Operated by Land of Little Horses · Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Situated in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Land of Little Horses offers an immersive, family-friendly outdoor experience unlike any traditional petting zoo. This unique destination invites visitors of all ages to engage directly with about 50 horses ranging from miniature breeds to full-sized draft horses, alongside a diverse collection of goats, sheep, rabbits, and exotic animals. The park’s grounded approach highlights each animal’s personality and care, creating meaningful animal interactions rather than just passive observation.
Visitors can plan an all-day adventure from 10 am to 5 pm that includes professional performances, such as equine shows and sprinting pig events, scheduled daily at key times. Three daily horse grooming sessions give guests hands-on opportunities to brush coats and tails, deepening the connection with these charismatic creatures. Meanwhile, the petting zoo offers constant access to friendly farm friends.
Beyond animal encounters, Land of Little Horses incorporates a Western Town—a small-scale recreation of the Old West—where kids can try pony rides or hop aboard wagon and train rides for a taste of frontier transport. Gem mining adds an offbeat, tactile way to engage younger visitors, mixing outdoor adventure with educational play.
Set within the rolling fields of Gettysburg, a town known for its pivotal Civil War history, the park offers a gentle reminder of rural American heritage and stewardship of animals. Land of Little Horses stands apart in the region’s recreation options by fusing farm education, live animal performance, and family entertainment in one venue. Whether you’re local or passing through, it’s a standout destination that enriches outdoor outings with authentic animal experiences and historic echoes.
