Located in Rapid City, Old MacDonald's Farm is open for the season and is every bit as magical as you can imagine.

Your eyes do not deceive you: that is, in fact, a goat bridge.
Open May through October, Old MacDonald's Farm is home to 100 farm animals and a "clean, relaxed hands-on environment" where guests can come in and pet, feed, and even ride some of the four-legged residents!

Whether you have an affinity for goats (big and small), horses, emu, donkeys, sheep, chickens, pigs, or all of the above, you will find them (and much more) at the Farm.
