💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Purchase tickets and complete waivers online before arriving to avoid potentially long lines at check-in, which can significantly delay your entry to the petting zoo.
• 💡Parking is limited near the ranch entrance; use the paid lot at the far end of the pedestrian way in River Street to avoid circling for street parking. Parking is a few minutes' walk from the farm.
• 💡Purchase a feed basket to significantly enhance your experience with the animals, particularly for the popular guinea pig area where you can sit and relax with individual animals. Note that some animals like bunnies and guinea pigs may not be out on very hot days.
• 💡Plan to spend 1-2 hours at the ranch; it works best for children ages 5+. Younger children may lose interest quickly. Budget extra time to explore nearby shops, restaurants, and ice cream spots in the River Street area to maximize your visit.
• 🕐Popular attractions like the excavator have unpredictable wait times with limited communication. Use the on-site playground to keep children occupied while waiting, and consider prioritizing the petting zoo and train rides early to avoid peak wait times.
