It’s spring, which also means cute baby animals are here!
The Twin Cities Festival is known for having Minnesota’s largest corn maze each fall. But for the second year in a row, they are hosting a Spring Babies Festival, where kids and adults alike can hold or pet cute baby animals including goats, sheep, bunnies, ducklings, chicks and ponies! There are also other activities, and the entire event is enclosed, so it’s open rain or shine!
I told my kids about the event and they immediately said “We want to go!” My kids love anything cute and there’s nothing cuter than baby animals!
