Welcome to the Barnyard!
To help keep our animals safe and ensure a great experience for everyone, please take a moment to review the guidelines below.
Guidelines
Admission
Entry to the Barnyard is $6 per person.
Venmo is preferred: @CarolineJ_85
Capacity
The Barnyard can comfortably host up to 30 guests (including children) at a time.
The petting-zoo area can welcome 8 guests at a time.
We currently have one paid Barnyard attendant and two wonderful volunteers assisting, so we appreciate your kindness and patience.
Entry & Visit Time
There is no re-entry to the Barnyard once you exit, but you’re welcome to hop back in line for the petting-zoo area.
We kindly ask that you limit your overall visit to about one hour so all families have the opportunity to enjoy the space.
Operating hours
We are open every Saturday and Sunday. Our hours are still being finalized - typically 10:00am to 2:00pm, depending on demand.
Animal Holding
Guests are welcome to hold one or two animals of their choice. If others are waiting, please limit holding time to about 5 minutes so everyone gets a turn.
Animal Kindness & safety
Please help us keep our animals calm and happy. No throwing rocks, chasing chickens, or yelling, as this can scare them. We kindly ask that all guests treat our animals with gentleness and respect.
Birthday Parties & Private Events
Interested in having a party or event at the Barnyard? We are happy to open earlier or stay open later for birthday parties or private events if arranged in advance.
We’ll do our best to accommodate your preferred timing and work with you to make your event special. Contact the Batture to learn more!
