Petting Farm?
I am going to have small children visiting next week. Are there any places I can take them in the area where they can see animals...like a petting farm?

Remick Farm.
From their web site ...
Come to the Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, where the agricultural way of life in New Hampshire, from 1790 to the present, is preserved. You can see a working farm with sheep, goats, cows, steers, oxen, chickens, and turkeys. In spring and summer, see lambs and pigs. Walk into the 1830's garden and view the historic crops and vegetables. Take a leisurely 6/10 mile hike on the Binsack Trail, a low impact experience offering spectacular views of Remick Farm, Mount Chocorua, and the Ossipee Mountain Range. http://www.remickmuseum.org/ |

close to home . . .
Beans n' Greens has an outdoor enclosure behind the main building with a variety of young animals if you are looking for something close to home. It's not a big to-do but it is interesting to kids.

And there is always York's Wild Animal Kingdom in York Beach, Me. I know is sounds far, but it is really only about an hour. The Nubble Lighthouse is also nearby and there is an arcade in York Beach as well. I was there on Monday.
