Things to See & Do

Walk the barnyard and meet the farm animals, and feed them carrots with the shovel that comes with the bucket. Ride the tractor around the farm or the little train around the garden. In the regular season there is also a sunflower patch and pumpkins, and the farm hosts an egg hunt, goat yoga, donkey cuddles, a pony club and summer camp.

On show nights in the holidays, take the light walk-through, ride the train through the lit garden, and take photos with friends and family. The farm calls the lights a perfect photo spot for the whole family.

Special / Seasonal Events

Barnyard Under the Stars is the farm's holiday light show, held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from late November through December. The farm adds dates closer to Christmas, so watch its Facebook and Instagram pages.

Tips and Tricks

Dogs and other pets are not allowed at the farm. Outside food for the animals is not allowed, and neither is outside food for you beyond snacks, nor outside parties. Play sets and sandboxes are closed during the light show. The train in the garden runs on Friday and Saturday evenings of the light show.

Admission & Guidelines

Admission is charged per person, and children under 2 get in free. Everyone gets a wristband at the entrance that has to be worn all the time. The train and tractor rides and the carrots cost extra. During the holiday light show, tickets are bought at the door the day of the visit. The farm takes cash and credit cards (cards carry a small processing fee), and all sales are final.

Under 37 inches, a child needs a chaperone to ride the train. Light show admission is not covered by the farm's yearly membership.
