Duke Petting Farm Opens Friday, saturday and Sunday only
THE PETTING FARM is CLOSED FOR SEASON
Our animals are very friendly and love to be fed and touched. Learn about chickens, hens, rabbits, goats, donkeys, alpacas, Llamas and more. Imagine hands-on learning with our animals as your teachers. Children are able to ride a pony and hand lead some of the other animals. Don't forget your camera because our critters love getting their picture taken.
THE PLAY GROUND
Our farm has a main playground for smaller children as well as a mid size animal play area where boys can be boys! They can run and jump on the hills and chase each other around our pond. Play in the log cabins and chase a duck.
THE BUNNY HOUSE
KIDS Can be hands on with our animals! We have a bunny house where they can pet and feed our little bunnies!
OUR COTTAGE HOUSE AND PAVILION
Our cabin is open to the public and also used as a theme for holiday parties, You may see Santa on the porch or the Easter bunny hiding eggs. Great for family pictures and holiday get togethers. Bring the kids and have lunch under the pavilion. Read a book by the water or hold a bunny- it is up to you!
PONY RIDES
Our colorful and well-behaved ponies are trained and nurtured by our kind volunteers. The ponies can accommodate most kids under 75 pounds. Pony rides at the farm are only $3 per pony.
The goal for Duke Farm kids camp is for youngsters to safely learn good horsemanship and animal husbandry while having a great time on a family-oriented farm. Activities and programs also teach responsibility, cooperation, courage and self-esteem. New friends, positive values, personal growth, great adventures, and OUTRAGEOUS FUN are the foundations of the Duke Farm experience! This program is designed to provide instruction which will enable all students to gain confidence and precision in working with horses and other animals under a wide range of conditions.
