All of the deer are raised here from birth, so they're well-accustomed to human interaction. Other animals like alpacas, llamas, a kissing camel, and a zedonkey are just as friendly.

Children of all ages have a blast interacting with these gentle creatures. Few zoos allow hands-on interaction with so many different animals, making this is a rare opportunity to learn about nature and its inhabitants.

Deer food can be purchased at several stations throughout the grounds, but beware - the clever critters will swarm you to get the first bite! They wouldn't hurt a fly, so I guess being surrounded by so much cuteness isn't such a bad thing.
