Upon entering the farm, I was greeted by a variety of animals that instantly captured my attention. The selection of animals at the farm is impressive, and it is evident that they are being well taken care of. From majestic peacocks proudly displaying their vibrant plumage to chickens happily clucking around, every corner of the farm offered a new and exciting sight. One of the highlights of the visit was the llama enclosure. These gentle creatures exuded a sense of calmness and curiosity, making them a favorite among visitors. It was a joy to observe their unique personalities and interactions with each other. The farm also housed a charming group of pigs and guinea pigs. The pigs were relaxed and chubby, and it was evident that they were receiving proper care and attention. The guinea pigs, with their adorable squeaks and soft fur, added an element of cuteness to the overall experience. What impressed me the most about the Beacon Hill Park Children's Farm was the evident dedication to animal welfare. The animals appeared healthy and content, and their enclosures were clean and well-maintained. The staff members were knowledgeable and approachable, readily answering any questions visitors had about the animals or their care. For families with children, the farm offers an educational and interactive experience. There are opportunities to pet and feed some of the animals under the supervision of the staff, allowing children to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for these creatures. The farm also hosts educational programs and activities, further enriching the visit. In addition to the animal exhibits, the farm is surrounded by the stunning beauty of Beacon Hill Park. Visitors can take leisurely walks, enjoy the well-maintained gardens, and even have a picnic on the park grounds. The combination of the farm and the park creates a well-rounded outing for individuals and families alike. Overall, my visit to the Beacon Hill Park Children's Farm was a delightful experience. The range of animals, their excellent care, and the beautiful park setting all contributed to a memorable and enjoyable visit. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an animal lover, or a parent looking for a fun and educational outing, I highly recommend a visit to this charming farm.

We walked up to Beacon Hill Park from the inner harbor. It was a leisurely walk about 25 mins. We arrived at the Children Farm early and had some time to marvel at the menagerie of chickens. We gawked at the fluffy babies, the cool polka dotted ones and the ones with the big hair! The keepers were busy giving them their balanced diet of fruits and veggies. All of a sudden about 50 people arrived in numerous vehicles! I knew the show was about to begin. The ‘show’ is the running of the goats, and people come from all over to see it. That was why we found ourselves there too! The gates opened and over a hundred of us waited eagerly to give our donation to enter (suggested 5 for adults) but everyone is welcome regardless of your ability to pay. The old hands on deck directed us to stand along the fence rails and clap our hands! Before we knew it there were 40 or so goats zooming by! There were smiles all around, young and old alike. That was the best 37 seconds of my day! The littles ran after the goats to the petting zoo and got their pet on. The facility is cute and well equipped with a variety of animals and plenty of hand washing stations for when you are done. Great little side trip and the kiddies loved it!

My kids spent at least an hour in the goat pen and it was an effort to get them to move on. It was the highlight for sure. I liked the board with all the lineages, and finding which babies belonged to which mamas. It was very sweet how often we found even older siblings resting together. We had no idea what to expect for the morning goat stampede but it was quite entertaining in it’s own way! The goat pen is the tidiest one I have ever been in for this type of thing. Staff very actively cleaning up droppings and adding clean wood shavings. Quite impressive to be honest, I’m used to dodging poop whenever we’ve been at similar goat/animal petting areas. Otherwise, my kids liked the chickens and the peacocks, especially when one peacock inside the farm was trying to intimidate another one outside. Suggested donation is $4/kid and $5/adult. Masks are required for the goat stampede and in the goat pen.

This petting zoo is a must for kids and adults alike from 1 to 101. Parking is available right beside the entry. Entry is by donation. Featuring some exotic animals as well as common farm animals its claim to fame is the running of the goats twice a day. The running of the goats is a riotous fun event with baby goats galore! They are playful and love to be interacted with. A must for the younger kids or the young at heart. The peacocks are always a beautiful addition to a visit to the park along with the very interesting chickens and ducks. The staff are incredibly nice and very knowledgeable. If you are visiting Victoria or Beacon Hill itself, this stop is a blast and shouldn't be missed!

What a cute little diversion to pay a visit to especially if you are with little children. It’s small and there is lots of parking nearby. Entrance is by donation and they have all sorts of animals including a petting area where goats are running around freely. Great photo opportunities too. It’s all part of the Beacon Hill park experience where you can take in a concert at the bandshell, walk amongst the forested areas, visit the rose garden, the man made lakes with ducks, mini golf putting green, soceer field, and go up to the highest point which is a lookout overlooking the views toward the Olympic mountains in the states.
