Wegafarm (Pet Farm)

This farm has about 100 milch goats and other animals. There is an extensive playing field where animals and children can run around together and play. Children learn about keeping animals for the production of dairy products such as goat’s cheese, goat’s milk, yoghurt, and ice cream in a playful manner. A considerable part of the building is used as a goat farm, in which about 100 goats are kept in an animal-friendly manner. Visitors go through several swing doors to enter the sheds and view the animals from up close and stroke them. People can also see how the animals are fed and milked.

Open: daily from 10.30 am until 5.30 pm. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (except holidays).
