💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Visit on Sundays for scheduled activities: 10am guided walk to Bol Park with volunteer handlers, and 5pm feeding time at the pasture gate (4pm during Fall/Winter). Weekdays have unscheduled walks but no organized activities.
  • 💡Plan to spend 1-2 hours for a complete experience including the walk to Bol Park and interaction with the donkeys. The volunteer handlers provide detailed information about the donkeys' history and individual personalities—arrive early to maximize learning time.
  • 💡Bring your family to watch children meet the donkeys for the first time—reviews highlight this as a particularly memorable experience. The three donkeys (Perry, April, and Buddy) are calm and good with kids, though Perry is nervous around dogs.
  • 💡Engage with volunteer handlers during your visit to learn about each donkey's history, behaviors, and characteristics. They provide a wealth of educational information that enhances the experience beyond just feeding and observation.
  • 💡Consider making a donation to support the donkey care expenses. This is a community-supported program relying on volunteers and donations, and your contribution helps sustain this local educational resource.
