Birthday Parties

Celebrate your child’s special day at Ambler Farm! Experience farm life as you and your guests participate in a hands-on garden experience and interact with our resident sheep, goats, and rabbits. Round out your time at the farm with a tractor hayride taking you through our rolling fields and gardens.

This is a unique outdoor farming experience. Please advise guests to dress appropriately for the outdoors and the day’s weather. Boots or closed-toe shoes are a must: overalls optional.
