Surrounded by Boston | A haven for furry aliens
đˇ Winslow Farm Animal Sanctuary: A 40-Minute Drive from BostonâHeaven for Animal Lovers Tucked in a small town 40 minutes outside Boston, this charming sanctuary is a must-visit for anyone who adores fuzzy (and feathery) friends. Itâs not a zooâitâs a rescue farm where animals roam freely, and cuddles are practically mandatory. đž The Vibe: Cozy, Happy, and Hands-On This isnât a fancy attractionâjust a well-loved sanctuary where animals (and humans) relax. The residents? Pigs, ponies, turkeys, goats, rabbits, and 20+ cats (I only managed to pet three, but they were all sweet!). What makes it special: Most animals are free-roaming, so youâll have goats nuzzling your hand, pigs trotting by, and cats curling up on benches. Itâs pure "harmony between people and creatures"âyou can tell every animal is well-cared for (and spoiled, in the best way). đż What to Expect Size: Small enough to explore in under an hour, but packed with personality. No rushâlingering to brush a pony or watch goats play is half the fun. Interactions: Perfect for kids (or kids at heart). Most animals are friendly and used to humans, so petting, feeding (ask first!), and photo ops are easy. đ° Details Admission: $20 for adults, $10 for kids (cash onlyâhit an ATM before you go!). Location: 37 Eddy St, Nortonâa scenic drive from Boston, with country roads that make the trip feel like part of the adventure. Whether youâre looking for a low-key weekend outing, a kid-friendly day trip, or just need a dose of animal therapy, Winslow Farm delivers. Itâs simple, heartfelt, and full of joyâexactly what a sanctuary should be. #BostonDayTrip #AnimalSanctuary #FarmVibes #WeekendGetaway
