Do you have kiddos that love farm animals? Looking for something fun and free to do with the little ones? Then you have to make sure to check out Centennial Farm at the Orange County Fairgrounds. I love this little farm and have taken my kiddos a few times and they have had a blast!

The Centennial Farm is a real working farm. They have cows, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and other animals. You can get up close and pet many of them. There are also live demonstrations during the week.

Saturday & Sunday, 9 a. m. – 4 p.m.
