At this animal sanctuary near Orlando, there is no shortage of animals to cuddle and love on, and it’s even better when you know that all of them are rescues!

The animals receive around-the-clock care, eat high-quality diets, and have spacious barns and green pastures to laze and graze in. Tours are free, but the sanctuary does ask for donations, and it’s certainly a cause you can feel good about backing. Florida is full of animals just waiting for a hug, like these alpacas! But we'd recommend keeping your distance from these guys. Kindred Spirits Sanctuary Price: Free When: Third Wednesday of every month, and some Saturdays Address: 1411 E. Hwy 329 Citra, FL 32113 Why You Need To Go: Cuddle with the sweetest farm animals for free and support a rescue sanctuary! Website
