National Alpaca Days at Alpacachino Ranch is a seasonal kickoff event where visitors can meet, feed, and photograph resident alpacas and llamas. What to Know: Admission is half-price for this opening weekend, making it an affordable outdoor outing. The ranch is located in Cedar Grove, which is about a forty-minute drive northwest of Durham. Toddlers and elementary-aged children will get the most out of seeing the three new baby alpacas, but strollers with heavy-duty wheels are recommended for the uneven farm terrain. Port-a-potties are available on-site, and parking is in an open grassy field. This is a straightforward, low-stress farm visit that gets you out into the countryside without committing to a massive, exhausting theme park day.
