Went online to check out reviews prior to going and many people shared that they had a blast. Decided to take my squad and meet up with a friend. It was a nice day and the arboretum and trails looked great. But, I was disappointed to see that the playground was tapped off (see in the background photos of my boys). Yet, the stage under the gazebo was used as a haybell playground by ALL the children who visited the farm. Some of the animals were outside but you could not enter the barn areas, nor could food be purchased to feed the goats. Staff and volunteers were friendly. They only seemed bothered when my toddler slid his way into one of the barns. LolOverall, We made the best of our time.If you’re planning on visiting, I would suggest making a picnic out of visiting but don’t expect much by ways of playing on equipment or hanging with the animals.

I love taking my son here. The peacocks running around are awesome. And on a nice day you can feed all the animals and pet them. They do a lot of good here for the animals and rescues!

This is such a great park/farm.There are a lot of different animals and a lot of room to walk. Perfect for children and free. Bring some quarters so you can buy some animal food for the goats and lamas!

Great place to go to get kids out of the house and into nature. Educational and free. Friendly and informative staff. We go there as often as we can.

Nice petting zoo. You cannot get in the pen with the animals but they have nice paths around the pens. The food can be purchased in the barn for $1.00 for a small bag. The flowers are beautiful and the park is well kept. They have a donkey, horses, pigs, cows, goats, alpacas, and either emu or ostrich Im not sure which.

Its close to a lot of other stuff yet still has a nature feel. Because of the virus you cant feed the animals or go in some of the buildings. They have done some nice upgrades like a new bathroom building and are updating one of the animals enclosures. There fall festival is a ton of fun. If youve never been check this place out.

Im thinking about bringing my kids here but I have somewhat of a safety issue concern are any staff members watching the peacocks while they are out roaming free ? While people are walking throughout the park with their children I wouldnt want anyone getting hurt.

Rundown, in need of serious updating. Animals are overfed. None of the buildings are open, and thirds info is publicized. Sad to see a Red-Tailed Hawk and a Great Northern Owl in cages so small flying is impossible.

This is a great, and free, place to bring kids! Even if you have real little ones (we have a 15 month old) they will certainly enjoy themselves here. They have a rather large playground that was packed with kids on a Saturday afternoon as well as an assortment of farm animals including horses, goats, pigs and a coop with chickens. Parking is free and they have a covered picnic area for large groups. Just make sure to bring your own snacks and refreshments as it doesnt look like their snack bar is up and running.

If you are looking for a free place to take the kids to entertain them this is a great place. The playground is always a big hit. The animals are a big hit with the pretty peacocks being the center of most attention. Highly recommended for those nice days to get out of the house.

A source of inspiration for any animal rescue. Theyre sitting the standard for what quality Care could look like for an animal. And while theyre still improving its only due to the growth pains of any organization. Oh and by the way its FREE to you completely.One of the leading causes for this success is the excellent care that the staff as well as volunteers take in caring for the animals. With different backgrounds experiences and inspirations.So what kind of animals will we see? A mix of barn yard animals from chickens to cows and a few you didnt expect! Like emus, sulcata tortoises, owl, and snakes. As well as so much more. This mix allows for a good time no matter what kinda animal enthusiast you may be.Now lets talk amenities they feature:*Restrooms, a Pavilion, play ground area, and parking.Lastly because of the amount of time and effort that gos into this please tell the staff and volunteers what you think of the place. It could really make their day.

Always a fun place to take the kids! Plenty of animals to feed and pet, cute spots to take pictures, and a very nice childrens park! Only concern - some of those fly bites on the animals looked pretty bad and needed more care.

Love going here. Hanging out with and petting the animals. Helping children get over the fear them. This place is a God Send for me and my PTSD. Thanks Bluebird. A side question. I thought there were coin-op feed vendors on the site? I havent seen any of them this year.

This is one of my family’s absolute favorite places! We’re homeschoolers and really appreciate the waterfowl program. Really all of the aspects of Bluebird Gap Farm make us VERY happy! We get such a fun and enjoyable experience with SO much education sprinkled in!! We’d love to see them be able to add more!!! We want more. ️️️

Lovely little spot right off 64. Well-maintained playground and many friendly animals. Bring some cash for the vending machine to buy food for the animals! Small snack shack for human food, but your welcome to bring your own picnic lunch. Great for younger kids.

I am trying to get the kids out during the whole covid19 deal to get them outside more, so I decided to go here. We went around 10am and there was a good handful of people there. There isnt a good amount of social distancing going on since everyone and every kid likes to stop and view the animals all at the same time. A small bit of a problem was another small kid coughed in my daughters face and with the virus going on, you can get a bit paranoid because of it. There wasnt much animal activity going on except the goat area. The barn wasnt opened yet because of feeding. Also the play ground is closed. So maybe going at a different time of the day the animals will all be out and there wouldnt be much people activity either. But the other times we did go there prior to covid19, the farm is an awesome place to go.

Its great andits free. I take my kids here as often as possible. Bring $1 for animal feed. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add snack and drink machines as well as another drinking fountain, otherwise we LOVE the place

I take my son here quite often, if you want to feed the animals . Go in mornings. After a certain time they run out of food. And they will not refill that way animals are not overfeed. Food is in vending machine inside stables and cost a dollar per bag. It accepts cash or coins. Also if you walk a distance back toward your left upon entrance there are huge tortoises, duck pond and few other bird exhibits. They do not have deer anymore. For free these place is maintain well.

Everything about this park is great. We loved the farm and the play ground. The animals seem pretty happy and the care takers are very kind and invited all the kids to come and watch the animals be fed. My one year old loved the peacocks and had a lot of fun following them.

Excellent place to enjoy of playground for children and see and learn about farm animals and plants. Best place to take children and enjoy your day.It has picnic tables and stage.good place to celebrate birthday parties (reservation needed). We always donate to support the farm. The only thing it would be nice to have a sound barrier wall next to the arboretum to reduce the noise from I-64.
