Animal Encounters
We offer public admission to our boutique
Petting Zoo in North Bend, WA.
Public Encounters
All of our small-group animal encounters are available by scheduled ticket purchase only. This allows us to provide the very best guided experiences we can to our visitors.
Want to get up close and personal with our adorable farm friends? Register for one of our animal encounter options online using our events calendar below.
Private Encounters
Looking for something a little more exclusive? Our public encounters are a shared experience by design - but if you'd prefer the farm to yourselves, we've got you.
Private Encounters are bookable for individuals, families, or small groups, and come with dedicated animal time, a personalized pace, and zero competition for piglet cuddles. Great for groups, schools, clubs, or home-school circles too.
Our 45-minute private encounter package costs $475, and has a 15 person max limit.
We do require one adult chaperone, per four attending minors.

what to expect
Public Encounter FAQs
Can my kids go in without me?
No. All minor children must be accompanied by an adult.
What should I wear to the farm?
Dress for the weather, and the barnyard. Closed toe shoes are required to be admitted.
We recommend long pants to protect your legs from curious critters who may want to crawl on and cuddle with you. Pull out those rain suits for the wetter days, and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty!
Bring a change of clothes if you're trying to sneak in a snuggle on your lunch break, and
we cannot guarantee a goat will not try to eat your shoelaces!
Can I buy tickets at the gate?
We do not take cash at the gate, and our zookeeper does not sell tickets. You can use our online booking system to purchase tickets at the gate on your phone, but we only have a small number of tickets available per an encounter, and we often sell out! We recommend buying in advance, or at least before you leave home to come visit us.
What happens if I'm late for my ticketed encounter?
Please plan to arrive 10 minutes early. Arriving more than 15 minutes late, and/or missing our safety orientation my disqualify you and your party from entry.
If you've arrived late, we are unable to offer you additional make-up time in the next scheduled animal encounter. However, if you would like additional encounter time, you may purchase tickets (within availability) for the next available scheduled encounter.
Can we get a refund if we showed up more than 15 minutes late or didn't show up at all?
We do not offer refunds for late arrivals or no-shows. No exceptions.
If you provide us with 48 hours notice in writing (via email), that you will be unable to attend your ticketed encounter, we can refund your tickets, and you can reschedule your visit by purchasing tickets to another scheduled encounter with availability. For requests, please contact us at: partyanimals@pluckypalomino.com
