Due to the recent spread of avian flu, all interactions with chickens and waterfowl in guided tours and activities have been placed on hold as a precautionary measure. We continue to closely monitor new information and guidance regarding avian flu and update protocols accordingly. As always, we recommend hand washing after visiting the farm and before eating. Thank you for your understanding!

Farm Explorers
Discover farm life through animal care, barn chores, a pony ride and making snacks. This drop-off program features seasonal themes, crafts, stories, and hands-on time with farm animals. Each session highlights a different set of animals. While some favorite animals and activities will repeat, there will be new experiences to enjoy along the way.

Your child will be immersed in farm life in this after-school program. Activities include interacting with our farm animals, exploring the park's natural habitats, and creating crafts. Your child will take the animals on walks around the farm, see what's growing in the garden, and explore Bellevue's past through the historic buildings at Kelsey Creek Farm.
Little Farmers
Enjoy hands-on fun in the barn and barnyard with your little one. Help with barn chores, feed and pet animals, make crafts, enjoy parallel play and take a pony ride.
