Barnyard Babies Family Festival
Saturday, April 25, 2026
10 AM - 3 PM
Admission: $10 for ages 13 and up, $8 for ages 3-12, Free for ages 2 and under
Rain or Shine
Our popular signature event will be back on the last Saturday in April. Experience life on the farm with so much to see and do for all ages! All attractions are included in the cost of admission (except food and drink). Because of the farm animals, we ask that you do not bring your dogs (or other pets).
Meet some new furry friends and get reacquainted with your barnyard favorites - cows, sheep, pigs, goats, alpacas, horses, rabbits, chickens - a barnyard menagerie! Take a scenic train ride through the woods and around the pond. Ride ponies, learn how to harvest honey and dive into corn piles. Explore antique tractors and other farming equipment. Take a hay wagon ride to see Great American Kites' giant animal-shaped kites dance in the sky. Pretend you're in class in the 100-year-old one room schoolhouse. Relax and enjoy musical entertainment by "Shermie at the Piano." You won't go hungry with the variety of food vendors.

Plan Your Day
The event is rain or shine, 10 AM-3 PM. We recommend you arrive by at least 1:30 PM in order to have time to see the animals, ride the train and ponies, and see the kites. Entrance closes at 2:30 PM.
Wear comfortable walking shoes. You'll be walking mostly on grass and gravel paths. There's plenty of grassy and shady spots where you can sit and rest. Tables and chairs will be in the pavilion close to the food trucks. This is also where you park strollers and catch a hay wagon to go to the kite field. We love animals, but please leave your dogs (and other pets) at home - we cannot allow them in the barnyard with the farm animals.
