Spring is the best time to find Baby Animals in Utah! We love visiting these local farms and venues that have animals we can pet and hold, especially the little babies. Here are some spots where we always enjoy baby animals in Utah. Many of these places hold special Baby Animal events in Utah. We have included all of those dates here (updated 2026).
This is the Place Baby Animal Celebration
One of our favorite stops any time of year in Utah is This is the Place Heritage Park. This state park does such an amazing job making Utah pioneer history come alive. And Spring is such a fun time to visit because the farm is full of baby animals. In 2025, they are holding a Baby Animal Celebration on April 16, 2026. The baby animals will be there all spring, but there will be extra activities available on this date, including pioneer dancing and story time with Bo Peep. March 28 is the beginning of Spring Season at This is the Place, and we can’t wait.
American West Heritage Center Baby Animal Days
This is another stop full of history. American West Heritage Center is located in Wellsville in Cache County near Logan, Utah. This old farm has beautiful grounds to walk through and enjoy the farm, animals, beauty, and old farm buildings. Their baby animal days are extra fun because they bring in baby bear cubs to add to the farm animals. There are three separate weekend events from April 1-4 and 9-11. Check their website for dates, hours, and pricing.
Little Buckaroo Petting Zoo at Gardner Village
The Farm at Gardner Village is now a part of Ricochet Canyon. There is now a petting zoo in Ricochet Canyon at Gardner Village that offers pony rides and feeding the animals. So you can visit the other activities at Ricochet Canyon while you see the baby animals. This cute little farm is also located at Gardner Village where you can find fairies in the springtime, too (arriving mid May).
Hee Haw Farms Spring Event
We love visiting Hee Haw Farms in the Spring or Fall. They always have tons of fun activities like huge slides, hay rides, duck races, and of course, a petting farm. Visiting in the Spring means baby animals all around Hee Haw Farms. We especially love this petting farm because you get to walk right into the large pen with them. The Spring Season at Hee Haw Farms is opening April 10-May 23 in 2026.
Curiosity Farms at Thanksgiving Point
Curiosity Farms at Thanksgiving Point always has a lot of animals since it is a farm, but we love visiting in the Spring to see the baby animals. They have food available to purchase, so you can feed the goats and other animals on the farm. This farm has a whole new look and update, including a fun train ride and amazing playground. In 2025, Curiosity Farms had a Baby Animal Month all of May. We will see if they repeat in 2026.
Cross E Ranch Spring Festival
Cross E Ranch hosts an amazing Spring Festival. They have tons of fun yard activities like slides and ziplines, and barrel train rides. And tons of baby animals that you can pet and cuddle.

Heber Valley Farm Baby Celebration
Heber Valley Artisan Cheese has a little farm in Midway Utah. We took a tour of the farm one day and loved learning about the different robots they are using to make farming more effective. It was so cool! We got to feed the calves, too. One weekend a year in April, they have baby animal days (May 15 & 16, 2026). Lots of local farmers bring different baby animals and they have hay rides and yard games. It sounds like a really fun event. For tickets and hours, visit their website.
Wheeler Historic Farm
Wheeler Farm is a historic working farm in Salt Lake County. This farm is full of animals, and beautiful nature areas. There are wagon rides and cow milkings, as well as a duck pond. In the Spring you will definitely find baby animals on the farm. We love exploring this farm, and they’re playing at the playground, too.
Staehli Farm in St. George
