Good to know before you come

  • Feeding fun: cups of feed for the goats and ducks are $1 each, Saturdays and Sundays only.
  • Please don’t bring food for the animals. Many of them are on special diets set with our vets, and some human snacks are dangerous for them.
  • Shade and seating: there is a large shaded picnic area and plenty of places to sit.
  • Groups of 10 or more get a discount: birthday parties, scout troops, family gatherings, school clubs. Book a group visit.
  • Members visit as often as they like for a year. See memberships.
  • Wildlife: we are not licensed to take in or rehabilitate wildlife.
