I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
If you’ve ever wanted to interact with a sweet, friendly alpaca, make your way to Magic Meadows Alpacas, a working alpaca farm located just outside of Chicago. Raising Suri alpacas, Magic Meadows offers tours, photoshoots, and yoga, all with these gentle creatures.
Magic Meadows Alpacas is an alpaca farm located in Wonder Lake, an unincorporated village in McHenry County. After visiting this farm, you'll find the alpacas to be, in a word, magical!
Farm tours must be arranged ahead of time and cost $8 per person, while children aged five and under are free. You'll get to learn all about the alpacas and even have a chance to feel their super soft fleece!
The owners of Magic Meadows raise Suri alpacas, which are one of two breeds of the alpaca. They are sheered for their soft, silky fiber which is then spun into yarn or made into roving.
The farm also works with a yoga instructor who teaches "Yogapaca," yoga with alpacas, at the farm. It's certainly a fun alternative to a regular yoga class! Check the website and Facebook page for any upcoming classes.
