...MacDonald's Farm roam a placid Jersey cow and her calf, a few llamas, a couple of goats and a black baby yak. Behind the barn is a run for sheep, roosters, hens and geese, and there is a pen for three raccoons that hide in a log. The children can also poke around in a good-sized Noah's Ark, where the rabbits sleep at night, a candy-striped Hansel and Gretel gingerbread house (no witch), a turreted castle with winding stairs (and "Stoop" signs for the adults), and a walk-in birdcage.
