The Heritage Park Petting Farm offers a hands-on experience for the young or just young at heart in a unique park atmosphere. A knowledgeable staff is on hand to assist and make your visit a memorable one. Meet Sonora the cow who likes to give kisses. Looking for something soft and fuzzy? A farm attendant can introduce you to our baby chicks and a wide variety of bunny rabbits to see and touch. Children, wearing proper footwear (gym shoes or boots), can walk around the stalls of the goats, sheep and piglets. THE FARM IS OPEN YEAR ROUND and each season brings interesting changes. The barn is heated to provide warmth for our guests and animals. Winter visits provide a fun family outing when kids get cabin fever.
Welcome Center The Welcome Center, located on the north east corner of Northline and Pardee roads in Taylor, is the main entrance to the farm. Inside the welcome center is the activity
room which is used for birthday parties and field trips. Souvenirs may be purchased at the front counter. During special events, guests gather around the activity room fireplace for crafts and refreshments. Check the Events page for upcoming dates and times.
Nature Pond Just beyond the welcome center, the pond is home to koi fish, frogs, turtles and aquatic plant life. Visitors can walk out onto the deck to get a closer look at turtles basking in the sun. Many waterfalls provide the perfect spot for wild ducks to swim and play.
Big Red Barn The full size barn is home to goats, sheep, alpacas, ponies, cows, donkeys, rabbits, chickens, and piglets. Guests can view and interact with the animals under the guidance of our staff.
