Now that the sun’s appeared are you ready to take your chances and host a birthday party outside? City Savvy’s Tina Pace took her search outdoors in the Duchy to find the perfect spot.
Alpaca Petting Party
This pedagogical farm is the only one in Luxembourg that can offer your child the chance to look after an alpaca for their special day! The children get to muck out the stables, make up the special muesli and then walk their alpacas whilst listening to a talk on the origins and behaviours of these cuddly creatures. Your child will also have a chance to meet dwarf goats and Galloway cows. Two adults maximum are allowed for the party, but the owners will take great care of your kids! Maximum 10 children; from 3-year-olds and upwards.
