Exciting Changes coming Summer 2022

Planning a summer visit?

New year. New tour. 2022.

Starting May 1st, 2022 we will be changing to a self-guided tour. Instead of the guide taking a limited number of people from enclosure to enclosure like we have done in the past, we will have staff posted at each animal pen and guests can travel freely between pens at your leisure. This set up will be similar to our Fall Family Fun Event in October.

This means if you are really enjoying spending time at the moose, you don’t have to move on when the tour guide says your time is up! Instead hang out with Rocky and take as many photos as you want.

Toddlers are bored? Move on to the next animal!

We are really excited about this shift. By changing our current tour flow we can meet the needs of more visitors. We will NO LONGER REQUIRE APPOINTMENTS. Appointments are encouraged, but no longer required. We will accept people on a walk-in basis 7 days a week May 1st- September 17th.

Big changes are coming… what does this mean for you? 

Lots of changes, what you need to remember:

  • Self-Guided flow, no more guided tours. Explore the farm on your schedule!
  • No longer requiring appointments, walk-ins accepted 7 days a week!
  • No guided tour means no running late! Come any time during our normal business hours: 10:00am-5:00pm.
  • Extended summer season! We will be open 7 days a week May 1st- Mid September.

Do you still want a guided tour?

We will have a guided tour option as well! If the self-guided tour does not sound your speed, we are offering the new Grandpa Tom’s VIP Tour by appointment only.

Grandpa Tom’s VIP Tour will include feeding and photo opportunities with each of our animals. You may enter the pen with the reindeer, alpacas, and highland cows (at the tour guide’s discretion). Also hand petting Rocky and Lucy the moose.

These tours will have limited availability. Tour guests must be ages 10 and older. Tours will be limited to 10 guests per tour to allow for a more intimate animal encounter. The guide will focus on including farm and colony history, as well as animal information.

Grandpa Tom’s VIP Tour will last about 1.5 hours and cost $70 per person. Grandpa Tom’s VIP Tour will be offered May- August 2022.

You asked for it! We got it!

We are thrilled to announce we can now offer SEASON PASSES!

Our Summer Season Pass will be digital, so you will not need to bring a physical pass with you to each visit. Or if you pass is lost, we can still look you up in our system.

Season Pass holders can attend the farm as many times are they want on a walk-in basis during our normal business hours May 1st- Mid September. We will be open 7 days a week during this time.

At this time our Season Pass will only be for our Summer Season. The price is $45 per individuals ages 3 and older. Passes are nontransferable.

We are so excited to offer this Season Pass option!
