When it comes to the benefits of interacting with animals, there are plenty to choose from. Here are just a few of the benefits that you can enjoy when you take the time to interact with the animals at Braided Acres Petting Farm:

Get Active

Interacting with our animals is a great family activity to get the kids off of their rumps and back into the wild – where all kids belong.

Relieve Stress

When you pet an animal or spend time playing with them, it can help to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body. This can lead to feeling more relaxed and even lower blood pressure.

Be Involved

Caring for an animal can save you from feeling cold by making you feel more connected to your community, as well as giving you a sense of responsibility and purpose.

One of the best things about Braided Acres is that all of our animals are well-trained and accustomed to being around people. This means that you can get up close and personal with your favorite furry (or scaly) friends without having to worry about them getting scared or aggressive.
