Mekkerland, Petting zoo in Mariakerke, Belgium.
Mekkerland features a harmonious environment with three goats, two sheep, five chickens, and five rabbits living in protected pastures without milking or slaughtering activities.
The petting zoo established itself as a meeting farm in Mariakerke, focusing on creating connections between people and animals through controlled interactions and educational experiences.
Children discover agricultural life and animal care through hands-on experiences, including activities like creating mud soups in the outdoor play kitchen.
The facility operates from late April through September, welcoming visitors on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 14:00 and 18:00, with access through the Zuiderlicht nursing home garden.
The facility maintains dedicated spaces where animals remain undisturbed in their pastures, prioritizing their comfort while visitors observe from designated areas.
