Founded in 1986 as the nation’s first refuge for farm animals, Farm Sanctuary invites you to wander rolling pastures and meet cows, pigs, goats, and chickens now flourishing after rescue. With peaceful locations in New York’s Fing...
This sanctuary has built a loyal following for good reason. The rescued animals are well cared for, the grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the staff consistently earns praise for being warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their work. Visitors return year after year, some coming back for a sixth stay in the on-site tiny houses, and special events like the turkey celebration draw equally enthusiastic crowds. Tours cover the stories behind the rescued animals and touch on broader issues with factory farming, so it's worth knowing ahead of time that the experience leans into animal welfare advocacy. Parents of young children may want to ask about content before booking, as some of the imagery and stories can be intense for sensitive kids. For adults and older children who come with open minds, most find it eye-opening and genuinely moving.
