Session Description
In this tour you’ll have the barnyard to yourself and with the help of your tour guide, you’ll brush cows, meet the horses and donkeys, cuddle turkeys, hold chickens, pet goats, and sheep, give pigs tummy rubs, and so much more. Being at The Gentle Barn is like walking through a giant storybook where you’ll hear the animals’ stories of resilience and learn what they teach us about forgiveness, unconditional love, and living in the moment. You are sure to fall in love with animals more deeply than ever before.
At The Gentle Barn, our animals always come first. Our animals get to live their very best lives, eat on a schedule, and spend time with their friends. Our tours and guests get to enjoy the animals, while the animals are enjoying their natural lives and may not always be available. Thanks for the understanding and for loving animals with us.
