Description HorsePower for Kids, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a farm and petting zoo so that everyone can have the opportunity to benefit from interaction with animals and ponies. We provide fun, educational opportunities for children and adults to interact with and care for animals that have been rescued from a variety of situations. In our experience, working with animals enriches our lives. Through animals, children transform into young adults, learning responsibility and respect. These interactions build character, foster relationships, and allow us to become more open as individuals. At our farm, we strive to provide these experiences to the public and share our love for animals with everyone.

We love this place! It is spectacular! We had fun and great experience today. Just make sure you go in early so that you can find parking easily. Also, every 1st Thursday of the month the fee is $5/person. Not so sure if that will change later. But for now, every 1st Thurs of the month that special applies. The place is huge, they have play area, pony ride(extra $5/child), petting zoo, Thomas the train ride (additional fee), picnics shades area to rest we love the one by the lake with the fountain in the middle you'll see ducks and birds everywhere and you get to see the train stopping by as well. The place clean, restrooms available and sanitation as well. They have a barn for wedding, birthdays to rent, it's a beautiful place. We love the parrots so much we keep coming back on their nest. They also have zip lining for the kiddos to enjoy. The staff are awesome, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone with kids to enjoy and experience outdoor fun zoo.

From the moment I stepped into Horsepower for Kids & Animal Sanctuary, I was embraced by a warm, family-like atmosphere that is so unique and heartening. This place is a testament to love and dedication, not just a farm or a zoo, but a sanctuary where animals are cherished and respected. The health and happiness of the animals here are evidently the top priority. Each animal, be it the playful goats, the majestic horses, or the cheerful birds, seemed exceptionally well-cared for, showcasing bright eyes and lively spirits. Witnessing animals that are not just kept but deeply loved and valued was incredibly moving. Horsepower for Kids & Animal Sanctuary is a must-visit for all ages. It offers an enlightening journey into the lives of various animals, making it an educational experience for children and a thought-provoking visit for adults. This sanctuary educates us about the importance of animal care and conservation in a very engaging and interactive manner. In summary, Horsepower for Kids & Animal Sanctuary is more than just an attraction; it's an enriching, educational, and heart-touching experience that leaves you with a deeper appreciation for nature and its inhabitants. Whether for a family day out or a solo visit to reconnect with the natural world, it comes highly recommended.
