How does it work?
Parties pay general admission upon arrival. You can ADD-ON special additions to make the day even more farmtastic for you or someone special in your group!
Get hands-on with all of our animals… goats, lambs, piglets, alpacas, and so much more! The best memories are made at the farm!
Duration of a party is usually 3 hours – about 2 hours in the farmyard, with an additional hour if you want to book an outdoor picnic area or the indoor Birthday Barn for food, gifts etc.
Admission
Birthday Parties during our Main Season (April to September) pay general admission upon arrival. We’ll have you bring an attendee list (of those folks you wish to pay for) when you arrive, so we can quickly calculate your admission fees to make things easy for you. We will admit your guests as they arrive so you do not need to wait at the gate for them!
At least one supervising adult is required for every 3 children.
There is a 10% discount on admissions for groups of 20 or more folks paid in one transaction. Large parties will need to bring an attendee list and pre-pay when you arrive.
Food & Drink
You may bring in your own food and drink (if using a caterer, they must be self contained). You need to leave your picnic area clean and tidy for the next group (like camping: pack it in, pack it out).
Cancellation Policy
Party Options are non-refundable. If the weather is inclement at the time of booking, you may rebook your additions to another day at no charge, or you may take your additions fees in an equivalent value of Day Passes to Butterfield Acres.
We suggest advising guests to dress for the weather… giving you, as the host, a little cushion to work with!
COME AND TAKE A PEEK!
As the organizer, you are welcome to come and see the outdoor picnic areas or the Birthday Barn or Prairie Palace. Just shoot us an email with a request for a specific date and time (during our open hours please!) and we’re pleased to set this up for you: farmfun@ButterfieldAcres.com

We had a really fun afternoon yesterday at Butterfield Acres. However, a large family was in attendance and they somehow let all of the baby pigs out of the pen. I don't know how they could have screwed that up since precautions are taken such as double gates and an abundance of signs EVERYWHERE asking people to be cautious and... read more

August 7, 2026We had our daughters 8th birthday and we booked another petting zoo who cancelled on us the day before and Butterfield Acres went above and beyond for her birthday and made her day so special! Thank you so much !

July 13, 2026WAY too expensive!!! $17 for a 2 year old!!! 🤣 Calgary Farmyard offers a lot more for a lot less when you have a young child. I'm not paying $17 for my 2 year old who won't get much out of the experience. But I will go to the Calgary farmyard where it's free for my child and fun can still be had.

Their summer camps are absolutely amazing. Well priced, so much fun and the animals are so amazing. The camp staff were so lovely and fun!! Can't wait to book again next year.

May 23, 2026We went to baby days this year and within about 10 days our family was so so ill with a parasite. Even with the hand washing stations it’s so easy for a child to put their hand near and eye or mouth. Sadly after the month we have been through, we won’t ever be doing a petting zoo again. It... read more

We had a great time at Butterfield Acres during the spring babies event! Highly recommended if you have young children in your family.

May 3, 2026Maybe we needed to go earlier in the season, but it was 75% goats. Not saying goats aren't cute but I expected some more "spring babies" as per the name of the event. Also, was pretty excited at the possibility of feeding the baby goats but only children were prioritized. We paid for a ticket, and would have loved... read more

April 20, 2026Took the family out for their "baby animal festival" and we had a blast. My 2yr old loved all the baby goats jumping around. We ended the day by having smores by the fire. Would recommend bringing your little ones to learn about farm life and farm animals.
