Green Meadows Petting Farm
Green Meadows Petting Farm is a farm animal learning center company. It was founded by Bob and Coni Keyes in Waterford, Wisconsin in 1964 as a petting farm. In 1988, they moved to Kissimmee, Florida and opened a second operation, notable for featuring a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railroad for its guests to enjoy. The locomotive on this railroad is the same model as the locomotive used on the Gatorland Express in nearby Gatorland.[1]
Members of the Keyes Family have opened eight additional Green Meadows Farms with total attendance of 500,000 people per year.[2]
