New in 2026…Changes to our basic 10 animal petting zoo

After careful consideration of our commitment to animal welfare, we’ve made a change to our traditional 10 animal petting zoo. The package will now include two sheep, in place of what was previously one sheep and one alpaca. All other animals will remain the same.

We made this change because we believe (and animal science backs up) that both sheep and alpacas are their happiest and most calm when in the presence of at least one companion of their species.

Furthermore, llamas and alpacas are amazing animals who require care above and beyond what’s needed by more traditional farm animals. As such, they will be available as special add-ons in groups of two, and will continue to come standard (in pairs) in our 20 and 30 animal petting zoos.

Thank you for understanding that the best way to enjoy animals is when they are most comfortable!

-Jenna, City of Mason, OH

“We had another great experience with Honey Hill Farm. My kids’ favorite part of the party has to be the animals. They love the pony rides and petting pony (Little Bear), but this year we added the petting zoo and everyone loved interacting with those animals, as well. I think the adults had just as much fun with them, as the kids did.

Chelsea was great. She was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We also appreciate the set up, take down and clean up. She left the yard in great condition, which is very nice.”

-Nalise, Lexington Mom
