Animal Petting Zoo

There’s always plenty to do at Bauman’s Farm & Garden! Part of the fun of visiting a farm is interacting with the animals. At Bauman’s, we’ve got an array of cute animals to pet during a shopping visit at the farm store and garden center. There are a few rules that apply to keep you and our animals safe and happy! By visiting the Petting Zoo, you agree to abide to these rules as well as the stated hours of operation.

Hours: Monday – Saturday, 9:00am to 4:30pm
CLOSED on Sundays & Holidays
Note: Petting Zoo closes at 4:30pm, 30 minutes prior to the farm store and farm.

Petting Zoo Rules:

  • Respect the Animals

    Please treat the animals with respect and kindness. This is their home. Please do not yell at the animals or bang on their enclosure. Do not throw objects into their habitats. We want our animals to remain friendly, curious and safe.

  • Respect Your Boundaries

    Please do not cross over any fences or barriers unless asked to do so. You may reach through the fence to pet the animals, but do not try to pick up or force the animals to come to you. Many of our animals are very friendly and curious!

  • Do Not Feed the Animals

    Our animals are on a specific feeding schedule and regiment to promote their health and well-being. Human food can make our animals sick. Please refrain from feeding our animals unless doing so with one of our staff members with approved animal feed.

  • No Smoking or Vaping

    To decrease fire hazards and ensure the safety and health of our guests, staff, and animals, smoking is not permitted inside or around the zoo and on the property. This includes the parking lot.

  • Children Must Be Supervised at All Times

    Kids love to explore our farm and see all we have to offer! However, we want your kiddos to stay safe while visiting Bauman’s Farm & Garden. Do not wander off further into areas that are production facilities of the farm. These are off-limits for non-employees.  Please help keep your kids safe and make sure anyone under the age of 16 is always accompanied by an adult while visiting Bauman’s Farm & Garden.

  • Always Remember to Wash Your Hands Before and After

    Participating in our petting zoo is so much fun, but animals can carry germs that aren’t good for humans to ingest. Please make sure you wash your hands before AND after petting our animals at the petting zoo.

Most importantly, have fun!
