Alpacas and kids are a natural match. Because of their small stature (they stand about 5’2”), alpacas tend to gravitate to those their same height or shorter). You’ll hear the calming humming sound they are famous for. Don’t be afraid of them spitting…they only spit at each other and usually during mealtime!

Learn More About Alpacas

What is an alpaca, you ask? An alpaca is a South American Camelid native to the Altiplano region of the Andean Mountains. You may be more familiar with its cousin, the llama. Alpacas are known for their large curious eyes, long necks and luxurious fiber.
