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. The locomotive on this railroad was the same model as the locomotive used on the Gatorland Express in nearby Gatorland.[1] The Kissimmee location closed in January 2018.[2]
Members of the Keyes Family have opened eight additional Green Meadows Farms with total attendance of 500,000 people per year.[3]
As of 2018, the family operated in:
- Waterford, Wisconsin (Charlie Keyes)
- Sherwood, Wisconsin (Pat and Bonnie Keyes)
- Hazlet, New Jersey (Tim Keyes)
- Orange, Connecticut (Dan Keyes)
- Bayside, New York (Dan Keyes)
