One of the farmers in Varysburg (near Attica) started acquiring animals from different continents. Eventually he turned part of his farm into a wildlife adventure. He also built a beautiful lodge overlooking a pond that has a restaurant, snack bar, grill area, and souvenir shop. The lodge can be rented for weddings, receptions, etc. For the animal adventure, you get on a covered wagon pulled by a tractor. There’s a narrator on board who describes the animals you’re seeing as you drive through different pastures. The pics show a few of the animals we saw. All the animals are grazers – no carnivores like lions or tigers – so it’s safe to ride an open wagon. It’s a great place to take little kids because they can get up close with the animals and you get a cup of food to feed the animals at designated areas. One little two year old was so excited at each new animal she saw that she just hooted and hollered. The animals come right up to the wagon at times so you can touch them. We took the tour with Mom and Dad and had a great time.
