Welcome to the Childrens Farm

In July 2018, Zoo New York held a grand re opening of their Children’s Farm Exhibit; featuring baby goats, hogs, and chickens. The new exhibit opened following a formal ribbon cutting ceremony.

“Creating a multipurpose space where we are able to combine education with simple function was our main goal. We wanted to provide a space that zoo visitors could enjoy, while also making long term improvements that would benefit the animals who reside here, while at the same time increase our financial sustainability. The Children’s Farm was a greatly missed portion of our zoo and we are glad to have it back and running.” Said Zoo New York Executive Director and CEO, Lawrence Sorel.

Through education and enrichment residents will be able to enjoy learning about agricultural breeds of local animals for years to come.

The Children’s Farm renovation was made possible thanks to contributions from community members including Jakes Lawn Care, Jefferson County Community College Zoo Technology students, Igo To The Farm, Cross Island Farms, and Senator Patty Ritchie who secured the grant that enabled to project to come to fruition.
