Frequently Asked Questions
Can I touch all three animals?
Our staff will guide you on appropriate interactions with each animal. Some may allow gentle touching while others are best observed up close. Safety for both guests and animals is our priority!
Are porcupine quills dangerous?
When you follow our staff's instructions, the encounter is perfectly safe! Porcupines don't "shoot" their quills - they only come out when touched. You'll learn safe ways to interact during your visit.
How much time should I allow?
The encounter itself is 30 minutes. If you'd like to explore the rest of our farm (highly recommended!), add General Admission to your booking and plan for 2-3 hours total.
Is this suitable for children?
Yes! Children ages 5+ are welcome. Younger children may attend with close adult supervision. This is an educational and engaging experience for all ages.
