Petting Zoo

Petting zoos are one of the best ways for kids to get up close and personal with animals they normally would have no access to. Here at Kamp Dels, we have a large petting zoo, allowing kids to pet and feed our animals and gain valuable hands-on experience. Book your RV spot or cabin rental in Waterville today!

Reduces Stress

Research has continually shown that petting your dog or cat reduces stress, can cause your heart rate and blood pressure to lower, and can cause your brain to release the hormone oxytocin, the "feel-good hormone." The same holds true for petting animals at a petting zoo.

Brings Happiness

Animals live in the moment perpetually, so when we are around them, we tend to do the same. Their antics can bring a smile to our face, and our hearts are warmed by their nuzzles.

"Meet" New Animals

Meeting new animals is simply a pleasure, and kids who have never been able to "meet" a chicken, goat, sheep, or duck will be overjoyed with this life experience.
