MILK & MEET

Meet our adorable newest arrivals and experience the joy of helping to bottle‑feed baby goats! Each program begins in the Pavilion with a brief introduction to Tollgate’s goats before heading to the animal barn. Our instructor will demonstrate proper bottle‑feeding techniques, then pair participants with a kid goat to feed.

Once feeding time wraps up, the fun continues with playtime in the barn—complete with plenty of opportunities to watch the kids bounce, explore, and show off their playful personalities. Bring your camera and get ready for lots of memorable photo moments!

  • Price: $20 per bottle. Up to two people can attend for each bottle (ex. parent and child)
  • Dates: April 4-May 9
    • Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 6pm
    • Wednesdays and Saturdays at 1pm
    • More dates and times may be added if programs fill
