Come on down to the farm and visit our Petting Zoo! This self guided experience lets you visit our cows, pigs, goats, sheep, alpaca, donkeys, ponies, bunnies, and more at your leisure! Check out one of a kind features like our "education barn", farrowing house "nursery barn", and "rabitat". The petting zoo is a fun and educational experience for all ages to enjoy.
Our goats, sheep, cows, and alpaca love snacking on animal crackers. Our bunnies love snacking on carrot tops. Only feed them the tops; carrots themselves contain too much sugar for our bunnies.
Your group admission ticket includes 2 animal crackers per person to feed the animals. Additional cracker and pellet feed purchase available. Do not feed our animals outside food – they will get very sick.
The petting zoo is stroller and wheelchair accessible.
