Wow! 20th year Celebration!

Hard to believe, that 2024 will be our 20th year that we have been hosting the public to our farm. Doing this thing called agritourism, where the public can come out to a real working farm to see the different animals and the activities that we have going on. Beside coming on out to the farm, we travel to many town festivals with our petting zoo and pony rides. Many have been going to for 12 - 15 years. Your loyalty is much appreciated. Summer is a busy time and most weekends are booked, but if are looking for a petting zoo, just email dave@ericksonspettingzoo.com, and I will let you know if something can be worked out.

SPRING ON THE FARM

May 14th, from 11:00am - 2:00pm, will be a special celebration of all the new babies on the farm. Will be giving tractor and hay ride, horse and wagon ride, barrel train ride, pony rides, Pony Hops, along with our large playground. Come on out for a special and fun day.

Anderson's Florist

This weekend, April 9 & 10, from 9:00am - 4:00pm, will be set up at Anderson’s Florist & Greenhouse in Alexandria, Mn. It is their annual Palm Sunday Open House event is free to the public. Come on out and browse their garden center. Check out our bouncy sheep and goats.

Warmer Weather

Waiting for warmer weather, so we can open. Once that comes and every things dry up. In the meantime, thankful for all the requests for our travelling petting zoo. Going to be a busy summer. Also, planning on a fun day here at the farm on May, 14th. Stay tuned for all the details!

SPRING ON THE FARM

In the past we have celebrated the Spring babies, with our farm being open the day before Easter and having an Easter Egg Hunt. Even with Easter being late this year, (April 16th), with all the snow - going to hold off until May 14th. Have some new activities for parents and kids. With the better chance of nicer weather, looking forward to a fun day and season.

Another Year

Another year for Erickson’s Petting Zoo, being open on the farm (when it gets warmer!) and travelling with our mobile petting zoo. We ended up with a very good year last year and looking forward to that again this year. Quite a few dates are already booked for the summer. Just check with us to see if it will work. We go to the edge of the Cities, but not in.

May 21, 2021 Feels like a new beginning.

Our first traveling petting zoo of 2021 is tomorrow. With very few last year and none this spring, seems like we are starting over. Will be at Rejuv Medical, 901 3rd St. North, Waite Park, MN. from 8:30am - 11:00am. Very few weekend days left - just contact us to see if we are available. Many dates during the week for Assisted Living Centers and Nursing Homes. Even when we travel, we are still open ere on the farm. Pony rides won’t be available.

April 28, 2021

Bookings are coming in nicely this year. Have 13 different petting zoo’s and pony rides lined up so far. Several of those are multiple days. Still a couple weekends left, plus can do petting zoo’s during the week. Just check out our mobile petting zoo page to see if we are booked or not.
