Great place for the kids to see and interact with lots of animals. They had horses, rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep, and a cow that they could touch, brush, and hold. Lots of other fun activities like a hay ride and hay bales to climb. Overall an excellent spot to spend a couple hours.

Man I haven’t been to this hidden gem of a farm since I was a teenager and definitely brought back memories of playing with the little animals. Staff was friendly, animal out in the opening friendly to pet looks healthy..a place to go take your children to meet small animals.

Questions & Answers

Are the animals taken care of well?

Kate Sladek | Nov 4, 2019

Absolutely. My parents sent my brother and me to camp there 30+(!?) years ago. Now I'm sending my own kids, and they went to preschool there. It's a wonderful place!
