Mandalay Farms

About

A private 20-acre farm offering guided tours and animal encounters with miniature horses, farm animals, and exotic species. Owner Karin created this oasis to give kids hands-on experiences with animals in a tranquil setting away from technology. Visits happen through annual memberships with unlimited access or private guided tours. Your family gets personalized interactions with their animal ambassadors, and they offer birthday parties and special events. The farm also breeds registered miniature horses and focuses on creating meaningful connections between kids and animals.

  Birthday Party
  · Sunday· Free

  Mandalay Farms runs a breeding program on Sundays where kids ages 4 and up can interact with and learn about a variety of animals in a peaceful, nature-filled setting that's all about building real connections between kids and the creatures there. It's totally free, which makes it a great way to get your family off screens and back outside together without breaking the bank. The whole vibe is about helping kids experience the healing power of nature and understand how special the bond between humans and animals can be, and your visit actually supports their work with at-risk youth and kids with special needs through the Mandalay Farms Zoological Society. This isn't your typical loud, crowded petting zoo experience—it's designed to feel like a private oasis where interactions are more meaningful and unhurried.
