The Urban Farm is such a wonderful place! I highly recommend reserving an Animal Meet and Greet. We got to meet the cows and it was such a lovely experience! Andrea was absolutely amazing and taught us all about the animals on the farm! We had a perfect day, and we will be going back soon!

This place is super cute! The farm was full of happy youths tending to animals and helping out in the farm spaces. I went with a friend and her kids. It gives you a nice selection for smaller kids to roam around without being too long. Baby goats are extra friendly.

Fun I went there on a field trip and everyone was very nice and welcoming so were all the animals I was thinking about asking if I could go with my family to see if they'd enjoy it too. There were also so many baby animals that were too cute.
