I've been to Country Critters and it's pretty neat. They have the pony rides (hooked up to a walker), they have the hay ride, and they could pet a bunch of the animals. And it's just south of Mansfield so it's not too far from you.
Hey girls,
My son is about to turn 2ys old next month and is IN LOVE with anything farm related. He loves barns, tractors, animals, etc. I am looking for a farm-type environment to take him to for his birthday and would love any suggestions from you girls! I guess a petting zoo would work but it would be great to go somewhere with a barn that has animals and fields that does tours or something. Maybe it doesn't exist but I would be open to something like that. :0)
We live in South Arlington but would be willing to travel a ways to make his day.

I did some searching and this place looks really cute!

There is a place in Irving called Fritz Petting Farm but it is only open June and July, but you can pet the animals and it is free. This is the link http://www.ci.irving.tx.us/parks-and-recreation/fritz.asp- my kids loved it.
