Come on down to the farm and visit our Barnyard Petting Zoo! Visit our goats, sheep, alpaca, donkeys, ponies, bunnies, pigs, cows, and more! The Barnyard is a fun and educational experience for the whole family to enjoy. All ages are welcome!
Our goats, sheep, cows, and alpaca love snacking on animal crackers. Our bunnies love snacking on carrot tops. Please only feed them the tops; carrots themselves contain too much sugar for our bunnies. Please do not feed our animals outside food – they will get very sick.
If you would like to feed the animals, we offer a few options. At the Barnyard Booth, purchase animal crackers and/or a feed bucket with pellets (bring your bucket back every time you visit for a refill). From the Market, purchase carrot tops (must purchase whole carrots and take carrots home).
The Barnyard is stroller and wheelchair accessible.
