The Art Farm in the City

My son has been going to the Art Farm for 3 years now, and we absolutely love this place! From animal science to cooking, the classes are great! And the hands-on time with the animals is priceless. Also, the staff has been very kind and accommodating, and they are perfectly fine with him attending classes with his SEIT (many places are not). I highly recommend Art Farm for any child who loves animals and/or cooking classes. We've had a wonderful time here.

Went to a birthday party here. My daughter had so much fun and loved all the animals. The staff were very warm, professional and attentive. They did a great job of making the birthday party a great experience for all the kids. I would definitely recommend the Art Farm to friends!

My boys (4 and 6) spent a week there at camp while we were on vacation. They had a blast and made great friends. The Cat in the Hat visited which they still talk about months later. Every day they had an activity - soccer, swimming, field day among others. Of course, taking care of the animals on site was their favorite part! We will be back!

My daughter attended this program for three summers and LOVED it (and it went for 8 weeks, so rare in NYC!). She is still talking about the chinchillas and may want to be a jr counselor here when she is a teenager. They had great art, cooking, and animal programs. Every week in the summer was assigned a different theme. The staff were all very nice. I see that someone is criticizing the director--Valentina--yes, she can be a bit snooty and cold, but I think underneath it she is a good egg. Still, I can see why she might be off-putting to some parents. But the most important thing was that my child was safe and happy. The other woman, Christina, made up for any of other coldness and we loved her.

Recommend this as a summer program! In other instances I know that they do parties and classes, But we never did them. Parties are v expensive, though adorably done.

I miss this Art Farm days!

A hidden charm in the city. Animals sets and crafts and cooking. Plenty of activities for the little ones. All sorts of cute small animals to learn about. Don't forget to bring a camera to get a cute photo of you child with a cute chicken or bunny. Very clean not smelly like the NY zoos. Plenty of cooking programs and mornings on the farm is fun.
