Since they also run an animal refuge, you can usually find a friendly pet somewhere on the premises. The kids will also enjoy the ship and and play area outside with goats and other farm animals.

If you are looking for a great place to eat in Windham, you can't go wrong with Lilly's. It is a bit pricey, but a solid steakhouse worth the price. The ambiance is top notch, especially if you sit by the windows overlooking the main street. While you're there, check out the autographed boxing shorts from Muhammad Ali. All portions are large and there is a wide selection of both Seafood and steaks. Great for date nights or a nice dinner.
