One of the best things we did on our trip to the Poconos was go to this little snake and animal farm. The brochure stated that you can feed and pet the animals.......which included lemurs, monkeys, pigs, goats and a black bear. Well that sounded interesting....and it was.
The monkeys and the bear have these tubes where you drop the food into and it goes to them in their cage and let me tell you they know where that food is going to fall. The monkeys were hilarious...the one "Fred" would bang the glass to get you to feed him. The lemurs are in large cages where you can throw the food into them from a catwalk by the cages. Matt kept calling the one lemur "King Julian". The poor black bear.....we didn't plan on feeding him but when we saw him sitting by his food tube and giving us that sad "please feed me" look we headed back into the store to buy him his treats.
The best part of the feeding experience was feeding bottles of milk to the pigs and goats. Emily made sure that all of them got a little bit of milk. Matt fed one or two but spent most of his time talking to the animals.
This was so much better than a zoo.....you got to be so close to the animals (which included a bobcat and puma), see a ton of snakes, alligators and they had a bunny and guinea pigs that you could pet.
Emily and Matt would have stayed there all day if they could have.....so great!!!
