Fantastic Farm Party
This is our most popular birthday offering. Enjoy a private, guided tour of Heckscher Farm. Get to know our farm friends on a first name basis. Feel the feathers of our chickens, get a little goofy with our goats, say hey to our horses and help us set up their stalls for the evening. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.

Nature's Treasures
Learn about some of nature's wonders while participating in a scavenger hunt of our beautiful grounds. We will look for objects from nature based on clues we'll have at a series of stations along our nature walk. When we are finished, we will take our treasures and recycle them for future partygoers to enjoy. The nature walk lasts approximately 45 minutes.

Amazing Arts & Crafts
If your child is a budding Picasso, then this is the ideal party for them. Materials and activities will be adapted according to your child's age group and will be based on the season. Each child will construct a memento using items found on the farm and in nature, such as wool, pinecones, seeds, leaves and so much more. The hands-on art project lasts approximately 45 minutes.

Animal Embassy
Naturalist Chris Evers offers a customized live animal experience that your child will not soon forget. Children are encouraged to touch and participate as they learn about some extremely beautiful creatures. The hands-on program lasts approximately 60 minutes. There is an additional cost associated with this party offering, please call for details.
