Small towns in Texas are known for football and delicious Southern food, but Royse City has made a name for itself with something a little more unique.
The city, which is located about 40 minutes from Dallas, Texas, is home to ShangriLlama, a castle where seven llamas live.
The llamas who live at the castle include Dalai Llama, Barack O’Llama, Como T. Llama, Bahama Llama, Pajama Llama, Drama Llama, and Sir Lance-O-Llama.
Dalai Llama is the king of the Castle Barn, while Barack O'Llama is the prince, according to the ShangriLlama website.
ShangriLlama is open to visitors, offering guests the opportunity to interact with the animals
The castle offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy with the animals, including Llama Llessons where you can learn over 150 facts about the long-necked creatures, as well as Llama Walks, a two and a half hour trail walk with llamas at your side.
Schools can also make visits to ShangriLlama, giving children a chance to learn more about the creatures.
The castle will soon be available to rent for events, including weddings
Starting on Valentine's Day 2020, you will be able to rent ShangriLlama for themed events, like medieval or "Harry Potter"-inspired parties, according to its website.
The venue will even be open for weddings, where llamas can make guest appearances as bridal party members.
The llamas can also be made available for a meet and greet during wedding photo shoots. However, the castle grounds are so beautiful that you might want to have your wedding there even if you aren't a llama fan.
Visits to ShangriLlama must be scheduled in advance, and the castle's address is not publicly listed because the family who owns the property lives on-site.
