Dear Parents and Friends
How valuable to have a place where children are “loving to learn!”
Your student will appreciate every activity, enjoy the hands-on style and cherish the memories of their Critter Barn class. From getting up-close with our entertaining animals to learning with our friendly teachers, we’ll put a smile on their face.
For over 30 years, kids of all ages have enjoyed our engaging activities as we teach about the animals and the work farmers do to raise our food. Critter Barn’s new farm, located in beautiful West Michigan, welcomes you to connect with the wonder of animals and nature. Explore the class listings and contact us if you have questions.
Keep growing!
