royal oaks alpacas

I was on a road trip with my two kiddos ages 2 and 5. I wanted a fun rest stop and took us slightly out the way to stop here. Their family story on their website was touching and I liked the idea of a small family owned spot where my little ones could see the animals up close. I had never been around alpacas and we learned lots! This is literally a family's home and backyard as described on their site. They were incredibly kind and interesting. We hope to visit again in the future. I was glad I had extra cash as they have a small workshop with little alpaca toys and alpaca yarn for sale. Call first to make sure they will be around.

We were very pleasantly surprised with our morning visit to Royal Oaks Alpacas. The alpaca farm is clean and the animals are cared for very well. We got to pet them and go in the pen with the females and babies. The owners of the farm told us all about their story of obtaining the alpacas and how to care for them. Go to the Royal Oaks Alpacas website for lots of information. I took over 350 pictures in less than 1 1/2 hours... and would have taken more if my camera battery hadn't died. The animals are very photogenic. If you are an animal lover and like to spend time learning about animals... this is a great place. And... surprisingly, the alpacas don't smell bad!
