The Small Town Petting Zoo In Iowa That’s Worthy Of A Road Trip

Constantly on the hunt for family-friendly activities the whole family will love? Fortunately, you'll find plenty to do in Iowa, whether you're searching to fill a few hours or an entire day, especially if you love animals. Pile the whole family into the car for a road trip to this petting zoo in Iowa that promises an unforgettable adventure.

Create lifelong memories with the whole family — or your best pals — when you journey to Sass Family Farm in Riverside.

The family-owned farm, an area favorite since 1997, offers plenty to do for the entire family — from the playground for the kiddos to the petting zoo.

Start your adventure at the petting zoo, where you'll meet plenty of furry farm animals — from adorable goats to...

...soft sheep. You might even meet the resident orange cat (pictured below) named Garfield.

Stop by and say hello to the horses, cows, llamas, and maybe even a domestic bunny or two.

After meeting all the furry and feathered residents, watch the kids at the playground. Push them on the swing, or cheer them on as they build castles in the sand box.

Don't forget to stock up on straight from the farm fresh produce, such as apples, potatoes, and watermelon.

If you love browsing and shopping for antiques, you'll discover an impression collection at Sass Family Farm.
