When

April 2, 2026. 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Did you know that Sky Meadows is home to hundreds of beef cattle? Or that the farm was once home to dairy cows? Stop by the Dairy Barn for a ‘moo-gnificent’ experience all about cows. We’ll talk cattle terminology, discuss the differences between livestock farming for beef and dairy, and explore the historic Barn. You’ll have the chance to try your hand at our replica milking station, say “hi” to the barn’s current residents (they are not cows anymore!), and ask all your pressing questions about the park’s ‘moo-velous’ bovine residents.
