Green Meadows Petting Farm Reopens at Lancaster Ranch Park in Kissimmee

1881 Jack Calhoun Dr., Kissimmee, 34741, USA - Green Meadows Petting Farm, a charming haven for families, has officially relocated to Lancaster Ranch Park in Kissimmee, bringing its delightful animal interactions back to the community after a seven-year hiatus. Originally founded in 1988, the farm was a beloved destination for families until it closed its doors in 2018 following the sale of the land. This latest move marks a fresh start, with the city of Kissimmee playing a vital role in making this new location possible. The farm now occupies a sprawling 50-acre site, where visitors can enjoy abundant shade from mature live oaks as they unwind in the great Florida outdoors.

The petting farm is not just about the ambiance; it’s home to a delightful array of animals, from Nigerian dwarf goats to cows and sheep, each in their specially designed habitats. Uniquely, there’s even an air-conditioned space for the bunnies, ensuring that all critters are comfortable and well cared for. According to My News 13, visitors can engage with the furry residents and enjoy the fun of feeding some of them with baby bottles—a hit among the younger crowd.

Summer Fun and Promotions

This summer, the farm is rolling out some exciting promotions. For families looking for a fun outing, the BOGO (buy one, get one) deal for kids is hard to pass up. Additionally, visitors can cool down with free Popsicles every Friday, making those hot summer days feel just a little sweeter. On Wednesdays, the farm offers a special treat where one grandparent can enter for free with each paid general admission, ensuring that multi-generational family outings are easy and financially friendly.

As detailed on the city’s official website, Kissimmee.gov, the relocation not only provides a fun venue for families, but it’s also suitable for birthdays, field trips, and special events. The new site enhances the possibility for up-close interactions with animals while allowing guests to take part in hayrides that offer scenic views of Old Florida—a quintessential experience that both children and adults cherish.

A Legacy of Learning and Fun

Green Meadows Petting Farm was the brainchild of Coni and Bob Keyes, and over the years, it has fostered an environment where countless children have had the chance to learn about and interact with a variety of farm animals, such as alpacas, donkeys, pigs, and the ever-adorable bunnies. The farm has been a cornerstone of community life in Kissimmee, and its reopening within Lancaster Ranch Park is a testament to its enduring appeal.
