Closed for Renovations – Opening the Door to Possibilities
Our beloved Farmyard is closed for the season as we work on expanded experiences and improved accessibility for all our guests.
Thank you for your patience!
In the meantime, you can:
-
Follow our renovations and see your favorite Farmyard friends every Farmyard Friday on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
-
Join our Farmyard Friends of Lambs Farm Facebook group for exclusive behind-the-scenes updates on our animals
-
Continue to sponsor your favorite animals during the off-season or even order a custom animal painting (details below!)
Your support helps us make the Farmyard better than ever. We can’t wait to see you once renovations are completed!
Field Trips
We don’t have an exact opening date for the Farmyard just yet. If you’re interested in planning a field trip, we’d be happy to assist you as best we can for the summer and fall seasons. Thank you for your patience and understanding—we look forward to welcoming you soon!
Birthday Parties
We may not have a confirmed opening date just yet, but we’re still here to help you plan a memorable birthday celebration. If you’re interested in booking, our team is happy to assist you and will keep you posted on our timelines. Thank you for understanding!
Animal Sponsorships
Help provide food, veterinary care, and enrichment for the animals that call Lambs Farm home. Whether they are rescues, seniors, or have special needs, your support helps us continue to ensure they receive the best care and love.
Custom Animal Paintings
Some of our animals love to express their creativity! With guidance from our dedicated keepers, they create one-of-a-kind masterpieces using safe, non-toxic paint. Order a custom painting and receive a unique work of art while supporting the Farmyard. These also make wonderful gifts!
