First, there are animals, or to be more specific, goats, horses and chickens. If you’ve never been there they will give you a 20-30 tour of the place, show you how to pet or hold the animals, how to tell if their happy, scared, sad, angry, stuff like that. At the top of the barn there is an owl in a box. It has a hole in it so it can fly in and out of the box/nest. There is also a rope or a flat rope over a pond. If you want to cross side to side, you can either go on the rope, or, go around the pond. Next to the pond is the/a camping site. There is also a bone fire where you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores. Overall I had an amazing experience and there. P.S, if you are not interested see to sleeping anywhere other than your bed, then you might have a hard time sleeping like I did. I highly recommend you going there with family or friends.

Went here for my bachelorette, the staff and the owners went above and beyond my expectations. We did a photo shoot with pumpkins on our heads that the staff worked very hard to get for us. They literally made my night complete. Thank you so much to everyone.
A cute little farm that has a few goats, a few ducks, some chickens, and a ton of horses. Navigating through the farm was a little tricky as no one greeted us and no one made it known that they work there and are available for questions - the 5 people who were there all looked like visitors as well. There is some signage posted reminding visitors of rules but there could definitely be an improvement on signage for where the goats, ducks, and chickens are as well as which areas people are allowed to go through. If visitors were hesitant in opening the gates that directly lead to where the chickens or goats rest, they wouldn't know that they could actually go in. This was particularly the case when we went as it was a wetter day and the goats and chickens were resting in their shelter, making it harder to locate them as first-time visitors. It's a nice place to check out once for the farm but definitely not a recommendation for a petting farm. Maplewood Farm in North Van would be best for that.
We love this farm! So many awesome animals and experiences for the kids. The staff is very friendly and welcoming!
Fun and educational for the kids. I come here often when the kids were young. My youngest who started preschool had a field trip here and I forgot how awesome it was. There’s a pile of awesomeness at the entrance as well! The pigs moved to Richmond, was looking forward seeing them.
This farm locates in Dunbar-Southlands area. It's a very small farm. Kids can go there for the pony rides. Support your local farm! BTW, you may take a pumpkin home before you leave the farm.
Good place, kids can enjoy pony ride and pet other farm animals, private horse riding lessons are also available.
It's ok. It is mostly a place for horse riding lessons with a farm-ish wrapped around. Smaller than expected and no actual pumpkin patch to speak of. Pumpkins were just scattered about. The chickens and ducks are tucked away in a somewhat dark, gloomy and not well kept corner. The rope swing was the highlight. There are other farms in and around the city that are far better for animal interactions.
Hidden Farm on Marine Drive. Entry is usually by donation they have many horses, chickens, goats and a garden. I had great experiences with the staff there and they were very eager to educate about the animals. During October they also have pumpkin picking for $5 a pumpkin
Don’t bother booking online, makes no sense. We booked pony ride for 1230 to 1pm got there at 1220 and we’re told we had to wait for the pony ride at 145????!! What sense does this make? Be prepared to wait! The pony ride is also more like 2 to 3 minutes for $15 it was fun for 4 year old but wasted way too much time. Nothing to do while you’re waiting, a few chickens and ducks u can look at through a cage can’t go in and can look at some horses Edit : management reached out and explained about new staff and rectified issues, would recommend based on customer service and hopefully this doesn’t happen anymore :
