It’s time to spring into the sweetest spring fun with the most adorable event of the year! Bring your ‘babies’ to the Butterfield Acres Spring Babies Festival and meet all the brand-new animal babies on the farm. It’s a day filled with the excitement of new life, hands-on experiences, farm fun, and fresh air!
It’s easy to give your city kids a chance to visit a farm, as Butterfield Acres is located just on the NW edge of the city. Children who love animals, love visiting Butterfield Acres! Visit with the goats, sheep, and bunnies. Take a pony ride and listen to what a donkey’s hee-haw really sounds like. Adore the new babies, feed the critters, and enjoy the outdoors. Learning about animals through the seasons can offer valuable lessons for kids, from love and respect to interesting facts.
The Spring Babies Festival at Butterfield Acres celebrates this sweet new life and runs on Saturdays and Sundays from April 5 – 20, 2025. (Plus, they are open for Good Friday on April 18, 2025.) Take pictures with the baby lambs, bunnies, piglets, chicks, goats, and cows. Snuggle in and you might even get to help with bottle feeding! Each weekend is filled with the cutest family fun you’ll find this spring. On Easter weekend, April 18 – 20, 2025, you can even visit the Easter Bunny!
The Spring Babies Festival at Butterfield Acres is one of the most popular events of the year, so you’ll need to purchase your tickets ahead of time. Tickets are valid for the 2-hour time window you book and include visits with all the new baby animals. While visiting the spring babies, you can also enjoy the fire pits, add some s’mores or a pony ride for the little ones, and get a ticket for a family ride on the big wagon behind the tractor. (You can even book a private ride!)
It’s time for the sweetest spring fun on the farm this April! Make some memories with your little family as you visit your favourite farm families at Butterfield Acres’ Spring Babies Festival. A day spent outside on the farm is good for the soul.
