Visitor tip
This venue is magical for children ages 1-9 and creates lasting memories that families revisit years later. Bring young children who love animals, as the hands-on bottle-feeding of baby goats, calves, and baby chicks provides unforgettable interactive experiences.
Best time
Visit during the Fall Festival in October on Saturday mornings (10am opening) for special seasonal activities and a festive atmosphere, or book your school group in advance to take advantage of age-appropriate guided farm exploration with educators.
Visitor tip
The farm animals are most active during the day when you visit. Start with bottle-feeding the baby animals first (especially baby goats and calves) as these are the most popular interactive experiences and animals may tire as the day progresses.

Our kids loved it. They have pony rides and train rides, plus you can feed and pet most of the animals. There's lots to see and a playset in the middle of the farm. The animals were very active. Definitely will return when we visit again.
