Animal Adventures - Mommy & Me

Where Storytime Meets Real Life on the Farm

Our Mommy & Me – Farm Animals class is an immersive Barnyard Experience designed to spark curiosity and connection. Parents and children read from our very own published Barnyard books, enjoy themed coloring activities, and meet the real animals featured in the stories. After hands-on time in the exhibit, kids complete a fun craft and take home materials to continue learning and bonding beyond the Ranch. It’s a heartwarming blend of storytelling, sensory play, and unforgettable animal encounters.

Pony Adventures - Mommy & Me

Big Smiles, Little Boots, and Pony Time Magic

Pony & Me is a playful, hands-on experience designed for young children and their grown-ups to connect with our gentle ponies in a fun, themed setting. Each session includes age-appropriate horsemanship, pony care, and bonding activities—like brushing, feeding treats, or even painting a pony! Kids also enjoy a pony ride and wrap up the day with classic yard games on the lawn. It’s the perfect mix of learning, laughter, and unforgettable pony fun.
