help shelter a variety of different animals. (Think someone's very large back yard..) We fed and interacted with goats, ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, pigs, llamas, turkeys, peacocks, horses, and a donkey. We spent roughly 1-1.5 hrs there and the owner gave the kids popsicles before leaving. The kids and I had a great time and it was such an easy excursion. All in all money well spent and for a great cause. Tip- you pull into a dirt driveway. Forget about bringing your sports car. You'll bottom out at the entrance. Any regular car is fine.

The drive was a little ways from Orlando but worth every mile. I really enjoyed feeding the goats and cuddling them. There is limited bottle feeding so make sure to book early on the website and bring cash if you want to purchase additional feed as I lost cell service. The young ladies here were the sweetest, very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I'm convinced that a couple baby goats are definitely in my future.

My 2 year old loved it and recently saw some pics of the experience and told me she wants to go again. I also enjoyed it a lot as I got to pick up some chickens and pet them. Fed a cow, chickens and goats. Saw bunnies, chicks, turkeys and pigs. While the experience was about an hour for us, they do let you know that it might be a bit more or less depending on engagement with the animals. Visit requires a donation, but they don't ask for a specific amount. You have to contact them via facebook and schedule the visit. It was pretty easy for us to schedule it. Owner is very responsive and was so awesome with my little girl when we visited. Definitely want to visit again!

Many were purchased as household pets and, when the owner realized that most exotic pets are not a great idea, needed a new home. You can tell how much this facility loves their animals. This is open only for private tours which is easy to book on their website. I highly recommend a visit to this facility. Of course the high point is petting Penelope the capybara, PJ doesn't much like people as well as petting sloths. But there are also farm animals, Wilbur the pig, goats a donkey, alpaca that you can interact with. They do note that if the animals do not want to interact, they will not force interaction. This shows to me that they are here for animals first and humans to educate. Always beware of any place that will force animal interaction with humans, as it can be very stressful to them. We loved our time and would love to come back again.

The best part, they gave us an in-depth tour of the farms after and we got to see other cute animals. If you're looking for a unique activity to do in Orlando, def book with them!!
