Planning a day trip can prove challenging, especially when everyone in the family has different interests, right? Arguably, one thing most people can agree on is just how much fun it is to hang out with animals. Animals, after all, always seem so happy to see us. Next time you’re trying to figure out a fun day trip the whole family will love, set off for WestPark Alpaca Farm near Pittsburgh.
Meet a furry flock of alpacas - and other friendly animals - at WestPark Alpacas in Slippery Rock, just under an hour from downtown Pittsburgh.
The alpacas at the 22-acre farm will probably be just as curious about you as you are about them. If you really want to become friends with the alpacas, pull out those crackers you brought along.
That's right. You can pet, chat with, and even feed the alpacas. (As anyone who loves animals knows, of course, the key to winning a furry one's heart is with delicious treats.)
Chickens, ducks, sheep, a goat, and even peacocks. Make sure you have your camera or smartphone, as you won't want to miss the many opportunities for adorable photos.
