If you’re interested in alpacas, New Jersey has got you covered. We have several, located throughout the state, but today I am featuring one of the standouts. It’s easy to spend hours here, and so much fun for the whole family. There are multiple opportunities to interact with the adorable alpacas, and you’re going to love the atmosphere!

Highland Airs Alpaca Ranch is located on 30 beautiful acres in Hackettstown, New Jersey.

Visitors can take tours to meet the alpacas, and learn more about their lives. What I've learned so far? Alpacas love cuddles (once they get to know you, and sometimes right away!) and kiddos. (They love adults, too!) Fun fact: they don't enjoy being pet on the head like dogs or cats — pet them below their jawbone or down their neck. If you want to feed the alpacas, grain is available. That may up your odds of a snuggle.
