Spring & Summer Programs

(Available April – August)

Goat Walks
Our Nigerian Pygmy goats, Maggie and Willow, require a lot of enrichment and exercise to stay happy and healthy. Help us provide them with the best possible care by taking them on a forest trail walk with one of our naturalists.

Night Hikes
Join us as we hike through our 33-acre forest under the moonlight! Meet our Naturalist around a campfire and get introduced to the nocturnal animals in our collection, including our great horned owl. After, we will take a hike through the forest and learn about all the ways our woods change at night. Keep your ears and eyes alert for all the life that hides in the cover of night.

Barnyard Opening or Closing
In this fun-filled hour, your family has the opportunity to meet us in the morning or evening to go through our entire barnyard routine. Get up close and hands-on with the animals as we go through the feeding, watering, animal enrichment, and brushing off our chickens and goats. You’ll also enjoy a short goat walk.
Barn openings are 7 days a week.
Barn Openings: Around 9:00 AM
Barn Closings: Between 4:00 PM—5:00 PM

Primitive Fire and Cooking Techniques
Explore the history of fire through the ages and try your hand at primitive fire starting techniques. Celebrate your new skills with some well-deserved S’mores and Banana Boats.
