Powered by GoogleOur school loved the Art Farm visit! Jen, who came to lead the program, was such a bright and warm person. She explained everything so well to the children and made the experience incredibly fun. She did a wonderful job working with our 3K and 4K classes, keeping everything calm, engaging, and safe for the students. We would absolutely love to have them come back again in the future. One thing to keep in mind is that you may not know exactly which animals will be visiting the school ahead of time, so it’s helpful to speak with them beforehand if you have specific questions about that.
My daughter Nyla absolutely LOVES the Art Farm. She has had two birthdays there which were amazing and so well organised. They have lovely themes to choose from. More recently, she attends their after school programs three times a week on campus and she always leaves absolutely beaming from whatever the project or meal (cooking class) or guest animal was. So so grateful and thrilled that we have such wonderful after-school options from the Art Farm available to us - could not recommend more
We have had such a wonderful experience with The Art Farm and our daughter! She started doing their afterschool programs and loved them so much! She has continued to do those, their holidays camps and summer camp. During all of these, the activities, staff, care and attention to our child has been amazing!! She loved them so much, she decided to have her birthday party at The Art Farm too which was an incredible experience! We had to postpone the original date due to our daughter waking up sick on the day of the party and the staff was amazing with all of this. We couldn’t be happier with all of their programming and highly recommend it!
My Son did his Second birthday at the art farm he had so much fun with his friends and family. The staff was excellent very sweet and friendly and had everything plan out for the kids and guest. Thank you again The Art Farm for making my son birthday wonderful
Such an amazing time and wonderful experience (even for two adults!!)!! I booked a private session with my friend to celebrate his recent engagement. We were shown around the place and introduced to the various animals they had. Our guide for the day was extremely kind, informative and helpful with handling the animals. The rabbits, snake, and geckos were probably our favorite to hold! Really amazing experience and I would highly recommend to any animal lovers of all ages!!
