Description San Diego Animal Sanctuary and Farm™, formerly known as Children’s Nature Retreat, welcomes visitors of all ages, allowing everyone to enjoy and explore the beautiful and tranquil surroundings at their leisure. This magical and serene ranch-style Farm, with its 20-acres of terrain, is a safe haven to over 200 domesticated livestock and exotic animals from around the world. Our Vision In our increasingly digital-dependent and urbanized world, we are loosing touch with nature. With this in mind, we believe San Diego Animal Sanctuary and Farm™ offers a rich connection to the earth, its plants and animals. We allow guests to step away from their fast pace life, reduce stress levels and find their balance in nature.

The drive to get there is beautiful. The sanctuary is beautiful. The animals were just absolutely cute and adorable and funny. My daughter went here for a field trip and she had the best time ever. She was just so excited that she got to feed all the animals (a few that we couldn’t obviously because of health reasons) she listened to the tour guide with everything he was saying about each animal and how they came to be at the sanctuary! Then we came home and she just kept talking about the animals! It was beautiful. We had a great time.

I surprised my wife and sister by bringing them here instead of downtown, and they had the absolute BEST time. The farm is beautiful, the animals are so friendly, and the staff was extremely helpful and positive. When every day feels rushed and you always have stress on your plate, spending a morning or afternoon here is genuine therapy. Do yourself the kindness and check this place out next time you need some time to unwind and just have a good time!

Absolutely loved the experience! Took my kids and it was so fun. The staff is so nice and everything is so well kept. I appreciate that they even do military/veteran discounts. To some it may seem like the entrance fee is expensive but 100% believe I would pay it again because it’s that worth it! I also love that we can bring our own lunch and enjoy an outdoor picnic surrounded by all the open fresh air and trees in their benches and table area. And I loved all the little farm cats that approached us at our lunch time! Everything about this place is amazing. Getting to feed the ducks/chickens/turkey for only $2 a cup is amazing. I cannot wait to take my kids back.

Definitely worth the drive and the ticket price. You can feed almost every animal on the farm which was so unique. You really get up close interactions in a way not possible at a zoo. They really care about their animals here and it shows.

Really nice experience. Good viewing opportunities of a variety of animals in what seems like a humane environment. Easy parking. Fresh produce from the farm is available. Friendly staff. A bit expensive for a family, but it makes sense given the costs of running the place.

What a fun day! On a beautiful piece of property, surrounded by fun and unique animals. Close encounters to zebras, Buffalo and even camels! Definitely worth visiting with your family!
