New Discovery Barnyard at 2018 Kenosha County Fair (PHOTOS)

The Discovery Barnyard has a new location at the 2018 Kenosha County Fair in Wilmot.

This child favorite attraction is now located at the south end of the fairgrounds across from the Commercial Building. Rest rooms also are conveniently located nearby.

In recent years, bingo was held in the building. For many years before that the building housed the Salem United Methodist Church restaurant.

But even if you remember the building from way back when, you might not recognize it. In preparation for its new function the building was sided in barn red. The inside was cleared out to make one large, open space.

The fun starts before the kids even get inside with various digging activities.

Inside the building, there are exhibits on food, animals, farm life and agriculture. There are boxes on which you can read clues and feel an item and try to guess what it is. There is a bee exhibit where you can see a section of hive with real bees. There is a giant coloring wall, to which your little one can add their artistic vision and more.

Adjacent to the building is the petting zoo. Here children can get up close with docile animals such as baby chicks and ducks, rabbits, kittens and some easy going sheep and goats.

Here are some more photos of the facility:
