About
Us
Do you miss the opportunity to go to Grandpa's and Grandma's farm? The next best place is Erickson's
Petting Zoo of rural Osakis,MN. This 95-year-old farmstead used to be home to milk cows. Third generation farmers Dave and
Pam Erickson, alongwith their family- have converted the big red barn into a home for a wide variety of farm animals
and birds.
Animals include pygmy goats and their kidds,
sheep, minature horses, minature mules, Sara our llama, and her newborn son Sid, pigs, all kinds of rabbits, our own cat pen,
and Samson and Caesar the Alpaca's.
Birds include: many varities and
colors of chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants, peacock's, pigeons, and doves. We are open seasonally
full time. We do have some people come out during the winter. Just call ahead to set-up a time. Many
families, daycares, school groups and youth organizations have come to see us. Make plans now to come and visit us.
We keep our rates reasonable, so you can come back often. We are
USDA Licensed, inspected and insured farm. Animals like to be fed, (we have corn available for a small fee). Please remember
that animals have teeth, so need to be careful with little fingers. When you are finished petting the animals, we have
anti-bacterial hand sanitizer to wash your hands with. New
this year is our Bunny Land - special area for the kids to play and pet the rabbits. Another new area is our "Goat
Tower". Goats are natural climbers. With our goat tower- they have plenty of oppertunities to climb and entertain.
