Heavenly Heart Farm & Mini Petting Zoo

About this place

Discover Heavenly Heart Farm & Mini Petting Zoo, a unique animal sanctuary that focuses on rescued and rehabilitated animals, offering both a traveling petting zoo and on-farm appointments. This Shenandoah Valley favorite, voted 'Best Family Attraction' in 2022, provides an intimate and clean animal interaction experience. When you visit the farm by appointment, you can expect to be up close with at least nine animals, all of whom receive thorough grooming and even baths before each interaction to ensure they are friendly and healthy. Beyond the traditional petting zoo, Heavenly Heart Farm offers specialized services like 'Unicorn for Events,' featuring a white mini horse with a vibrant pink mane and tail, available for an hourly fee plus travel. They also provide pony rides for children under 80 pounds. The farm is dedicated to the well-being of its animals, accepting donations for vet bills, special needs, feed, and supplies. While primarily a traveling petting zoo, the farm opens its gates for private, pre-booked sessions, ensuring a personalized and memorable experience on their handicap-accessible, grassy, gravel, and slightly bumpy farm property. Remember to dress appropriately, as you'll be interacting directly with the animals, and note that outside food, drinks, and pets are not permitted.
