The area around Orlando is full of tourist attractions. This makes sense as several of the United States largest and best theme parks are located within the city of Orlando itself. An alternative to these larger then life theme parks is located minutes away in Kissimmee.
Kissimmee is often where tourists choose to stay during their vacation to the Orlando area. Outside the large city with a great tourist's infrastructure featuring several well known hotels and modest Bed and Breakfasts Kissimmee is ideal for families and solo travelers wanting to visit Orlando without staying in the city.
Kissimmee does offer tourists several attractions of its own such as the Green Meadows Petting Zoo. The zoo is a great place to spend a relaxing day away from the bustling crowds of tourists and visitors. The Green Meadows Petting Zoo has over 300 farm animals and is located in quiet country secluded from the ever expanding cities.
The activities here are specially designed for young children who will love the cute animals and the variety of events. The aim of Green Meadows Petting Zoo is to educate guests about animals that are crucial to farms and farm life. Cows, horses, and pigs are standard affair but there are also goats, ponies, turkeys, and ducks.
Other activities include a chance to milk a cow, available to everyone and a hayride. During October visitors will even be able to choose their very own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. Pony rides and picnic areas are also available.
The Green Meadows Petting Zoo is a great place to take the kids. A two hour tour takes guests all around the farm to learn about the animals and learn about the farm.
