Interactive and educational tours will leave every 30 minutes from 9:30 am to 3 pm, and will last approximately 60 – 90 minutes. Bring the whole family to meet the West Place farm family, and celebrate a season of kindness and compassion.
Registration is open to all. Advance online registration is recommended at https://www.westplace.org/visitors-weekends. Tickets are $24 for adults, $15 for children 12 and younger. All proceeds benefit the farm animals and wildlife at West Place Animal Sanctuary.
West Place is a small non-profit organization that hosts three public visitors weekends each year. These events provide opportunities for the community to meet the rescued farm animals West Place cares for on a daily basis, and to experience the beauty and tranquility of the 8-acre sanctuary. Staff and volunteers will share animal stories, information, and updates, and guests will learn more about West Place's life-saving work and unique mission. Visitors' weekends also serve as critical fundraisers for an underfunded organization dedicated to underserved animal populations.
