Baby Animal & Tulip Festival, 2024

Wednesday - Thursday, 3pm - 7pm
Friday - Saturday, 10am - 7pm
Andelin Farm welcomes visitors throughout the seasons:
There's nothing quite as enjoyable as spending time with adorable baby animals, surrounded by laughter and joy in the delightful spring weather, munching on kettle corn, and savoring the scent of fresh-cut tulips.
At Andelin Farm's Baby Animals & Tulip Festival event, you can immerse yourself in all of these wonderful experiences and more.
This cherished farm, managed by a warm family and dedicated staff, consistently goes above and beyond to ensure their guests have the best possible time.
Over the years of my visits, I've witnessed numerous positive changes that have made the farm even more enjoyable than before.
Throughout the years, I've cherished moments at the farm with friends and family. As the kids grow, they dive deeper into the farm's fun, delighting in running around with their friends.
Parents also find joy in visiting, knowing their kids are in safe hands while they make memories together with adult friends of their own.
There's been so many housing developments in their area, and I'm so grateful they've chosen to stand their ground, keeping the doors open to the ultimate destination for seasonal joy.
