Andelin Farm's Annual Festivals
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.
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 stick around, keeping the doors open to the ultimate destination for seasonal joy.

Proper footwear is essential as the farm grounds are primarily dirt
Parking:
The parking lot offers ample grass/dirt space. Expect for your vehicle to get a little dusty.

Umbrella strollers are not recommended due to the dirt and rock terrain. Jogging and larger strollers are preferable.
