Take A Ranch Tour At Alpacaland In Montana For An Adorable Experience

Alpacas are very useful creatures, providing us with fibers for all kinds of woven clothing and accessories. They also happen to be incredibly adorable. And if you're lucky enough to live near Sentinel Ranch in Montana, you take a tour to see for yourself — and the experience includes hand-feeding the alpacas.

Sentinel Ranch, otherwise known is AlpacaLand, is located in Belgrade.

The ranch is open and in operation year-round.

These darling alpacas provide luxurious fibers for clothing, toys, gloves, socks, rugs, yarn, and so much more.

And you can shop for whatever you need at the onsite shop.

The tours present an opportunity to truly interact with the alpacas.

Along with learning about how they live and what they're used for, you'll be able to pet them, hand-feed them, and take as many photos as you'd like.

While a large group tour costs $50, you and your family can arrange an alpaca ranch tour for free.

All you have to do is call 406-577-4310 to arrange it. Remember, this is a small family-owned ranch, so you'll want to give plenty of notice.

While you're here, check out the AlpacaLand shop.

You just might find your next favorite scarf, stuffed animal, or pair of socks.

Occasionally, AlpacaLand even hosts classes that will show you how to make treasures like this.

Ask about them when you visit the ranch.

Sentinel Ranch is open for both shopping and tours Monday through Saturday, although hours vary.

Just call ahead and make an arrangement so you know they'll be ready to welcome you.
