The One Of A Kind Deer Park In Pennsylvania That Your Kids Will Absolutely Love

Deer are just an everyday part of life in Pennsylvania. We see the beautiful animals prance through our yards. Many of us still gleefully point them out, especially when there’s a mama and a baby, when we see them on the side of the road. Of course, we’ve also learned how to quickly steer out of a deer’s path on the road. But, how often do we get to feed and to pet them? Create unforgettable memories and get to see the deer up close at this deer park in Pennsylvania.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

Meet the herd when you visit the ranch. And, during the summer, bottle feed the newest members of the herd. (Bottle feeding times are generally scheduled throughout the summer.)

Of course, you'll have the opportunity to feed and to pet the other deer, too. Just make sure you're at the park at 6 p.m. from May through August to give the friendly deer treats.

If you want to pet the deer, definitely visit during the summer months. Once fall and mating season roll around, deer stay in their own pens. And, to ensure everyone's safety, visitors are not allowed to touch the deer at that time.

Bringing the kids along? Then, spend some time in the playground that boasts an old police car, a limo, a fire truck, and slides. Keep an eye on your kids as they play, too, to help prevent damage to the vehicles and other playground equipment.
