On weekend mornings at Triskelee Farm in West Linn you trade the city for a large red barn, a sunny lawn and a parade of baby animals. The Baby Animal Tour is a guided, educational walk-through of the farm where participants go in with many animals—petting and feeding baby goats, lambs, a baby alpaca and other creatures—followed by time to linger on the lawn with food and local drinks from an on-site truck and bar.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ANIMALS

Close encounters with baby goats, lambs and a baby alpaca

The tour brings you into the pens to meet and interact with young livestock—baby goats and lambs are center stage, alongside a baby alpaca and other farm residents—making for memorable, hands-on moments and easy photo opportunities.

THE TOUR

A guided, educational farm walk

A staff-led experience explains why and how the farm operates as you move among the animals; tours are structured and allow guests to pet and feed many of the animals under supervision.

THE AFTERMATH

Farm-to-table food and local beverages on the lawn

After the 40-minute tour, guests are invited to relax on the lawn and purchase burgers and other food from the farm food truck, and adults can buy local beer or wine from the bar—a deliberate farm-to-table finish to the visit.

What the day feels like

What the visit feels like

Expect an intimate, upbeat 40-minute loop through pasture and pens: check in at the barn, follow the guide into the enclosures to meet and sometimes feed the baby animals, then unwind on the lawn with food and drinks. The pace is family-friendly and built around supervised interactions—part petting zoo, part short farm lesson—culminating in a casual, farm-sourced meal or a glass of local beer or wine.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this experience suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active familiesExcellent for families with children: all ages need a ticket but carried infants ride free; the tour’s short duration and hands-on animal time keep children engaged.
2
Animal loversIdeal for anyone who wants close, supervised contact with young farm animals and a chance to learn about small-scale farming practices.
3
Large groupsAppropriate for groups up to the operator’s capacity, noting the tour is open to 40 people at a time; purchase tickets in advance to secure a slot.
4
Visitors with limited mobilityNot necessarily ideal: the site has uneven, potentially slippery ground and animals are handled in outdoor pens—check mobility needs against the farm environment before booking.
