Spring is an exciting time of year for us at the animal park, the baby animals are so much fun to interact with, for our customers and the animal keepers, Shirley Johnson, director of the park said in a statement. The park expects to welcome more baby animals including ducklings, chicks, calves and piglets in the coming months. Occasionally, our spring babies are born during the day while our customers are visiting the park, which is an unforgettable experience for our guests, Nicola Alicandro, park manger said in a statement. The Leesburg Animal Park opens March 17. Activities at the park include animal petting and feeding, exotic animal exhibits, pony rides and wagon rides. This year, the park is offering a new Explorer wagon ride that allows guests to feed the animals from the wagon.
