All Around Performance HorsesToddler Tuesday
Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, this farm experience blends play, stories, and up-close animal encounters. Little ones can explore farm toys and the playground while caregivers connect. An animal-themed story leads into visits with friendly residents like bunnies, a horse, goats, and more. Guests can wander the barn at their own pace, make a relaxing craft, enjoy snack time, or set out a picnic outdoors. Snacks and beverages are available for a quick refuel. Tickets are required for both children and adults, and bundle deals are offered. Closed-toe shoes are required for safety, please avoid arriving more than 15 minutes before the start, and strollers are welcome with a reminder to sanitize wheels after the visit. If plans change, provide at least 24 hours notice to request a refund minus ticketing and card processing fees, transfer to another date, or receive a voucher for a future visit.
