Tours

The animals at Farm Sanctuary love visitors as much as you'll love touring our farm animal shelters! Our sanctuaries are home to hundreds of rescued cows, pigs, turkeys, and other farm animals…and each has a special story to tell. After meeting our farm animal friends, visitors can browse through our education center, filled with literature, videos, displays, and cruelty-free gift items.

Tour times
Guided tours are held on Saturdays, every hour from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., from May through October.

Note: We will be closed for public tours Saturday, May 19.

Prices:
Adults: $5
Children under 12: $3
Children under 3: Free

Companion Animals
For their safety and the safety of our animal residents, companion animals are not allowed on guided tours or on the shelter at any time. Dogs are welcome in our Visitor Center, provided they are on a leash, however they may not be left unattended in our visitor center. Please do not leave companion animals inside of your vehicle while you are visiting, as temperatures inside of a vehicle can reach life threatening conditions very quickly, even with windows opened. If you are planning on bringing your companion animal to Farm Sanctuary, please make sure that you have someone to watch them while you are touring our shelter. Thank you for your cooperation.
