A farm is not complete without animals and this year will be no exception for the barn yard at Heartland Acres. Beginning in May, the farm animals return to delight and enlighten guests. The animals represent a sampling of the creatures often found on farms throughout the United States.
Craig Johnson, Executive Director stated, “We like to give our guests as much of the farm experience as possible and our animals are always a joy for our guests to see.”
This year, animals will grace the campus from May through mid-October as part of the outside exhibits found on the Heartland Acres campus. The animals are always an eye catcher for the young and the young at heart.
Heartland Acres is open daily Monday to Friday 9 AM to 4:30 PM throughout the year.
Starting Memorial Day weekend and going through Labor Day weekend the campus expands hours to Monday – Saturday, 9 AM to 4:30 PM and Sundays noon to 4:30 PM.

New this summer to the barn yard at Heartland Acres will be floppy eared bunnies. These bunnies and their cage are a Citizenship Project for Brezlyn Grote who is a member of the Heartland Kids 4-H Club. Guests of Heartland Acres will also enjoy seeing our regular lineup of barn yard animals which often include pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, calves and ponies.
