Madison | Havens Small Animal Farm 🐑🦙🐎🐓🐈🦃🦢🐫

Havens Petting Farm: Cuddly Lambs, Sassy Ostriches, and a Day of Animal Fun Near Madison 🐑 Last week, I headed to Havens Petting Farm with friends, and it turned out to be the coziest, most chaotic (in the best way) animal adventure near Madison. For a super affordable price, you get to pet, hold, and even feed a whole menagerie of creatures—plus, there are way too many funny moments to count. Here’s the lowdown: 💰 The Basics: Budget-Friendly Fun Admission: Only $8 per person—total steal for how much interaction you get. Feeding cones: $5 for 6 cones, which is perfect for bribing (read: bonding with) the hungriest animals. The best part? Almost every animal here is super friendly—they don’t shy away from pets, and some even beg for attention. Lambs and bunnies? You can pick them up and cuddle them right in your arms. It’s pure joy for anyone who loves fuzzy creatures. 🐾 Our Favorite (and Funniest) Animal Encounters Every animal had its own personality—here are the standouts: Lambs 🐑: Total sweethearts, but sneaky! The one I held was so gentle… until it started nibbling my shirt. And when we offered a cone? One lamb bit right through it in one go. Chaos, but cute chaos. Ponies 🐎: We saw a pony lying flat on the ground like it’s given up on dreams (relatable), a massive black stallion that looked straight out of a movie, and two white ponies that might’ve been a couple. Cow 🐂: This guy had the wildest “punk rock” hairstyle—we couldn’t stop laughing at its messy fringe. Alpaca 🦙: Big, fluffy, and with the most innocent eyes. It let us pet its wool for ages. Ostrich 🦃: Do not mess with it. Its peck hurts—trust me, I learned the hard way. Camel 🐫: Loudest. Call. Ever. And not in a nice way. We jumped the first time it brayed. Cats 🐱: The farm has free-roaming kitties! One black cat even propped a paw on the food bucket like it was showing off. So chill, you can pick them up too. Geese 🦢: Looked like they owned the place—we gave them a wide berth. Chicks 🐤: Tiny, fluffy, and chirping nonstop. Perfect for little hands (and big hands, too). 📌 Final Verdict: A Must for Animal Lovers Havens Petting Farm is the perfect low-key day out from Madison. It’s cheap, interactive, and full of hilarious animal moments—from shirt-nibbling lambs to 耍帅 (show-off) cats. Whether you’re with friends, family, or just need a pick-me-up, this farm delivers. Pro tip: Bring hand sanitizer (you’ll need it after all the petting!) and wear old clothes—those lambs mean business with their nibbles. #UniversityofWisconsinMadison #MadisonWI #Wisconsin #PettingFarm #MadisonDayTrip #AnimalLovers #CuddleWithAnimals #MadisonExplored #WisconsinAdventures
