How can I book a reservation for the Community Tour?
Community tours usually take place on Saturdays and Sundays. We are in the process of upgrading to include scheduling software. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and ask that you contact [email protected] to learn of and sign up for available times. Please Read Before Booking:
COVID-19 Safety: Our staff takes the safety of our community seriously and we are adhering to the most current COVID-19 safety protocols for our County. These protocols are subject to change. What exactly is a sanctuary? As a non-profit farm animal sanctuary, our priority is the physical and emotional well being of the rescued animals who call Skyheart Sanctuary home. Our animal residents always have a choice as to whether or not they want to interact with visitors and will reside at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives. In contrast, the goal of a petting zoo is profit and entertainment, meaning that animals may be forced to be handled regardless of what they want and are often discarded when they are no longer profitable. By sharing the stories of our rescued residents, they are able to serve as animal ambassadors to help visitors learn more about the challenges animals like them face in our world and see these often misunderstood beings in a new light. Skyheart Sanctuary is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit. All donations and registration costs are tax deductible. What should I expect? We are a working farm animal sanctuary, so please expect to do some walking, potentially get dirty, and be exposed to the natural weather elements (rain, heat, wind). Also expect to meet some amazing farm animals and hear their incredible stories. Tours last about 60 minutes and involve about 1/2 mile of walking. What should I wear? If you would like to go into the animal pastures, please wear closed toe shoes. Boots are preferable, but any closed toe shoe will do. If you are wearing clothing that we do not think is safe to be with the animals, we may ask you to wait outside the pastures. What should I bring? Please bring a water bottle in the summer months as it gets hot! We have limited shade and coverings, so an umbrella and/or hat could be useful as well. Please do NOT bring any food or really yummy smelling items on your body or in your purse during the tour as our animals love to eat! Feel free to bring your camera and take pictures.
