Super cool trip if you love animals, or you have children and want a day trip. The staff here is super friendly. I ended up adopting a cat from here after a few trips, and was proud to support such a great palce in the process. The staff wasn't just giving out animals - they made sure we had a nice home for him first. They also have followed up with birthday cards for him and put an adoption photo up on the wall. Truly a wonderful little sanctuary for so many animals. Pictured - the cat we adopted πŸ˜„

Very cool hidden spot to take kids that love animals. No official admission cost, but they do ask for donations when you sign the waiver at the entrance. They are only open limited days and hours (Sunday and Tuesday, I believe). You can buy some human snacks to munch on if you get hungry (no meat though!). If you'd like, you can even buy little buckets of animal food to feed to the animals. Last time we went it was $3 for a bucket of lettuce for the feathered friends and $3 for a bucket of cut apples and carrots for the furry friends. They have dogs, ducks, chickens, peacocks, horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, bunnies, cats, a llama, an alpaca, and probably a few more. The staff and volunteers are super friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. Overall, it's a great place.

SUCH AN amazing opportunity! Definitely get out of the house and take your family to this place! It takes you to a much needed outdoor experience. You do have to sign a waiver (because these animals ARE roaming free) but it is worth every second. This place is heaven on earth to us animal lovers!

This place is truly incredible and a one of a kind experience. I've never been somewhere like this before! If you're an animal lover you NEED to visit the Funny Farm. The animals all wander the property and are so friendly! It's very safe …

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Can you volunteer

Juanita Lemken | Nov 4, 2019
Funny Farm Rescue & Sanctuary (Owner) | Nov 5, 2019

We would absolutely love that!! Anyone can volunteer for 5 min or 50 years on any Sunday or Tuesday any time between 8-4pm. No need to call ahead. Just check in with Cindy in our store. We have many jobs that need to be done. If you’re under 15, you just need to bring a parent. Thanks so much! Laurie

Is the funny farm pet friendly?

Donna Gomez | Sep 4, 2021
Funny Farm Rescue & Sanctuary (Owner) | Sep 5, 2021

Certainly we allow service animals however, we are not really a dog park. We have 600 animals and 11 dogs which will all want to play and it scares your dog to death. It takes a long time to acclimate the dogs to each other and a new dog never goes well so the answer is: for the safety of your animal, it’s best to leave them at home.
