Animals, Wagon rides, and Fall Festival at The Farm at Walnut Creek

Looking for more animal experiences in Ohio? You’ll want to put The Farm at Walnut Creek on your to-do list for this Spring, Summer, or Fall. I know we plan to go back this year! 

The Farm at Walnut Creek is located in Amish Country, in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

You’ll find over 500 animals, including species from 6 continents. Some of the animals that call the farm home include giraffe, camels, zebras, and kangaroos, as well more common animals, including horses, llamas, buffaloes and deer.

The 2024 season opens Saturday, March 30, with drive thru and wagon rides, and is open on Mondays to Saturdays, 8:30am to 6pm throughout the season. 

The Farm at Walnut Creek

Enjoy the 2.3 mile drive through the rolling hills of Holmes County in the comfort of your own car or on an hour-long horse drawn wagon. The wagon ride will get you up close and personal with the animals as you hand feed these gentle giants (except the Zebras – they can bite!).

There is a center seat in the wagons if you don’t want the animals to be so close.

Driving through with your car will also allow you some distance from the animals if you choose to keep your windows up. Though if you put your windows down and have food, the animals will gladly put their heads in your window!

They also have a petting area where you’ll see other farm animals up close. 

This is a fully working farm, so you may also see farm activities, including plowing, thrashing, canning, quilting and more, depending on the season when you visit.

Guests can tour the non-electric farm house and barns, enjoy the playground, farm stand, and more. It’s a great experience for all ages.

The Saturday following Easter features fun helicopter egg drops as part of the Easter celebration. There will be egg drops every hour between 10 am and 4 pm, with a helicopter dropping hundreds of eggs from the sky each time.

Children can find the eggs in a field and redeem them by color to earn a prize. Every child will receive prizes. This event is for children ages 1-11 years old only. Parents of children who are ages 0-3 will be allowed to walk onto the egg drop field to assist their child.

There will also be a giant corn box and scavenger hunt, as well as food for purchase. You’ll have the chance to take an Easter photo with your children holding rabbits and bunnies as well!
