WHAT IF IT RAINS?

We all know it seldom rains in North Vancouver. When it does Maplewood is open and Fun. We have umbrellas to lend and the pathways drain fairly well (wear boots anyway) and there is always the Greenhouse, Rabbitat, Livestock Barn and Picnic Shelter to hide out in. When it rains, the Goats can be found in Hill Paddock out behind the barn under a shed roof. Don’t forget, it’s dry inside the Gift Shop, too!
Come on in and enjoy farming in the rain!
