A day spent outside on the farm is good for the soul, and Butterfield Acres is Calgary’s home for fun on the farm. Right on the NW edge of the city, it’s easy to bring your city kids to experience a taste of farm animal life from spring to fall. You can visit the animals every day from April to September for fresh air and family fun, or even have the animals come to you.
There’s so much to do at Butterfield Acres, especially if your children love animals. Come for a visit with the goats, sheep, or bunnies. Take a pony ride and listen to what a donkey’s hee-haw really sounds like. In the spring you can adore the babies, with sweet little chicks and piglets or head to the Harvest Pumpkin Fest in the fall. Many of the animals can be visited right in their pens, or through the fence for the larger ones. Learning about the animals through the seasons can offer valuable lessons for kids, from love and respect to interesting facts. Make it easy and affordable to visit often by purchasing a season’s pass!
