Little Animals

Tanglewood Farm

You’ve heard of them but have you actually seen a pig not much taller than a teacup? The tiny animals at Tanglewood Farm in Northern Georgia will astound you. Their caretakers boast of a ten acre wild west town where nearly a hundred people live year around. And naturally, kids are more than welcome to come visit.

For the kids (the human kind, not the tiny goats) they offer petting, feeding, pony rides, hay rides and panning for gold. Located on what was once Cherokee land, the lucky visitor might even discover an arrowhead. And oh yes, some couples choose to hold their wedding at this farm.

More than 100 tiny animals live on the farm including horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, cats, dogs, and let us not forget the little turkeys. The town offers a wild west bank, saloon, jail, school and a trading post where snacks and souvenirs are sold.

All the animals are purebred and registered. Some of the animals are for sale, so if you are looking for that very unusual gift, you might want to put Tanglewood Farm on your shopping list. They are open year around but not on Monday’s and Tuesdays. However, they do not offer formal places to eat and visitors are encouraged to bring a lunch and enjoy one of the picnic tables they provide.

Be sure to check tour times. The nearest place to stay is at Canton, Georgia.

Drive farther south and you’re in Atlanta. Take the kids to see Six Flags Over Georgia, a wonderful theme park with roller coasters and an abundance of other rides. Or try Six Flags White Water with still more attractions and one of the world’s tallest free-falls. Or maybe Fayetteville will be more to your liking with museums and historical buildings.
