Love You to the Yak 'n' Back

Jan. 27, 2024

Okay, now this sounds like an adorable way to get into the Valentine’s Day spirit: The Kiwidinok Tibetan Yak Petting Farm in Boyne City is hosting a recurring “Love You to the Yak ’n’ Back” event February 1-19. Get out of the cold and head inside the barn to meet the farm’s animal residents—​​Tibetan yaks, alpacas, turkeys, goats, rabbits, sheep, and more. You’ll get a chance to pet and feed the friendly animals, plus get memorable Valentine’s photo ops. Tours take place at 11am, 12:30pm, and 2pm Thursday through Monday, with advance reservations required. Admission is $10 per person, or $9 for groups of three or more people. While you’re there, be sure to visit the farm’s gift shop, which is packed with yak-inspired souvenirs. More details can be found at kiwidinok.com.
