We rarely close for weather, but in the event of severe storms or unsafe conditions we may close early or for the day. We always post updates on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Give us a call if you're unsure — we'd rather you know before making the trip!

Our petting zoo is home to goats, donkeys, peacocks, pigs, ducks, turkeys, and chickens. The lineup can vary by season — some babies arrive in spring! Check our Facebook or Instagram page for the latest animal updates.

Children of all ages are welcome! Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult inside the petting zoo enclosures. Toddlers tend to love the goats best — they're the gentlest of the bunch.
