For its 56th season, Grant’s Farm welcomes a whole herd of baby animals to share with your kids during opening weekend April 17-18th! New additions this year include an Appaloosa horse, Red-Fronted lemur, Longhorn calf, two Mustang foals and two Scottish Highland cattle calves. The farm is also anticipating the birth of a number of fawns by early summer. Bring the kids down to feed a few of the more than 140 Pygmy goats already born this year!
“Each season our guests enjoy the new animals at the farm as well as familiar traditions, such as feeding the baby goats – a tradition that dates back to 1954 – the farm’s first year open to the public,” said Andy Elmore, general manager of Grant’s Farm.
Don't forget to take a spin on the new carousel installed last year--tickets are just $2! Take your family on a tour of the elphant barn for $5 each to met Bud and Mickey up close and in person. Tickets are available before the (free) elephant shows at 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
When you visit the Clydesdale barn, you can also stop for a professional photo with one of the horses.
