If all else fails—if the lakes are frozen, the fountains are dry, and your car has a flat tire—visit a petting zoo or a farm sanctuary. Many have adorable domestic ducks that love a good snack. They’re the friendliest, most photogenic ducks you’ll ever meet.
And here’s a fun twist: you can usually buy a bag of special feed at the entrance. No guesswork. No scrambling for frozen peas. It’s duck feeding, made easy. You’ll leave with a smile and possibly a duck feather in your hair.
