Critter time!

It’s not spring without baby animals and other farm fun, so grab your kiddos and get ready to oohh and ahhh over furry and feathered friends, gather with goaties and learn about spring planting. We’ve rounded up some of the best farms and petting zoos to visit around Seattle and beyond.

First, a note: Some facilities are open year-round; others are open seasonally. We recommend double-checking current hours of operation in advance of a visit.

First stop: Farrel-McWhirter Farm Park
