We're open for visitors BY APPOINTMENT Wednesdays-Sundays from 10AM til up to 7PM, weather permitting. Walk-in visitors without a ticket can stop by from 10AM til 2PM. Our goal is to exceed your expectations in every way, your suggestions and ideas are appreciated!
The number of ticketed guests are limited to make sure that we don't have too many folks on property at one time to give everyone the best possible experience.
If you plan to just show up, you risk being turned away if we are at capacity, so please get tickets to keep that from happening. Sales stop 30 min before the time you're hoping for, so grab them before you head out. NO WALK-IN GUESTS AFTER 2PM WITHOUT PERMISSION.
You are welcome to bring treats for the animals or buy them here in our gift shop for $5-$10. We recommend bananas (cows), sliced apples, baby carrots, strawberries or bags or treats from a feed store for mini animals of any type.
The cost for a visit during open hours is only $15 per person or $45 for a family of 4. Your purchase helps us care for the animals and keep our gates open.
Appointments are priced based on the experience.
NO TROLLEY RIDES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
