This Baby Animal Festival In Utah Is The Sweetest Thing You’ll See All Spring

Spring is in the air! The grass is getting greener, the trees are starting to get their buds, and soon we'll see flowers blooming all around. Our other favorite part of spring? Baby animals, of course! There's no better place to be than a ranch in the springtime, and Cross E Ranch hosts a Baby Animal Festival so you can see (and even pet) some of them.

It's springtime at Cross E Ranch, and that means it's time for the Baby Animal Festival. This year the festival will run from April 5th through May 4th.

The baby animals are ready to say hello!

Meet sweet little calves...

Soft, wooly little lambs...

...fuzzy baby chicks...

...and wobbly little foals!

Pet the baby animals to your heart's content. Your kids and the "kids" at the farm are sure to become good friends.

The bunnies are ready to snuggle and cuddle...

...and the funny little piglets are definitely entertaining.

Make sure to check the schedule so you can see presentations that include bottle feeding calves and goat kids, sheep shearing, and goat milking. Sign up to be a Ranch Hand Helper and be part of the presentation!

There are plenty of other activities to keep your kids busy at the ranch during the festival. Take a ride on the mini train to get a quick tour.

They'll want to participate in the rubber duckie races to see if their duck can be a winner.

Send them on a wild ride on the mega slides.

Let them burn off some energy jumping and playing on one of the jump pads.

Don't forget your camera - there are plenty of opportunities for cute photos all around the ranch.

When everyone has worked up an appetite, head to the concessions stand, where you'll find corn dogs, hamburgers, fries, drinks, and treats like fresh, homemade donuts.

The festival is open to the public Monday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m..
