Butterfield Acres Petting Farm

Animals were lovely, staff were friendly, facility was clean. Having fire pits was a great way to warm up. We also really appreciated the flavorful hot chocolate. Pony and tractor rides were great but extremely short. We did not realize we had designed times for pony or tractor rides as our reservation did not show up at the front desk. However, they were very supportive and got us what we needed for a great visit.

Had an amazing time and totally worth the money. Went with two other adults.
I will suggest if you plan on getting close to the animals make sure you don’t wear nice clothes and have proper closed shoes. All the animals look well taken care of and healthy. Staff was friendly and always walking around cleaning up or taking care of the animals. We will be back in the summer. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

I’ve been going to Butterfield Acres since I was a kid in Girl Guides and when I felt nostalgic for it later I went back and rediscovered how absolutely unimaginably perfect it is. I have spent several birthdays there with pals just cuddling baby goats. Since then I’ve been showing so many friends who have either not been since they were children or have never been at all and every single time I get to witness them experience TRUE and UNADULTERATED joy. Many of these friends have gone on to have trips to Butterfield for their birthdays too!
I just had a particularly wonderful and special experience renting a unicorn for my birthday gathering and I literally don’t care how old you are, it is impossible not to have a Serotonin overdose when you’re petting a little unicorn covered in flowers. So I can HIGHLY recommend doing this if you love ponies or unicorns or both. Just do it for the photos ALONE!
Thank you to Emma who was Rainbows (yes the unicorns name is Rainbow) handler. She was so welcoming, kind, knowledgeable and could not have spoken more highly of working at Butterfield. She was so so cool and made the experience even more wonderful!
Thank you Butterfield Acres and everyone who makes your little farm happen, may you stick around forever so I can keep having birthdays here until I’m an old hag.
