FAQ

Will my petting zoo reservation be completely private?

Yes! When you book a private petting zoo experience, you and the number of guests on your reservation will be the only visitors during that time slot. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
What is your refund policy?

To receive a full refund for a private petting zoo experience, we must receive at least 24 hours notice. Alternative dates may also be selected in lieu of a refund. For cancellations due to weather, a full refund will be provided or an alternative date may be selected.
What do I get when visiting the Sensory Petting Zoo?

You will be taken from animal to animal and enter the pastures and yards. During the tour, you will hear stories, facts and information about each animal. Questions are encouraged!
Do I need to make a reservation to visit?

Yes. Because this is a private residence, all visits must be scheduled via our online scheduling program.
Can I bring a hurt, injured or rescued animal to the barn?

No, unfortunately we only have space available for the current number of animals. If you have a hurt or injured animal, we'd be happy to help you find resources elsewhere.
What should I wear to the barn?

CLOSED TOED SHOES, please!
Can I bring my own food/drinks?

Animals can be very "food" driven. For the safety of you and the animals, please do not bring any food or drink into the paddocks. Food and drinks may be stored or consumed at the picnic table area unless a birthday party or event has been scheduled. If you are planning to consume food at the picnic table area, please ask prior. Food may also be stored in your car.
What payment methods do you accept?

Can I bring my dog?

For the safety and comfort of both our animals and your dog, dogs are not allowed on the grounds. Registered service animals are the only exception to this rule, and must be kept on-leash at all times.
