If you like Alpacas you will love this place. Sandy runs it and she is an interesting character who loves to give a lot of info and backstory on each of the Alpacas. For $5 each person, you can visit with Alpacas. During the week it’s by appointment and on weekends it’s from 12-4. Definitely call ahead of time to make sure they are open because I don’t know what her hours are with the different seasons.
There is also a souvenir shop with a lot of cute Alpaca related items such as slippers, socks, hats, etc… from Peru. 15 miles from Escape.
