Barnyard Calm: A Private Birthday at Sun Star Farm.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
A peaceful, pasture-side private party
This is intentionally calm: a serene farm environment where parents can relax and connect while children stay happily engaged — the opposite of a loud indoor playground.
A kid-sized menagerie to pet and feed
Children meet and feed a miniature llama, pigs, goats, miniature donkeys, sheep, chickens, a turkey and rabbits — hands-on animal visits that are a staple of the party experience.
Unhurried activity and play
Staff-led visits and free play in the preschool yard let groups move at a comfortable pace; the farm is set up for smaller attention spans and quiet discovery.
What the day feels like
What the party feels like
Your private party unfolds under a large covered shelter with pasture views, led by a dedicated party coordinator who paces animal visits and play to match the group. Children will spend roughly an hour feeding and petting animals under staff supervision, then rotate to the preschool play yard — swings, slides, a mud kitchen and a giant sand pit — with food and cake timed where you prefer.
