What to Expect on Your Family Tour
A Relaxed Setting
No heavy walking! Enjoy a peaceful, seated visit under the shade where we provide water and cookies.
Coloring & Stories
Have fun with our custom coloring pages and reading the unique rescue story of our featured donkey of the month.
The Donkey Quiz
Listen closely! At the end of the hour, kids can take a fun donkey quiz for a chance to win a special prize.
An Intimate, Gentle Experience
During this 1-hour experience, we bring the magic to you. Instead of walking through the paddocks, you can relax while we bring a gentle donkey out to say hello. Because we rotate the featured donkeys and coloring stories every few months, there is always a reason to come back and visit again!
- Ideal for kids under 8, pregnant guests, and older adults who prefer not to walk the grounds.
- Please let us know about any food allergies when booking so we can prep safe treats!
