Petting Zoo

A petting zoo is a controlled environment where visitors can interact directly with tame farm animals such as goats, sheep, rabbits, and chickens. It provides an educational and recreational experience, allowing people—especially children—to safely observe and sometimes touch or feed the animals. Petting zoos are designed with safety and animal well-being in mind, often featuring enclosures that prevent animals from escaping while enabling close-up contact. They serve as a fun, hands-on way to learn about farm life, animal behavior, and the importance of kindness and respect toward animals.
