Welcome the arrival of Spring with our BABY ANIMALS FESTIVAL! Meet our newest farm babies – lambs, piglets, calves, chicks and kids (goats, that is)–and enjoy events and activities throughout the Village, from daily talks about the farm and the Shakers to craft demonstrations to walks along the Farm & Forest Trail. To allow enough time for your visit, please arrive at the Village between 11am-3:00pm.
General admission is $20 for adults, $8 for youths ages 13-17 and children 12 and under are free.
You can pre-purchase general admission tickets below or buy them when you arrive. NOTE: when pre-purchasing tickets, you are not eligible for NARM, Library Pass, EBT, AAA and certain other discounts. Discounted tickets can be purchased on-site.
We also offer a very special BEHIND-THE-SCENES tour each day at 10am!
Hop aboard our wagon hayride and take your hour-long tour and get all the dirt about our farm from the farmers themselves. Learn about the history of the Shaker Village and farm including little known facts and secrets and pet the newest and cutest members of our family. The tour will take you to see the animals in the Round Stone Barn, Dairy Ell, and barnyard where you’ll meet this year’s calves, lambs, kids, piglets, and chicks. After the tour, you are welcome to re-visit the barn and explore the rest of the Village, which opens to the general public at 11 am. Please note that only ONE tour will be given each day to a single group of up to 20 people. Tickets must be reserved in advance and sell-out fast. Tickets are non-refundable.
Baby Animals is made possible with generous support from lead sponsor ROAM: an Xtina Parks Gallery. Additional sponsorship support provided by Guardian and The Red Lion Inn.
