Special Instructions:
The Ironwood Pig Sanctuary provides a permanent home in a safe, nurturing environment to over 675 pot-bellied pigs that have been abandoned, abused, neglected, or unwanted. The 1.5 – 2-hour private tour takes us through the Sanctuary where you will meet and interact with some of the pigs in their environment. It’s a fun and informative tour. Bring water, no outside food is allowed. Shoes will get dusty.
