More about The Tier Garten...
Short Description:
Tier Garten translates to “small animal garden” and once you and your family disembark in the Tier Garten there is much to see and do. Grant's Farm encourages guests to get closer to animals. Ask anybody about their visit to Grant's Farm, no matter what their age, and they will tell you about their close encounters with the goats! Pygmy goats have been at Grant's Farm since 1954.
Grant's Farm has guinea pigs, chickens, bunnies, and ducks, plus more exotic species like lemurs, kangaroos, and Aldabra tortoises that come from an island off India. There are also bald eagles that fly through the park.

Fun activities inside the Tier Garten:
1. Feed the goats. For $1 you can buy a bottle of milk and enter their yard to feed them. This is great fun for kids of all ages as the goats adore being fed by bottle.
2. Animal encounters. Grant's Farm is home to two African elephants that are part of an edutainment program. This is shaped husbandry, no silly tricks. Because the handlers need to influence and control the animals to ensure their health, they utilize the animal's natural behaviors to teach guests while working with the animals. Check for show times. They usually begin at 10:00 am and conclude by 4:00 pm.
3. Observing small animals. Throughout the Tier Garten there are small animal enclosures and often handlers walking around with animals for children to touch.
4. Camels and llamas. Though the animals are behind fences, there is an opportunity to purchase feed and have them eat out of your hands.
5. Show Stopper Snacks offers a range of snack foods including kettle corn and funnel cakes.
6. Ice cream stands are also available.
