Dragonfly Acres Farm — Attraction in Crofton

I brought my 9month old a couple of times to Magic Mondays, which is quickly becoming our tradition! Once you park you walk up the beautiful tree lined driveway and you’ll find a table with info in front of the white garage where you can make your $5 donation and then start meeting the animals! If you go to the right you’ll meet the larger animals… if you go to the left and down by the smaller enclosures you’ll find the ducks and other small animals.

I love that it’s not overwhelming or crowded- there are a couple pigs, the sweetest horse ever, a pony, donkey, ducks, etc. There are usually some snacks that the animals can have (make sure to ask what each animal can have as I’m aware at least one animal needs a special diet so kids innocently picking grass and feeding could make them very sick).

The owner is sooo welcoming and helpful! She called over the donkey and pony for the kids and gave them treats. I love that there is a handwashing station as well and that she allows strollers (which many places do not) although we didn’t end up using it after the first visit and instead use a baby carrier.

Great place for an afternoon with...

As an animal lover-especially farm animals-I had my 26th birthday party here with family and close friends, and it was INCREDIBLE! The tour of the animals was fantastic - there was plenty of farm animal interaction (petting, feeding treats, brushing, etc.) and my friends who had never been up close to farm animals felt comfortable. Sharlee shared each animals story and personality, as well as answering my many questions. It is very clear how much she loves and takes care of these animals. We interacted with a horse, ponies, a donkey, pigs, ducks, chickens, and goats!

After the tour portion finished, my family, friends, and I had a great time celebrating on the farm property - Sharlee had set up a volleyball net, multiple picnic tables, and a firepit for smores.

Sharlee was also great to work with setting up the party - she answered all my questions beforehand, and I felt like I could just enjoy the evening. A great...

Perfect place to take children and adults to learn and see farm animals. Unlike petting zoos who have animals just for show, Dragonfly is a home for the abused and neglected animals to recover and have a safe wonderful life. Sharlee is a expert with the animals are will go above and beyond to teach children the importance of taking proper care of the animals while at the same time making it a fun and educational experiance. From the beginning to the end you feel like your part of the farm. She is so welcoming and great with kids you feel like you've visited family instead of a farm. The care and passion she put into the animals is beyond amazing equal only to the passion she has to teach and show people the wonders of being around these amazing creatures. This is a must do if you have kids or have nephews nieces or grandchildren visit. We will defenently be back. Thank you for a great experience we...
