It's all about nature, so of course there are animals to say hello to! The Heckscher Farm features adorable barnyard animals for the kids to play with and meet, before they can head out onto the nature trails at the Overbook Nature Center!

Here, they are not only live animals from an interactive exhibit area, and beautiful walking trails that wind through those 80 acres of forest and wildlife.
