Our Petting Zoo
Westphalia Trading Co. ... where the fun keeps growing
Due to the coronavirus, our spring season was cancelled. Please make plans to come visit us this fall!
___________________________________________________________________________________
Our petting zoo is a great place to bring your family, grandchildren or your group or class!
In addition to our goats, miniature ponies, peacocks, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, ducks, homing pigeons, sheep and miniature donkeys, we have a story book hiking trail, train, corn box with slide and diggers, rubber-duck races, family-friendly games, a small playground and a picnic area. We have a sound garden and a train! We also have a concession stand that's open on weekends (not during field trips.) Plus, there's Farmer Bryan's Play Place in the upstairs of the main barn!
We advise that you wear sturdy shoes (not flip flops or sandals) so you can enjoy the walk around our farm.
Spend the day and don't leave hungry - pick up some delicious food at our concession stand, The Food Bin!
Birthday Parties and Field Trips
If you'd like to schedule a birthday party for a weekend or a class field trip during the week (during our open seasons), use our reservation form below. Teachers - we have a special deal for field trips (Psst...teachers get in for free and everyone gets a discounted rate plus a free bag of goat feed. NOTE: Must have a group of at least 25 paying guests to reserve a field trip.) Most classes spend about two hours at the zoo, including eating their lunch or a snack here. Please allow extra time to go through the maze as well--there's lots of fun to be had, and learning to be done there!

In 2019 we had our first corn maze. We hope you liked it! This fall, in 2020, we hope it will be even better! We have a hay ride that will take you to the maze as well as around it for a longer ride!

Donkeys, goats, chickens, ponies, ducks, peacocks, sheep, homing pigeons, rabbits, a goose and turkeys - our animals are friendly and ready to say hello to you! Our animals are in pens so that they can enjoy their day and you can enjoy yours. Of course they like to be petted and fed, but if you're not the type to want to get up close and personal with a goat, you don't have to be. Goat feed is available for sale by the bag or in the vending machines.
