We had so much fun at BBA! The staff answered all of our (many, many) questions and clearly adore all of the alpacas in their care. Although each alpaca had its own unique charm, our FAVORITE is Joaquin--a rare, blue-eyed wonder. I highly recommend BBA as a day trip from the DC area, combined with a trip to charming downtown Sykesville on your way home.
