Please review these important policies before booking so your visit is safe, smooth, and enjoyable.
01Appointment only
We are not open for daily admission
Our hours are based on the tour and encounter times posted as available, and those times fluctuate. A scheduled reservation is required to visit.
Guests may not walk around the property before or after their scheduled visit.
02Booking policy
Rescheduling & refunds
You may reschedule your appointment once, provided you contact us at least 48 hours before your appointment start time. After that deadline, we cannot reschedule your visit or offer a refund.
Once an appointment is booked, all payments are nonrefundable.
03Choose your experiences
All services are à la carte
All encounters, tours, and services are booked separately. If you would like to see more animals or take a private tour, please make sure you reserve each experience you wish to enjoy.
04When you arrive
Please remain in your vehicle
Traveling Acres is a working farm with large farm machinery moving throughout the property. For your safety, please remain in your vehicle until your appointment start time. Your tour guide will come to get you.
Guests may not walk around the farm before or after their scheduled visit. Please respect all rules and signs; guests who do not follow them may be asked to leave so everyone can have a safe experience.
If you are traveling from far away and expect to arrive early, we encourage you to stop along the way to use the restroom. Our doors remain locked until your appointment time.
05What to wear
Dress for your experience
- Closed-toe shoes are required. No Crocs.
- All animal encounters take place indoors with air conditioning or heat, depending on the season.
- Private tours go outdoors for a short period in every season. Dress for the weather and wear rain boots when conditions are muddy. Umbrellas are available if it rains.
- For swimming with otters, wear a T-shirt or a swimsuit without strings. Otters love strings, and they may tug on them. Please bring a beach towel and a change of clothes.
- Please do not apply oils, sunscreen, lotions, or similar products before swimming. The experience is indoors, so sunscreen is not necessary.
