Wilmington, NC – The Children's Museum of Wilmington is thrilled to present Family Farm Day, an annual event featuring live farm animals  on Saturday, May 17th, from 9 AM to 12 PM. The Museum will be hosting a petting zoo from McNally’s Farm in the courtyard of the Museum, where children and their caregivers can get up close and engage with a variety of farm friends.
