Information:
This is no ordinary Amish farm, what with camels, kangaroos and giraffes roaming about.
Visitors can take a wagon ride or drive their car through the farmland, which houses 500-plus animals, including porcupines, pigs, ostriches and zebras. If you buy a bucket of food, you’ll likely entice the animals to come closer.
Also on-site: two Amishstyle farmhouses (that is, without electricity) where visitors can watch quilting and other demonstrations and buy baked goods.
$8.75 to $11.75; parking: free.

A lot of art museums might bore kids — but not this one.
The museum’s Gallery One, which made its debut in 2013 as part of a $350 million renovation and expansion, has been a huge hit with children of all ages.
Exhibits here combine real works of art with techheavy interaction centered on themes such as Composition, Symbols, Purpose and Gestures and Emotion. (Note: Part of Gallery One was closed in March for a renovation; it will reopen in June with new exhibits and a new name, ArtLens Gallery.)
Other kid favorites in the museum include the Armor Court and the outdoor Fine Arts Garden with adjacent lagoon.
Adults might want to catch the upcoming special exhibit “Rodin: Master of Modern Sculpture” (beginning Sept. 1).
free; parking: $10 first two hours, $2 each hour thereafter to $16.
