FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BIRTHDAY PARTIES AT THE CHILDREN’S FARM

Can you tell us about the layout of the party?

Your party rental is from 2:00pm to 5:00pm (or from 1:00pm to 4:00pm for March and November). Farm programming begins 30 minutes after your rental starts and lasts for about 60-75 minutes. During the program, you and your guests will enjoy a private guided tour of the farm, where both kids and adults can interact with our animals (Chickens, pigs, cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, ducks and rabbits). After the tour, your group will enjoy a 15-minute scenic hayrack ride around our 60+ acre farm. Once programming is complete, you’ll have time for food, cake, gifts, and more. Please be sure to have your party cleaned up and ready to depart by 5:10pm. Our staff needs time to prepare the space for upcoming events, and late departures will result in a $150 after-hours fee per hour. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in respecting our schedule.

What time should we tell our guests to arrive?

We recommend guests arrive at the start of your rental time. As the farm is open to the public before your rental, party hosts are encouraged to arrive up to one hour early to decorate. Please keep in mind that farm programming starts 30 minutes after your rental begins, and starting later may result in adjustments to the schedule.

Do you have a refrigerator or freezer space?

Unfortunately, we do not have refrigerator or freezer space available for party use.

Where should we park?

Upon arrival, party hosts should check in with the farm staff. They will then direct you to the best spot to park for unloading. After unloading, hosts must move their vehicle to the main parking lot. All guests should park in the main lot, which is on the right side as you enter the driveway. Please note: Our address spans both sides of Southwest Highway, so make sure guests head to the farm side (east side), not the lodge side (west side).

How should we dress?

Please remind your guests to dress appropriately for the weather, as our party space is not heated. Our birthday parties are held rain or shine, so be sure everyone is prepared for the elements!

How do we pay?

To secure your party date, a $50 nonrefundable deposit is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due upon departure. We accept cash, check, or credit card. Please note that a $150 after-hours fee per hour applies if your group stays more than 10 minutes past the scheduled end time.

Can we make a fire?

Absolutely! Firewood is available at the side of the building, just behind the fireplace. The farm staff will provide one starter log, but you’ll need to bring your own lighter and take care of starting and maintaining the fire. Come prepared to enjoy it!

Can I serve food?

Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own food or have it delivered. Please note that we don’t have kitchen facilities or coolers available for use. Also, alcohol is not permitted on the property.

Can I grill food?

Yes, we have a grill available for use! Just let us know when booking if you’d like access to the grill, and we’ll make sure it’s ready for you.
