The Farm at Lee Martinez Park in Fort Collins is going to be able to provide you with the perfect opportunity for your kids to be entertained for hours at a time. Located on the site of an old dairy farm that ran between the 1920’s to the 1960’s, their aim is to keep the farming heritage alive by creating this opportunity for families to get up close and personal to the animals that formed such an integral part of farming life.
Busiest during the spring and summer, the farm is home to a number of animals including pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, cows and horses. Also, you never know when some new arrivals will appear at the farm, and with you being able to get so close to them, then there is no doubt that you and your children will be able to develop a newly found understanding and appreciation of the animals and what they provide to the farm.
As well as just looking at them, you can pay a bit extra in order to be able to feed the adult animals which just provides you with a completely different experience. Of course, if that doesn’t appeal to you, then there is also the possibility of just getting the admission ticket and taking your time to walk around the farm and get to know the animals themselves.
You will also discover that there are various events that occur throughout the year with the intention of helping to further educate people on the animals and the workings of the farm. This can also result in the children being able to take part in some chores that will help the farm in general while also providing them with just a general fun thing to do.
So, if your children love animals and would be excited at the prospect of getting closer to them and learning more, then the Farm at Lee Martinez Park is certainly a wonderful place for you to check out. The admission fee is low, and the entire atmosphere is very friendly indeed, and with the way in which education is at the absolute forefront of what they are doing, this could easily become a wonderful way to spend a few hours for the entire family.
