The Art Farm is the type of place a lot of parents might be skeptical of. In fact, I can't tell you how many times I've heard a parent return from their first visit there and say something to the effect of, "I have to admit, it was really great"??”and I have only ever heard rave reviews.

The Art Farm Open House is perfect if you don't want to make the time or financial commitment to a full semester of classes, but want to check out and enjoy some special Art Farm fun.

Drop in on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for 2 hours of baking, making art, singing, and, of course, learning about, snuggling and feeding the animals. Ages recommended 1 to 5 yrs. Drop-off is available for children aged 2 and up.

All this wonderfulness isn't cheap. A one-time visit is $45. But if you consider that it's including a two-hour class, the animals and you can drop-off, it could be worth it for a unique experience. Discounts are also available for children registered in Art Farm classes and multi-visit value packs can be purchased (all passes are transferrable so you can buy a value pack with a bunch of friends for a discount). Thes programs also help to support homeless animals in NYC.

For a less expensive way to visit, start your weekend with a morning on the farm. From 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. Saturdays & Sundays drop in for a visit to the farm to feed, pet and snuggle the animals for just $15 a visit. Sounds like a pretty pleasant way to ease in to the day.
