GUIDED INTERACTIVE ANIMAL TOUR

Interacting with farm animals and spending time in nature has been shown to have numerous benefits for our health and well-being. It can improve our immune system, lower blood pressure, increase energy levels, boost our mood, and enhance our focus.

Meet our therapy animals on a Guided Interactive Animal Tour from 1:30pm to 2:30pm! Dreamcatcher™ is home to a variety of rescue farm animals including horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, and chickens. During your tour, you will have the opportunity to interact with our animals in their pens, hear about their stories, and learn about all about the meaningful work they do.

Our tours are suitable for all ages. Our guides will ensure our guests have safe interactions with the animals, however, there may be a small chance that some in-pen interactions may not be available.


MAGICAL FOREST SCAVENGER HUNT

“Fairies, Gnomes, and Nature, Oh My!”

Come join us for an enchanting Magical Forest Scavenger Hunt!

This is a leisure activity and is available for the whole event from 12:00pm to 3:00pm and is suitable for all ages!

The forest borders beside the horse corrals and are fenced off separate from the trails, please do not enter the animal pens. However, you may interact with the animals over the fence!
