Is décor included?
Yes! Our party package comes with simple farm style décor:
- Happy Birthday banner
- Cloth flag banners
- Balloons (non helium)
Our party package includes setup & takedown/cleanup.
Guests have the option to bring in additional décor as long as it won’t damage the walls.
Guests must ensure their own décor is taken down at the end of the booking (3pm) so EcoFarm staff can begin cleanup.

Party Room Floorplan
This is what the room will look like when you arrive:
- Tables and chairs that will seat a maximum of 20 people
- Small round chalkboard table with 5-6 seats for little ones
- Additional chairs spread throughout the room
- Small kitchenette and kids play stations
Guests may re-arrange tables and chairs to their liking.

When can we visit the petting zoo?
You can visit the petting zoo at any time, whether that be before, during or after the party. We recommend visiting the petting zoo animals near the end of your party if you’d like to lengthen your visit with an additional activity. (See suggested party schedule below.)
Petting zoo animal feed bags are $1 each and can be purchased any time during your visit.

Suggested party schedule?
Our party package runs from a set time from 12:00pm-3:00pm.
Party hosts have the option to arrive at 11:00am to begin setup.
The guided barn tour may take up to an hour of your time. You can reserve an hour-long time slot in advance for your group or use our suggested schedule:
- 12:00 – Guests arrive & settle into party room
- 12:30-1:30 – Guided tour. (Explore the Discovery Zone, intro MOOvie, meet the EcoFarm cows, watch Robbie the Robot milker.)

- 3:00 – Party room booking ends. We ask that your items are cleared from the party room at this time so our staff can begin cleanup. Feel free to move your party group outdoors to enjoy the grounds and an ice-cream?

30 Person Limit

Ice-cream
Birthday parties receive a discount on kids cones.
The ice-cream stand is available seasonally starting on the May long weekend, until the September long weekend. Or ask us about pre-scooped ice-cream to-go cups in the off season!
When paying for your birthday party upon arrival, let our staff know how many birthday kids scoops you’d like to add onto your bill. We’ll print off a receipt that you can bring over to our ice-cream stand to redeem your ice-creams at any point during your visit, while ice-cream stand is open (typically 12-5pm).
Enjoy your ice-cream at our picnic tables, or while you explore the park!
Have a birthday during the off-season? Feel free to bring your own desserts, purchase some goodies from Seasons Farm Market onsite or inquire to see if we have pre-scooped to-go ice-cream cups available!
