Reviews of Beacon Hill Children's Farm (Zoo)

D B

Great experience for young kids! (And humans!). Children are given the opportunity to brush goats after seeing theme stampede from their homes. Warning though, when your child says they need to go to the toilet, you will need to run a distance.

Markus Schnell

This place is so great to take your children there and also have a picnic in Becaon Hill park, or spend time at the playground.

Phuc Thinh Le

Really beautiful place

Ryan Wilder

4 year old daughter had a wonderful time here. The goats were her favorite. She spent over 30 mins in the goat pen alone. Farm was a perfect size for something to break up the day of walking around the city.

kayla finlay

A great place for families and people of all ages

Laura Sturgeon

Best time ever! Nothing like spending an hour hanging out with all the goats. They are so cute and have amazing personalities. The babies like to jump on your back(well so do the adults) at a certain time of day they do the running of the goats. Cutest darn thing you will ever see. There are other animals but the goats are so worth seeing as are the gorgeous peacocks. By donation.

Kate S

Great place for everyone. Kids just loved the goats and so did I lol.

Daniel Meeder

Such a beautiful place and so much fun for all ages

Julie Tiller

We love this park!!! Love the goats!!!

Meghan Dailey

There are peacocks EVERYWHERE!!! Also, you can pet the baby goats. Took my siblings there (all adults) and had a great time. Be sure to bring a blanket to have a picnic in the park after!

Mark Coldicutt

Great animals

Roselle Marentette

Really cute place. Plan to make it there for 10am for the running of the goats!

Sean Quinn

It's still closed for covid but most of the animals are close to the fence so you can see them and take pics. But it's a great family thing to do when there aren't any plagues around..

Shir Choo

One of the sweetest spots in town. You can pet mountain goats and see chickens, parrots, ducks, sheep’s and alpacas...free entry (by donation) Recommend !!

Magda P

Love this place, especially the baby goat pen, you can spend hours in there playing and petting the baby goats and their momma's, they also have other animals on the property.

Steve

Best place to go with the kids. Goats are always friendly.

Josh Hunter

Very fun place to bring a family! It's by donation and tons of fun.

Fills the void of a City zoo with the caring elements of a farm. A must see for family and kids. The end of day goat run is the cutest thing ever.

Pamplona, Spain has nothing on the Running of the Goats. Olé!

Mel I

A great stop at the park, loved it

Ricardo Ferreira

Fun time with the little ones, pigs, ducks, rabbits, ????'s and more. Only negative is that it could be bigger. Located in Beacon Hill Park, which has a lot of nice walking and beautiful gardens. Playground and small water park near by.

Jason Roudette

Everyone should have more Goats in their lives. Love this place!

Jon Fields

Good place that the kids truly enjoy. Watching the goat run is amazing.

Excellent venue for one and all. Entertaining, educational, and a nice place to relax and enjoy a couple of hours.

Lyan

Nice farm for kids activities.

Kristal Timmer

A family favourite for sure!

Curtis Friesen

This is such a worthwhile stope. Free parking and so many animals to see. From vietnamese potbellied pigs to goats. Admission by donation but very much worth seeing. A wonderful place to bring your family and if you are fortunate maybe find a peacock feather. I visited twice in 2 days with my family. Thank you to Victoria for having such a well maintained place to visit.

Cara Ebeling

Really liked how this park is put together. The owner himself was there to inform my family of the animals and answering any questions the kids had. Great place to kill time the whole park is beautiful!

Vicki Finnigan

So much fun, even for us (not so young) kids! ????

Krist Louis

We walked up to Beacon Hill Park from the inner harbor. It was a leisurely walk about 25 mins. We arrived at the Children Farm early and had some time to marvel at the menagerie of chickens. We gawked at the fluffy babies, the cool polka dotted ones and the ones with the big hair! The keepers were busy giving them their balanced diet of fruits and veggies. All of a sudden about 50 people arrived in numerous vehicles! I knew the show was about to begin. The ‘show’ is the running of the goats, and people come from all over to see it. That was why we found ourselves there too! The gates opened and over a hundred of us waited eagerly to give our donation to enter (suggested 5 for adults) but everyone is welcome regardless of your ability to pay. The old hands on deck directed us to stand along the fence rails and clap our hands! Before we knew it there were 40 or so goats zooming by! There were smiles all around, young and old alike. That was the best 37 seconds of my day! The littles ran after the goats to the petting zoo and got their pet on. The facility is cute and well equipped with a variety of animals and plenty of hand washing stations for when you are done. Great little side trip and the kiddies loved it!

Carlos Obregon

Pleasant petting zoo, most suitable for kids 5 and under in my opinion.

Kathy Cotter

Fun for kids and they get to brush the goats!!

Victoria Shulga

Petting zoo is such a nice place for kids! And for their parents too )

Sacha W

Always a great place to spend an afternoon with the family. The staff and volunteers seem to work hard to keep everything safe and tidy. The petting area with the goats is always the highlight of our visit to the children's farm.

"HeyYou-HEY YOO!" Peacocks, real live peacocks!!! A lifetime of great memories for myself and my own daughter! A hands on petting zoo ☺. Very well maintained with enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff! Please donate to keep it around for our grandchildren????.

Claudia Zamora

I loved it! There is a petting zoo and I had a blast looking at all the goats. My kids had a great time. The staff is very friendly, and we all enjoyed our time.

Lisa Fehr

The goats are the best!

Nathalie

Amazing little farm. So worth it. I took my 1 year old there and he had such a beautiful time petting and brushing the goats. They don't have exotic animals, but the little ones definitely enjoy more being able to have this kind of closer encounter with farm animals. We loved it!

Jerusalem Malimban

Kids as well as adults enjoyed the experience interacting with farm animals. Had a great time petting the goats, chasing ducks, and watching peacock show off its feathers. Alpacas and donkeys are a nice addition to the farm. Very well kept and had nice feels to it.

Jerry Soer

The best!

Lyle Smith

Pretty unfortunate that the goats and other animals are not available for petting because of Covid.

Malik Alali

Good and fun place for children

Adam Kroon

The goats run just after 5pm. Always fun to watch!

Very clean, lovely and small. Petting area has only goats.

Yance MedicatedVeteran

I went there one day last week with grandkid and it was in the morning about 1030, it was a great time to go, not really busy, but it was fun. My grandson loved the goats. Great times, and what an asset we have in Victoria.

Fernando Corrêa Dias de Souza

Great place. Childrens love it.

Poulami Ghosh

It is a small petting zoo in Victoria. So much fun for kids...the best thing is that goat stampede which will run twice a day.one is at 10am & other one is at 5pm. After 10am goat stampede all the goats are ready for pat & brush. There are also 5 or 6 peacocks, ducks, horse, hens, turkey,small birds, alpacca & so much to see for kids...

Brian Davies

A fun day to spend with grandchildren, goats,and peacocks.

Vanessa Shannon

Really good! I love that you can just snuggle the goats all day!!

Vancouverite111

This park is amazing Make sure to bring your bike so you can explore the whole park. It is also connected to bike trail that takes you around the Downtown for 30 minutes gorgeous trip. ???? You may check the little petting zoo for a minimal donation. ???? Then you must stop at the rose garden to check out the colourful display of amazing roses ???? Also do not forget to check the tallest totem pole in the world ???? Have a wonderful day ????

Tyler Kennedy

The goats are the most fun part, they'll nibble at your clothing sometimes though so wear something you don't mind getting chewed including purses/bags. There are goat stampedes to and from the petting part of the farm at 10:10 and 4:10 There are also heritage chickens, guinea pigs, bunnies(although not right now), two giant pigs, alpacas, miniature ponies, sheep, peafowl, ducks, and a small aviary. The horses are exceptionally dusty so don't touch anything after you pat them. There are handwashing stations but nothing to dry your hands on for the outside sinks, in the guinea pig enclosure there's a hand dryer. The suggested donation entrance fee is $4 adult and $3 child at time of writing. The animals all come from a farm that's not local to the park where they live in the fall/winter. The children's farm is only open in the summers

J R

Pygmy goat babies are full of fun right now at the petting farm. Wish kids could pet some of the other animals, like the bunnies & Guinea pigs.

Diana Craveiro

Always love it here, so fun :)

T G

The Goat Stampede is hilarious and absolutely adorable.

Matt T

Kids love to touch stuff so why not let them brush a goat. There are pigs and and birds too some sheep a llama., Pretty fun for about an hour and there is friendly volunteers to answer questions. There are also hand-wash stations. After you're all finished up there head across the street but bring some bird seed for the ducks.

Steven Karlsson

Always a great place to take the family. Staff are always welcoming

Jenny Ma

Fun place to bring little ones. Visiting and petting the goats was a highlight for our older kids. Be aware that there are no washroom facilities on site, though. You'll need to walk about 5 minutes from the parking lot to get to the facilities near the playground.

Faaris Kathrada

A+ baby goats

Eve Staples-Law

A very cute place for the kids and adults to see the little farm animals. We can't get the sound of the peacocks and goats out of our heads.

Jody YP

Good fun for the kids!

Christina

Charming! Beautiful! Love all the animals, too.

Lucas Morris

Muddy trails but the goats are really friendly.

Kellie Lapshinoff

Good place for a day trip. Spend time there, then head to the play park and duck ponds. The goats are adorable.

Q

An absolute gem! I love that they have peacocks roam around, even during after hours in case you miss the other animals. The peacocks will sometime cross the street to go to the other side of the park. Drivers use caution.

Pepa Llausas (Vivir Mirando al Mar)

Beauty, relax, nature.

Farhan Ahmed

Awesome place for kids, we go there almost every month

Sam Robertson

One of the best places to take your family for a farm animal experience! Its hands on with the baby goats and all by donation which is fantastic fanacially for bigger families.

Avi I

A great little place to visit. It is located in a nice park. They have goats, pigs, bunnies, guience pigs and and a few more types of animals. You could spend a couple of hours in this area, see the animals and then you can go for a nice walk around the park.

Gerry Morgan

I love going here with my grand children.

Gerry Morgan

I love going here with my grand children.

Connor Smith

This place is seasonal and not open during the winter months. It is a fun little activity if you are walking through the park and if you are there at around 4pm when they are closing up shop they do a "running of the goats" which is a lot of fun.

Thomas J.

Screaming children everywhere!

Sylvie Leppig

Busy on the weekend! Very cute goats!

Melanie Paterson Andino

So fun! the animals are super sweet ❤️

Robert Milchem

A great gem within Beacon Park. This place is a must stop if you have children. The staff is very friendly and the place is welcoming. Kids are free to play and pet goats and see lots of different animals. Just a happy place to spend an hour or so.

Sheree Zielke

You must take the wee ones to the “running of the goats” in the morning before the petting zoo opens. Lots of peacocks running around here.

Phil Kanczula

Took my grandson to see the goats, he had a great time! Highly recommended if you have kids, or if you just want to pet some goats!

Brad Cameron

Haven't been here in awhile ????. Lots too do @ beacon hill park????????️????????????????????????????. ????Remember Queenie ????? ????

Samantha Mills

i understand they’re trying to protect the goats from kids but at the same time they are very quick to be rude to u and ur kids, tell ur child off and kick u out. especially when it’s not necessary... the goats seem very chill and easy going but the women there are very over dramatic especially when nothing wrong is going on

Matthew Craig

The petting zoo was so much fun. The Goat Stampede every morning at 10:10am is a must-see.

Maggie Mae

Great little farm. The animals are so sweet and the goats are always fun to spend time with.

Almeda Getty

Admissision is by donation. Please be generous. The animals are well taken care of and very cute.

Jorge Francisco Gomes

We thoroughly enjoyed the goats stampede! Every evening at 5pm there is the running of the goats it's awesome to watch.

Lois Krause

Baby goat season is the best time to go. Entry is by donation. Staff do a wonderful job

Jessi Peters

What a nice little place! The kids particularly enjoyed brushing and petting the goats, and they loved to see the peacocks roaming around. The staff were great too. It's a good place to go on a hot day because of the shade. We also enjoyed the beautiful gardens, the fountains, and the playground. We will totally pop in here again.

Gildásio R. Jr.

Very good

gary atkins

My son just loves visiting

Ben Altair

What a great place to bring children and family. It's a fun way to spend the afternoon, seeing the sheep, goats, songbirds, turkeys and the odd peacock. Keep an eye out for the all white albino peacock. Such a beautiful sight.

BANWAIT DAVINDER Singh

Nice animals are

Spencer Sarault

Goat farm was great

Kajsa Hansen

The animals are well treated and kept very clean. The only animals you can directly interact with are the goats, which are very friendly and love being brushed. My 4 kids all enjoyed it ages 7 to 14.

Patrick Wilkinson

BABY GOATS

Pushkar Pahare

Loved the farm. Must visit for family with kids. My little one really enjoyed teaching animals what sound they should make..;) Entry is free and you only pay the donation (optional). Ducks and Peacocks roam free around the farm and if you are lucky you can see peacock dancing.

ABHISHEK SALVI

Awesome place!

Rachel R

I loved this so much that words barely exist. Fun for all ages!

Elysia M

The baby goats alone were worth the trip into the park. ????

Michael Dash

Simple little petting zoo. Very nice.

Bayan Bolbolan

Amazing experience

Brett Gibb

Goats!! Enough said

Rose Currie

Great place for family fun.

Cinder Woods

Peacocks and baby goats are the best!

Brad Moran

Great family fun! Goat stampede is must see tv!!

Kyla Belvedere

Make sure you check out the goat stampedes! They do one just after opening and just before closing to get the goats in and out of the petting area.

Lloyd Skaalen

A grandson and great grandson from the Toronto area, visited in mid May 2018; all were impressed by the playground and farm in Beacon Hill Park. It is an all year must for travellers but the youngsters enjoy the farm in particular. It is well stocked with peacocks, ducks and goats, as well as the signage for walk through garden and attractions.

Wendy Veidemane

I love this place!!!

Bukola Ariyo

Nice place for kids to familiarize with animals

Jason V.

Always a good time. Pay by donation. Check out all the animals and enjoy the little goats bouncing all over the place. They may even hop on your back. :)

Becky Schmidt

Goats fot snuggling

Ephraim Gutierrez

Very beautiful place for families to go

Lydia Haight

Awesome!

Gage Campbell

No monkeys

M Z

Great place for playing with animals or a nice walk

Rebecca Sullivan

Safe and fun place for kids of all ages. Pigs, bunnies, chickens, birds, horses...and a petting zoo with adorable baby goats you get to interact with ! Plus the park is a beautiful walk any time of the year complete with gardens and a children's park

Jenn Elliott

Best place to come spend a few hours. The main attraction is definitely the baby goats so going early in the season (April-May) they have alot of the goats being born, and if your lucky enough to be there when it happens you may have the chance of naming one! (If the kids dont beat you to it) the owner of these animals is so kind and nice to talk to about all of her animals, and its definitely worth getting there right away or right at closing to catch the hilariously cute goat stampede! Be prepared to have a goat jump on your back if you bend down, or many chews on your hair.

Katherine Watier Ong

If you are in Victoria with young kids, you have to visit this petting farm. As an added bonus there are 40-50 peacocks roaming around and roosting in the trees. The kids can get into the baby goat pen and pet the goats. My kids loved it.

Rex Kaiwi

Lovely as always! Visit by donation, and a clean well maintained facility. My wife and I brought my daughter (16months old) and she loved! Very friendly attentive staff. The woman who was in charge of the goats that day knew all of their names, and their mannerisms. Made us feel as if she truly cared for the animals and wasn't just there as a day job. Highly recommend.

Jawed Iqbal

Good, but not great. Covid closures have messed everything up.

Robert Klein

Had a great time.

Faith knott

Cool

Cenastor

Loved this place! Great staff lots of animals to interact with. Loved every minute we were there. We went with a few friends had a great time and got to see lots of baby goats!

A P

We had such a great time there, it was the highlight of our trip. The farm was kept clean. There were wild peacocks walking around. The petting zoo has lots of baby goat which are super cute. We will definitely come again.

Walid Wahba

Nice experience for kids

Kim Anh

Colourful goose

Chad Villamil

Great place for kids!

A C

This was adorable. My kids loved the peacocks and the goats.

trent thompkins

Would give it a higher rating but the covid 19 B.S. ruined the experience. Animals looked depressed. Kids who came looked disappointed or bored. Maybe in couple years I may visit when all these restrictions are over for a more genuine review. Not recommended.

Tracy B

I've been going since the 1970's and now volunteer there. A wonderful place to spend an hour or whole day. The wee goats are the huge hit and though it can get a bit crazy with children & grown kids ( adults ), there is always a calmness over the crowd ( feels that way to me ). Thankful to have such a lovely place.

Scott Ingram

Awesome little children's farm in a beautiful park. My son had a blast petting the baby goats and checking out all the peacocks.

Darryl Schmidt

Lots of different birds and goats. At the time we were there, there was baby goats that the kids had fun petting and brushing.

Rajbinder Sekhon

Always enjoy going here

Madison L

Was a tad boring, really.

Margaret Lehmann-Berry

Great place!

The second happiest place on earth

Allie’s voyage

It os closed until Spring. Great family venue. Love love the animals.

Maury Swoveland

Great place for kids to see zoo animals. There is a petting zoo, and places to walk in nearby Beacon Hill Park.

Laura Dollisson

Great family day destination

amanda l

Lots of family fun and adorable animals

Jackie H

Very small, and only the goats can be interacted with. It seemed clean and well maintained, but unless you really just want to pet a goat, you’re better off saving the entry donation and looking at it from the outside. We were hoping for something more based on reviews.

Alexander Michalew

Excellent experience for parents and children

Cristina Calzada

Lots of animals. Seem well kept.

Anthony Mcintyre

Great place to bring the children lots of fun

Dana Arthurs

Really missing this little gem . The kiddos love brushing the goats.

Derrick Whittet (Wintersdark)

Admission by donation, so value is always good. It's not terribly large but always a fun trip for the kids, particularly if you're already in the area.

Sheila Lewis

Expected more animals and interaction

Sarah

Its an amazing experience for all ages petting the goats, seeing the goat run if you're lucky

Stephanie Kersey

The baby goats!!!

Brenda Randhawa

Baby goats are a must!!

K. Wayne Shantz

Affordable place to take the kids.

Emily Parizeau

Busy, but fun

Tony Whyte

It's a great place to check out if you like animals and then go have a stroll around the park. If you get tired then find a nice spot to relax.

Eleanor Sheekey

Cute little place to visit. Being able to get up close and personal with the goats is a highlight but my personal favourites were the alpacas.

Helen Green

So much fun!! The baby goats are the best!

Connor R

You could spend all day there cuddling baby goats.

Jason Strickland

Great place for the kids to see the animals

Mindalynn Frelick

The goats are the biggest part of the farm but I personally like the two big how's at the front the best.

Jaclyn Wong

Everyone who visits or lives here needs to go see the goats. Wake up early when the farm opens and watch the "running of the goats". It's really something special

Matthew Block

Come right at open or close for the goat parade. The main physical interaction you should expect to have will be with the goats, which is totally worth it, but don't expect to hold any of the smaller animals or pet the pigs if they decide to sleep away from the fence. The staff are great and you can improve any trip to the park by stopping in.

Maximilian Waid

Great place for the kids... and the ones, who are still 'kids at heart'.

Ilse Franckaert

Fantastic place with quite some animals We spend 20 min there with our 1 yr old The park itself (beacon hill) is super nice, very green with playgrounds etc

Jose Raupp

Beautiful place!

SN8DAWG

great. bring swimmers when the weather's good

Jon Floyd

Been here in many an occasion, wonderful place to bring children. Friendly staff, good exposure to wildlife in a controlled environment. Entry is by donation. Definitely worth the timing to see the gist stampede. As an addition to the other offerings in beacon hill park, with the beacon drive-in and Dallas road nearby this is a great place to spend an afternoon.

Vincent Voyer

Great little farm for little ones. The owner is actually still managing the place. Their family have been here since the eighties. You can tell they do love the animals. Those are pets and pets only (not for meat). You can pet the animals. There’s a donation to make (4$ adult, 3$ children). (Updated donations given response)

Mandy Ng

Lovely farm. Goat run at 10:10am and 5:10pm daily. Entrance fee by donation. Lots of peacocks One of the highlights of Victoria BC

Jessica Hsiao

Love the petting zoo!!

Echo “Echo” Tang

Love the goats here! No bad smell here

Melody Yip

If you're visiting Victoria, this is a great place to stop by! There is no admission fee for this petting farm and is by donation only. In this farm, you'll find lots of animals like alpacas, pigs, peacocks, goats, and more! There's a fenced area where you can pet, brush, and play with goats. They also have lots of baby goats. It was so much fun goofing around with the animals and I'd recommend this to any animal lovers out there. p.s. The animals get REALLY friendly sometimes; they are not afraid of humans at all. One even jumped on my girlfriend's back and hung out there for several minutes (see photo)

Ahmed Zaiton

Best kids experience ever! Hours spent petting little tiny baby goats???? Lots of Peacocks. Wonderful place

J Sy

Free children's farm with a goat petting area! Good variety of farm animals to see.

Romeo Willard

Kids loved all the birds

Tara Zieminek

This would probably be more fun after covid when you can actually pet the animals. For now, I would probably skip it.

stanya lowrence

I love the farm

Richard Greenway

Goats are great

Annemarie Speirs

Great farm. Love the goat petting area.

Jane

This was a great place to visit with kids. Entry is by suggested donation which is affordable for families. The kids got to pet and groom some cute goats. The highlight was learning that peacocks CAN fly. The gardens around Beacon Hill park are lovely.

Rébar Jaff

It was cute, but when I took my kids to see it, we could only see a couple of goats and some peacocks flying around. The kids couldn't pet the animals. There was a sign saying the farm was closed until 29 March 2019.

Jenny Ng

Quite a lot of animals and the peacock is so beautiful!

Roberto Martinez

Came for the goats, stayed for the goat run.

Greg Gregory

Great fun

Autumn K

Love the petting zoo and the experience, but unfortunately was put off upon entering. A staff member was listing off the covid protocols and my kid was super happy, saying how happy he was to be there and they stopped, pointed, and told me to make my kid be quiet so I could hear them speak when I clearly could. It was quite rude considering it's a very kid-friendly place.

curtis cairns

So love the goat sounds

Rick Mogg

Absolute must for the young ones. Get there for opening and catch the goat run.

Karla Quiñonez

It is a perfect place to have fun with the kids and little goats

Keely D

The farm is Closed from Thanksgiving till spring break. Can google please correct this. Thank you. Beacon hill children's farm staff.

Helen Edley

Goats! What can I say, if there weren't goats, this place wouldn't be half as much fun. Time your visit for the goat stampede (twice daily) and you'll thank me ;).

Smittyeh

The closest thing Victoria has to a zoo. Great activity to take young ones and go for casual dates. Admission by donation

Rick Pearson

Goat therapy!

K L

The goats are great!

Dune Boon

Peacocks, pigs, miniature horses, donkeys, chickens, llamas, small birds, and goats, lots and lots of goats. Admission is by donation. They also have a daily goat stampede. Did I mention the goats, because they have goats, lots of goats.

Always love the baby goats

Adrian Scott

What a great little spot to take the family. My daughter loved seeing the different animals that were there, especially the goats. All the animals looked extremely well looked after and the entire area was really clean. We'll definitely go back the next time we're in Victoria.

Amanda Hamell

Cute little farm. Think was $4 donation for entry. Pigs, chickens, goats. Typical peeking farm animals. Did have the grave of a beloved horse which is different.

Kevin Whalan

By donation entry and the suggested amount is posted as $4 for adults, $3 for children. Goats, Donkeys, llamas, Chickens, Ducks, Pigs, Peacocks, Rabbits and an avery for small birds. Nice little sanctuary in this already diverse parkland.

Sandy Richardson

A little crowded in the petting zoo area. But we were there right at opening...probably eased up during the day.

Valerie Ross

Very fun for kids and adults. The peacocks were wonderful. I do wonder why there are so many baby goats, what do they do with all the goats?

Edward Cho Hon Lam

This is where we can play with cute animals.

MorganMarie

B-E-A-utiful! Ive never seen a park that diverse with so many different and hidden gems to find and it was so clean! Our son absolutely LOVED the petting zoo. The goats were too cute...and its all free!

Great place for the kids or to get a closeup shot of a peacock.

Randall “Ranbo” Alexander

A really awesome experience! Animals are treated really good, staff is super friendly, everything is clean, place is really fun. Been going here for over 20 years.

Ned Shet

I thought this would be a farm of children, like "baby farming" in Victorian England, you know, where the lady farms babies but no it was a bunch of goats and crows and rodents being preyed upon by children and their caretakers. I am disturbed beyond belief. Snot running down their nose. Five little girls with bad intent. Please keep the animals safe. Thanks - Ned.

Joshua Beckwith

Always a great time seeing all the animals and playing with the baby goats especially

Samuel McLaughlin

Meh. It's ok.

Ken Moore

Nice spot for a few hours. Petting the goats seems popular!

Jane Collison

Loved it!! Entry is by donation, the goat pen is the highlight. The spring and other goats were gentle, even with baby and liked being brushed. They come right over for a pet.

Yi Bao

Great place to bring kids to watch farm animals including goat, pig, ducks..

Sam Tomilin

Love the goats

Raj Brar

Kids really loved it, no petting animals due to COVID protocols.

TsimshianHoroscope

This place is a go to when in Victoria. A nice urban country feel. When ur in the baby goat area, if u bend down, the baby goats will jump on ur back :) Its home to Victorias own colony of Peacocks and Peahens. And the baby goat stampede is so cute and adorable!

Randy Smith

Fun cute goats!

M Vinsky

Jude Gosselin

Lots of fun. The running of the goats is very cool.

Dottie Smith

Such a great space for people of all ages!! Love that you can brush and pet the goats, and their names are always fun to check out since they are themed. My 94 year old grandpa still talks about the pot bellied pigs and peacocks as one of his favourite sights :)

Suzanne Barclay

So clean organized ! Perfect spot to enjoy! Then the icecream!

Angela Fraser

Love this place! For a small donation (e.g. $4 for adults) you can interact with all sorts of cute animals. I'd highly recommend it! But please be respectful of the rules, it's for the safety of the animals and others.

Darla Larocque

Super cute! I personally loved the bunnies but goats. I strongly suggest staying until closing or visiting late afternoon, for the baby goat stampede. Adorable for all ages.

Shelagh T

Great place! Goat stamped at 10:10 and 5:10/4:10 depending on closing time is the cutest activity in town!!

Great place to bring the family!

A great place to take the little ones. Going at opening or closing is a really fun opportunity to see the goat stampede.

Micah Arnold

We had a really nice time coming here. We got to see a wide range of animals and we're fortunate enough to pet the goats. The baby goat was so cute.

Ashley McMath

Nice for kids

Avi Shany

Always love going there

Lisa Hunt

I love this place! The property is well cared for and the animals appear as happy as they can be given they are living in smaller quarters.

Adil Sardar

Came Saturday oct 13th 2018 to find that the petting farm is now closed for the season. Vaguely opening March 2019

Patricia Bailey

It is a great stop over to relax right in the city and the goats and peacocks are always fun.

Emily Schneider

Very fun to see farm animals and the running of the pygmy goats. Very enjoyable for all ages

fishomelette

Great experience and plenty of animals to play with. Lots of different activities to do and was a good way to kill time.

April Gilliland

This place is such a treat in the spring when the baby goats are being born. The goats can be pet and brushed and at the end of the day they run them through a path in the middle of the zoo to their nighttime quarters in a sort of adorable stampede. Admission is by donation. There are other animals to such as rabbits, peacocks, a miniature horse, and a miniature donkey. There are pigs too. One can make a day of it by visiting one of the playgrounds in Beacon Hill Park, seeing the ducks on one of the lakes in the park, or perhaps meandering over for an ice cream at Beacon Hill Drive-In.

stephanie mcivor

Awesome place! The petting zoo goats were so much fun! The peacocks seemed to coordinate with eachother to put on a show!

Jade Goodwin

Super cute! Definitely donate for your admission :)

Cody

Great for kids. Fun way to spend some time with the family. The baby goats were so cute and my wife enjoyed playing with them.

Shana Sylvester

It is always nice to see the animals...But it does get crowded ! I was pulling a wagon around with my toddler's..the wagon just fit in the walkways.

Todd Mitchell

We love this place. Small but fee is donation based so no risk you won’t get your money’s worth. Running of the goats is amazing!

shiannis boudreau

Lots of peacocks and pea hen's running around very interesting place to spend the day

Richard Pimentel

Many many goats

Bleep blop

Stardust was my favourite goat from 2018!

Frances Moini

Loved it!!!!!! It's a great touristy place if you're looking for something to do in Victoria. My favourite part was obviously the baby goats. The most friendly goats I've ever met. Definitely coming back to get my goat fix!

Rita Omogolor

The chickens- look out for Lady Gaga

Peter MacLeod

Not just for kids

Eamonn Alphin

Great place to take kids, busy buts it’s big enough to space out. There are signs up not to feed the animals (mostly the ducks) but everyone ignores them, probably to the detriment of the ducks; white bread is the ducky equivalent of candy: delicious but unhealthy.

Aimee Opincarne

Oh my goodness... baby goats!!!! Plus so many Peafowl and other critters. We loved it (including the adults!)

Dan Green

The grandchildren love the petting zoo. Admission is by donation. The staff keep the facility very clean. Lots of hand washing stations. Large penned areas for the animals. Be sure to go for their opening for the running of the goats.

The best place to take the kids in Victoria. Be sure to be there for the goat stampede, it's definitely a highlight.

Tom Jacklin

Great place for the family

Mike Kennedy

Once you've visited the Farm and the Rose Garden, head over to the Cricket Pitch where these socially-distanced Canada Geese are politely making their way to watch a match.

Josephine Burrows

Good times

People have a lot of fun

Allen Marsh

Fun for kids and friendly staff

Get there early to see the running of the goats and then have one walk on your back!

My boys (7 and 9 at the time) absolutely loved this place. They spent a solid hour just petting goats. The staff was very friendly. They kept the place very clean. Entrance is by donation so it is very affordable. Get there at 10am for the running of the goats. Worth the trip into the park for sure.

Marie Toews

It's what you think it is

Abrahim Hasan

excellent park

Joseph Willson

Since my baby was a baby I have been visiting here, always a good time with an array of both big and little creatures to play with and gaze upon. I do miss the police horses though....

Lots of animals for kids to pet, plus this plucky peacock!

Diana is here

Good place for children's and adult's.

Gary Turner

Awesome experience

Arvind Tirkey

What a nice treat for little kids, and even big and adult-kids who likes to watch some birds, sheep, donkeys, piggies, peacocks, white and regular beautiful ones. My two daughters 8yrs. and 4yrs. loved this place. My little one remembered Queenie the the Clydesdale that died even before her Dad was born… hahaha. Lots of photoshoot spots for kids. Loved it and highly recommended if you were finding a place to hangout, and picnic or fun with family and friends. :-) There’s a Burger restaurant nearby that will provide snack for longer hangout :-)

sayali purandare

Awesome thanks

Emerson Willer

Unfortunately the kids can't pet all animals and there are pens where we couldn't access (birds and guinea pigs). It could be better, but pandemic messed up part of attractions. The staff are kind and the goat treater is very friendly.

JOY

The running of the goats was truly fun my daughter enjoyed herself so much she was adamant we had to visit the goats and i am glad we did!!!!ps she's 18 lol

Jon Spade (JonSpade)

You should take "children" out of the name - goats is for everybody!!!! :)

Mat Hurren

THE RUNNING OF THE GOATS!

Clint Surry

Great fun family stop, particularly with small children. Try to come during the "running of the goats"!

Ricardo Nichols

Fills the void of a City zoo with the caring elements of a farm. A must see for family and kids. The end of day goat run is the cutest thing ever.

Leigh Ratcliff

Great for kids 2-10. Lots of animals and friendly staff.

Joanne Drayton

I always go in late March and April when the baby goats are being born. Get there an hour before the goat run if you want to hang out with them!

Mike Deigan

A must for any family with young kids! Excellent staff and a great mix of animals in a beautiful park with a great ice cream place nearby and a block from the ocean. What more can you ask for?

So fun to see any stuff

Great place for curious little kids.

Tracee Desmarais

Always a Favorite!

Malcolm Howard

Absolutely awesome place to take young kids in Victoria. The goats are great, there is a goat stampede at closing ~4pm, that kids just love it. There are ducks, chickens, pigs, alpacas, miniature horses and more!

Jon Sinclair

Always a good time. Who doesn't love baby goats?

Doug Balkwill

Kids love this place

Catherine Rogers

This is a favourite in Beacon Hill Park. Remember to make a contribution for the upkeep of animals then wander around the farm animal pens. Spring brings the baby goats in the petting pen with their moms. Rabbits, donkeys, chickens, pigs and peacocks are all here. Fun for the children and a good hand washing station when you are done.

Fahad

It's a small farm for the kids

Ryan Fyfe

A must visit in Victoria if you love goats.

Jenn Hampton

The baby goats are so cute!

Anetka Greg

Great little petting zoo for kids.

Tim Stoner

Lovely place to bring some kids to see some kids. Entry by donation means you can't go wrong. Lots of animals walking around free (peacocks and peahens frequently are found in every other animal enclosure) as well as some small cabins that have little birds, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. At the start and end of the day they have an adorable stampede of goats (babies and all) that processes through the whole area. If you have children under 6 they will love this place. If you love animals, any age can come here and enjoy the company of some domestic species.

Laura Boddam

Great little place for the kids! The goats are always a hit to pet, watch run, and brush. It's fun to see where the peacocks will pop up around the whole park.

Stella Lee

A lovely park, farm and garden. There are peacocks all around the grounds. The farm is by donation and has about 4 to 7 stations of animals. Great for a toodler as enough to keep them happy and not over stimulating.

Amanda J

A great place for Children and Adults. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is by donation suggested donation is $3 for kids and $4 for adults. They have an area so you can pet goats and maybe a few will climb on you. Took my 3 year old niece a couple weekends ago and managed to see the goat run. 10 minutes after close is when this event takes place. They go from the petting zoo area to their barn for dinner, the humans act as a barrier while the goats run for their supper, they stop for no one :). I didnt know this happened until a couple weekends ago, would totally go to see again.

Himani Chhotu

Lots of fun the kid! She enjoyed herself

mike smith

Great spot for kids, my daughter goes crazy for the baby goats. Always a good time.

anthony moonan

Always a cool activity to do with kids.

Lovely Experience. Goat Run is fun. Staff great should have port- a- potty.

Barry Artemenko

Great place for kids young and old

Jerry Joseph

Great place for the kids

Blaze S

A wonderful place to spend time with farm animals! There's also a small petting area with goats, and specially baby goats that are a few days and weeks old. There are younger baby goats living in the barn/nursery with their mama. Alpacas, pigs, Chicken, birds ???????? and bunnies are my favorites

Alisa Sha

Great little farm

K Carlson

This petting zoo is a must for kids and adults alike from 1 to 101. Parking is available right beside the entry. Entry is by donation. Featuring some exotic animals as well as common farm animals its claim to fame is the running of the goats twice a day. The running of the goats is a riotous fun event with baby goats galore! They are playful and love to be interacted with. A must for the younger kids or the young at heart. The peacocks are always a beautiful addition to a visit to the park along with the very interesting chickens and ducks. The staff are incredibly nice and very knowledgeable. If you are visiting Victoria or Beacon Hill itself, this stop is a blast and shouldn't be missed!

Rain Farrington

This place never gets old

There's peacocks, donkeys, ducks, birds etc. and a goat run the happens in the morning and afternoon. The park across the street is a nice walk to do before or after. There are public washrooms located around the park as well as a few different playgrounds with different equipment for the kids.

Angie Olayide

It was great

Scott M

Excellent pace to take the kids. We spent a lot of money on different things to take the kids to and this was the most fun. We made our donation, and it was well worth it. The goats were so fun, to pet and brush. The peacocks were all over and beautiful. There were ducks, pigs, bunnies, donkeys, miniature horse, and alpacas. It was clean and the staff were very friendly. The running of the goats was really exciting for the kids. This happens at 10:10 every morning. Great place and the park itself is beautiful.

Paul Wilson

Always have a great time here. The staff are friendly, the zoo is kept as clean as it can be, and it's fun playing with the baby goats. Sure I'm an adult but it's always a great time. Great place for kids, and the closing goat run is awesome!

It is so beautiful

Asiyah Aleem

The kids had a lovely experience. It's FREE, but u can give a donation suggested amount is $4 per adult and $3 per kid. Coz of covid the kids are not allowed to enter into the fenced area of the animals. The animals are not be brought to the fence as well. If the animals come to the fence then thebkids cam pet it, otherwise they just watch. There r chickens, ducks, donkeys, budgies, alpaca, chicks, pig. Because of covid everyone over 12yrs have to wear masks.

Stacy Mathieson

A bit disappointing, very small and not much to see.

When my granddaughter was in town we attended the goat stampede at beacon hill children’s farm. This was our second time as we saw it last year as well. It was a lot of fun cheering on the baby goats as they ran to the petting area of the farm. Then there’s an opportunity to brush and pet the goats. Such a fun experience! This is a must do activity for the little ones. :)

Pretty little petting zoo that is nicely laid out to walk around easily. Suuuper busy in the goat petting pen, with about a thousand human kids trying to pet a handful of goat kids...very hectic yet still somehow it was organized chaos. I loved all the animals but the pigs the best! Gorgeous roaming peacocks too.

Dave W

Great place to go kids love it would be cool if they could throw something new in as it is the same every year but we still go several times a year

This place was such a treat! The animals are well cared for and the staff we met were very nice. The goats were hilarious, it was hard for us to leave! (Low ratings here seem to be from people who want them and their kids to be entertained by animals. This is a place to interact with farm critters on their terms!)

Just simple fun.

I will always love the petting zoo. Not much has changed and the goats are always adorable.

Great for the family

Such a neat place. Kids love it (so do the adults). Peacocks walking around and lots of animals to check out. They do a Stampede of Goats at 10:10am and 5:10pm daily which is worth catching! Admission is by donation so please donate what you can to keep this place going!

Courtney Oram

Donations only, clean and well taken care of.

A good place to go with kids. You get to meet a variety of farm animals and get to pet the goat.

Decent farm for kids to see goats, a pig . The guinea pigs are best.

The petting zoo at Beacon Hill Park is a wonderful place to take your kids/grandkids, and visitors to Victoria. We go there often and always enjoy interacting with the variety of animals they have. Admission in by donation. Explore Beacon Hill Park while there. A truly beautiful park.

Always a fun experience especially the goat stampede!

It has some good animals but it would have been nice to have more animals in the petting area as they only have goats. I wouldn't go again.
