Choose Your Farm Experience
Want to get extra time with our animals this winter? We have several unique farm experiences to choose from:
- Scratch My Ass(es): Get to know our donkeys. They love being scratched and pet! This is an outside experience.
- My Little Pony: Spend some time with our ponies. This is an outside experience.
- Guinea Pigs: Meet our herd of 60 Guinea Pigs! Watch them play and cuddle with your favourites. This is an inside experience.
- Bunny Fun: We may be biased, but we’re pretty sure we have the cutest bunnies around. Spend some time with them and cuddle with your favourites. This is an inside experience.
Details: Our farm experiences offer hands-on, educational time with the animals and Farmer Ruth. Learn more about the amazing (and cute!) creatures on our farm. After your farm experience is done, you are free to visit the other animals on the farm.
Cost: $100 for up to 5 people. Additional people can be added to your group for an extra fee.
Duration: Each experience is one hour.
Note: Outside experiences are weather dependant. Availability is limited; pre-booking is required.
