Maltby Produce Market, Snohomish
Maltby Produce Market, located across the street from (and owned by) Flower World, operates an onsite animal farm. Kids can get close to chickens and peacocks, and watch sheep and goats roaming in a grassy area. Pro tip: You can enter the peacock enclosure and be surrounded by a couple of dozen peacocks — watch for poop — and find a little barn that sometimes houses cute baby animals. Round out the experience by shopping for farm-fresh produce, herbs and eggs. Note: Dogs are not allowed.
Cost: Free
Schedule: Open daily year-round.
Address: 19523 Broadway Ave., Snohomish
