Visiting a farm is an enriching and rewarding experience, plus it’s a whole lot of fun. If you’ve ever wanted to get up close to an alpaca, learn how to shear a sheep or snuggle up to a goat you can do all that and more here.

It’s like a real life treasure hunt and it’s an amazing way to get engage the entire family outdoors! Just pop in the coordinates and see if you can find a hidden cache. In Lennox & Addington we are one of Canada’s premier geocaching destinations with about 1,500 geocaches hidden here.
