*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 05/26/2024
Welcome Race Fans!
May 25th and 26th come Race Around Farm in celebration of the Indy 500. The sanctuary will be open for visitors from 11am-2:30pm for self guided tours. Please note we take our last visitor 30 minutes before we close. It’s a $10 donation per person (children included) to enter the farm.
Visitors are welcome to bring these approved snacks to feed the animals: apples, carrots, cucumbers, grapes, watermelon, and cheerios.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
**IMPORTANT**— Pigs have poor eyesight and can be very food exuberant, therefore, direct handfeeding is strictly prohibited.
Oinking Acres is a rescue and sanctuary, and while calm, gentle petting of the animals is welcomed, we are not a ‘petting zoo.’
Our residents call the farm home, and our top priority is that they all feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Parents, we ask that you help your children to understand and respect the animals and their space. Running and screaming through the barn is prohibited, so as not to frighten the animals. Our number one rule is: Respect the animals.
The self-guided tour is best for children over the age of 6.
We do ask that if younger children accompany your group, that they be carried throughout the barn to eliminate the possibility of being stepped on. We are unable to permit strollers or wagons as they are a safety hazard to the animals.
Tours play a very important part at Oinking Acres!
Not only do the entry donations help cover the cost of feed, supplies, and vet care, but tours also raise awareness about pig rescue, allow folks to make connections with farm animals, and most importantly, these tours are educationally driven in hopes of dispelling societal misperceptions of pigs and farm animals, in general. We hope to be the change that ignites a kinder world for animals of all kinds.
We can’t wait to see you, your friends, and your family out at the farm!
