This is a great little farm for young children. We have taken our granddaughter on several occasions and she loves it. There are a good range of animals to see as well as a sandpit for little ones to play with toys and to fill dump trucks with sand.
Purchased some farm eggs to take home too.

My partner and I came here for date night and it was fun and inviting but I was a bit upset to see the condition the animals were in. The horses mainly did not look like they had been brushed or washed. When we were petting them dust was flying everywhere.

Was a nice morning out with the family. Lots of animals to pet. Found it a bit windy as it’s open field. No concession open probably due to COVID. Private wagon rides available but unsure of pricing as I was invited and everything was already paid for. Ample parking. A little hard with a stroller as it was gravel paths.

This appeared to be more of a zoo than a farm. A zoo where children were allowed in to many of the enclosures to touch the animals. This went down well with the three year olds. The trailer ride was also very popular and we enjoyed scarecrow alley.

Do not waste your money going here. My 3 year old waited in line for over an hour for a 5 second pony ride. Wasn’t allowed to take a pic of her and staff would take one. Missed the tractor ride because we waited in line for so long. Not sure why they wouldn’t have more than 1 pony going at a time for pony rides when the line up was over 20 kids long. Very disorganized, unhelpful staff. Kraay farm in Lacombe is 100 x better.

NO COVID REFUND POLICY. Don't bother booking a day camp here. There is no COVID refund policy. Unfortunately two of our kids had to isolate due to being a close contact. There was no refund, not even a partial refund, no credit and absolutely no willingness to work towards a solution. This may be the only day camp that does not take the current pandemic into consideration. The safety and well being of the children at this camp clearly come second to making money. We are now out $680 dollars and an email string that basically says 'don't let the door hit you on the way out'. I will never book a camp or visit this facility again. They should be ashamed.

f I couldn’t find someone to take his spot and he didn’t get better - too bad! We lose our $370 with no option to move to a different week.

Went with a five year old and a two year old. They seemed to have fun. The bunnies were all in hiding but the goats where out and ready to have a pet or two and eat some seeds from an ice cream cone(.25). We saw baby chicks and piglets and grown pigs and sheep. Horses and ponies and donkeys. We even saw emus and peacocks and peahens. There was little play area for the kids. It was a good time not sure if it’s worth going back more than one time a year

Had a really great time exploring the “farm”. We got there nice and early so we beat the rush. The pony ride was a treat for our 3yo, if not a little short. Our 8yo loved the bunny cage - who knew. He calmly sat cuddling them as long as we’d allow. The piglets are fun too except it’s hard to control how many people come into the pen - most of the time there were more human feet than pig feet on the ground. We also really enjoyed the goats and calves. It’s pricey, but if you can afford it, it was a lot of fun.
