According to the Alytus District Municipality, these farms are not included in the lists of places of interest marked on tourist maps, so visiting them will be completely different from a walk through well-kept parks or zoos. To find pets, you will have to walk through the meadow, from one enclosure to another, and … take care of yourself under your feet.
However, the immediate presence among the animals, the opportunity to talk to them and caress them will make children especially happy, and no less good emotions can also give adults.
“There are no ads, but you can visit and see,” say farmers in the Alytus district who raise animals and accept the curious.
