Great spot for children from ages 3-8 otherwise they are too small or too big to enjoy the massive play structures area. The play structures aren't that big but they are numerous to keep children entertained. Cute goats and small animals but mostly just goats that you can pet and feed. Little innovation to keep coming back. I would visit once a year just to keep kids busy. Recent Easter weekend there was no thought to fill the muddy areas. Little thought to keep the train wagon open (closed due to mud issue) on the busy weekend. People came for the wagon rides. It's almost mandatory for children. Friendly young staff. But no service other than admissions and cafe. Some prices are outrageous. 2 mini pogo sticks for $3. Upon receiving the pogos, I was shocked to see how tiny they are. The size of my thumb. They should be priced at $2. They buy food from Costco and re-package them. Chicago mix popcorn cost $6 a large bag. They filled plastic containers with them and charge $2. Popcorn isn't expensive. So basically they are trying to get $60 from $6 bag. Not mentioning freshness issue. Once the bag is opened, it's not fresh anymore. Applesauce cups from Costco are resold for $1. They should be .75. Fruit cups at $1 is acceptable. Check expiration before purchasing due to slow selling due to prices. The fries appears to be baked and unsalted which is healthier. My children asked why the trains aren't going around in the cafe. The staff said the batteries died long time ago. Little thought was given to re-activate them for the busy Easter weekend. They received over 2,000 visitors that weekend, yet they wouldn't turn on the trains to entrain the children while they pay premium for cafe food. At least my kids got free cookies from the egg hunt. I wish admissions could be cheaper but I understand how they need to support themselves during off season.

We went yesterday to Valleyview Little Animal Farm. Our daughter is 1 year old and is hard for us not to be late to places. We arrived after the time we had reserved and the person at the entry was super understanding and let us in. 🫶 The place is full of attractions and stimulus specially for young kids. Lot of friendly animals to meet. There are a lot of creative signs warning to be careful. Safety first. There was one really funny: the real story, these are real animals, with real teeth, so be really careful. 🐴 They have a space with sand and a lot of trucks and shovels to play with. Our daughter loved it. All the slides and swings are super fun and with this rustic look that makes great pictures and allows kids to interact with natural materials.🛻 The Porky and his Peeps show (starts every half an hour) was very funny and instructive. Be aware, the fence has two buttons to activate the animals between shows, the one of the right activates the cow. After enjoying the chickens for a while, our daughter got scared of the cow mooing😅 The farm museum has a lot of interesting items and information. We played Checkers on a giant board they have. The train was not working when we were there. The cafeteria has very good service and food. We tried delicious chicken nuggets and fries 🍟 The gift shop is disposed in a very beautiful way and has cool items. There is a box with clearance products. Our daughter grabbed a book from there. They also have very cute Valleyview Little Animal Farm t-shirts, the smallest size is 2T. We got one in red for our little girl 👕 This is a very good place to spend time with the family and specifically for older kids. We will definitely come back. Thanks

Valleyview was a lovely place to spend a weekend morning walking around with a child. While the little one was, admittedly, more excited about the play structures than most of the animals, a great time was had by all! Really great setup as long as you don't have mobility issues. The different animal enclosures, play structures, etc. are all spread over a wide area, which means less crowding and more room for kids to be free and run around. The play structures are terrific. Any kid remotely interested in play structures will be in heaven. There are numerous structures with different activities and features - plenty to discover! The animals seem to be well cared for, which is always a key concern with places that invite the public to view their animals. The animals are also quite friendly, and animal loving kids (and adults) will love getting up close and personal with new furry friends. There is a 'train' ride (carts pulled by a tractor) that lasts around 5-7 minutes and is included in the admission price. More fun, and it's a neat way to see more of the surrounding area. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the cost. The price of admission was the same for children 23 months and up as it was for adults. I'm not sure if this is pandemic-only pricing, but it makes visiting with a large family less attractive. I'd take children 8 and under and expect them to have an absolute blast, but I don't think the older kids would get enough out of it to justify the cost (until they are older and have more interest in simple pleasures). Visiting in the spring is even more exciting, with baby animals all around!

Took my Grandson and daughter here today. What a fantastic little farm. So much to enjoy. Some Covid protocols in place. You must wear a mask to enter all inside areas, but can leave the mask off for outside areas. It is best to call and book ahead of time to purchase tickets. There are two time slots, one in the morning from 9 till noon and the other is from 12:30 pm till 4pm. ( I believe). There are so many outside play areas for the children and so much to enjoy. Lots of goats, cows, horses, chickens and a variety of other animals. There are several barns to enter to have a look back at machinery, and a slew of other fascinating items to see. Trust me, your child will not be bored. They have a ride through the outer farm for about 30 ppl at a time(approx.) There is plenty of clean washrooms and a souvenir shop, along with a place to buy ice cream, water and a few other snacks. I'm leaving out a lot, but this is a great place to visit with the children, you won't be disappointed. I'll post some picture from our afternoon. Cheers Enjoy! And Thank you Valleyview for an exceptional time here.

We had the most enjoyable time at Valleyview! It was very easy to get the tickets online, the entrance was quick (they had a list with our names, no need to scramble trying to find the ticket on your phone while you hold a baby). There were many animals like goats, pigs, poneys, cows, alpacas, peacocks, rabbits, and more. There were also plenty of playground structures, my son had a blast. The puppet show is in french and english. The train tour was a bit too short, and not much interesting things to see on the way, but we learned about the farm history which was cool. There is also a coffee shop (important, because sometimes you go thinking about getting a bite there and there is nothing), a souvenir shop and plenty of picnic tables in you prefer (outdoor and indoor).

Very nice farm to visit with your kids. My 18 month old enjoyed the visit a lot. Staff were super polite and always smiling.Super clean place. We will visit y'all again.There were baby goats, Pigs, Cows, Horses, Ponies, Donkeys, Rabbits, Phesents, Peacocks, Alpacas, Sheeps, Deers and Goats of unusual sizes were in the farm. The farm has a large play area as well. The 200 year old barn was a museum itself and lots of antiques were in various parts of the farm. Very educational for kids who love historical stuff. Suggestion to the management - If possible , try to put local dairy products available for visitors. Ex - Honey, cheese, Fresh milk etc .
