There’s A Kangaroo Farm In Iowa And You’re Going To Love It

There are thousands of farms in Iowa, and each one is home to something special, whether that be a favorite family heirloom, antique tractors and equipment, historic lands, or kangaroos. Wait - what? Turns out there is a kangaroo farm in Iowa, and it's part of an amazing family-owned dairy farm that's open for tours!

Hansen's Dairy is a family-owned farm out in Hudson, Iowa, that has been operating since 1864.

Visitors come out to Hudson for an amazing, one-of-a-kind hands on tour that shows off a glimpse of daily dairy life.

As part of the tour, visitors get to feed calves, milk cows, tour the production facility, and hang out with the Hansen Kangaroos!

Larry, Scooter, Rocket, Pogo and the rest of the herd can't wait to meet you. Blake Hansen loved Kangaroos so much that he built this habitat for them, and imported them to share with all of Iowa!

These spoiled kangaroos spend their days relaxing in the shady, sprawling dairy farm they call home.

Visitors who come to tour the dairy can get up close to the roos, and these guys really love treats and snacks!

You'll also get to feed the farm's goats on your once-in-a-lifetime tour.

As if hanging out with Kangaroos wasn't cool enough, you'll end your tour by making your own butter, sampling ice cream and snacking on super fresh cheese curds.

What are you waiting for? Plan your trip out to the Hansen Dairy and the only Kangaroo Farm in Iowa!
