The One North Carolina Ranch Where You Can Feed Lemurs And Capybaras

Sometimes the love we get at an animal encounter in North Carolina can make a big difference in our day. Darby Acres Farm and Darby Safari are in separate locations in Charlotte offering guided tours. Visit these sweet creatures, feed them, and allow them to tug at your heartstrings. Laughing is guaranteed at this North Carolina ranch.

When you pull into the farm, expect to be greeted by the enthusiastic residents who await your loving attention.

Every visitor must sign a liability waiver before they visit the farm.

On the hour-long, guided Farm Friends Walking Tour, you may encounter ducks, cows, goats, horses, water buffalos, sheep, pigs, donkeys, llamas, alpacas, and many others.

Some of the animals are very familiar exhibiting their charm in fantastic ways.

We also like the idea of seeing new faces.

And so do they.

The Safari Friends Walking Tour is also an hour-long, guided tour showcasing the more exotic types of creatures.

Animals you get to feed on the tour may include foxes, goats, wallabies, zebras, lemurs, camels, kangaroos, emus, porcupines, and many others. The Capybara is a rodent native to South America.

After he eats, you may find him in a cool bath on these scorching hot days.

The little babies are around too at this animal encounter in North Carolina.

And when they're born - go see them before they grow up, because time passes by so quickly.

For a more intense visit, the Kit and Caboodle experience includes a two-and-a-half-hour guided tour, a feed bucket, and up-close encounters with at least 10 exotic animals.

Tours can be booked online.
