For the safety and well-being of all guests and animals, we kindly ask that all interactions be supervised by our trained staff. Enjoy photo opportunities with the animals, participate in activities and games, and meet other animal lovers in a safe and controlled environment. Hand sanitizing stations will be available.
Supporting Animal Welfare
At Merts Market & Farm, we are dedicated to giving back to our community. For the Petting Zoo Event 2025, we will be donating a portion of our sales to local animal welfare organizations. Your goodwill donations are also greatly appreciated and will help make a difference in the lives of animals in need.
A suggestion donation of $10 is kindly requested.
