Located on Highway 14 near the town of Lyle in Southwestern Washington, Schreiner Farms is home to a number of exotic animals. Even better, they welcome visitors as long as they abide by a few simple rules. They ask visitors to stay in their own vehicles, remain on the main main road, yield to farm traffic and refrain from smoking and littering. Best of all — there’s no admission charge.

A working cattle ranch, Schreiner Farms also raises a variety of exotic animals. As you cruise along the main ranch road you’ll see enclosures on each side, filled with antelope, emu, ostrich, deer, elk, zebra and llamas. Sometimes the animals get close to the fence, and sometimes they don’t, so sightings are truly the luck of the draw. That said, at the turn-around spot — which is clearly marked — you’ll probably get a good gander of the resident giraffes. Their barn is close to the road and more often than not they hang out there. Either way, this is a great quick road trip stop along Highway 14, as you never know what you’ll see.
