Vanderlaand The Barnyard Zoo is a charming interactive farm zoo located at Winchester Springs in North Dundas, Ontario, offering families a hands-on experience with a friendly collection of farm and exotic animals. Visitors can meet miniature horses, goats, sheep, alpacas, donkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, peacocks, emus, and geese in a well-maintained and welcoming rural setting. Activities include birthday parties, group tours, and the popular "Help Farmer Ruth with the Chores" experience, encouraging direct engagement rather than passive observation. Operating seasonally with both weekday and weekend hours, The Barnyard Zoo provides an accessible and affordable outing where children and adults alike can connect with animals in a genuinely caring farm environment.
