About Us

Do you miss the opportunity to go to Grandpa's and Grandma's  farm? The next best place is Erickson's Petting Zoo of rural Osakis,MN. This 90-year-old farmstead used to be home to milk cows. Third generation farmers Dave and Pam Erickson, have converted the big red barn into a home for a wide variety of farm animals and birds.

Beside all of the animals, you also can pick all of your favorite vegetables from any one of our gardens. In 2007, we had several varieties of pumpkins, gourds, and squash, tomatoes, sweet corn, cantalopes, watermelons, cucumbers.

Many families, daycares, school groups, and youth organizations have come to see us. Make plans now to come and visit us. We keep our rates reasonable so you can come back often.

We are USDA Licensed and inspected farm. Animals like to be fed, (we have corn available for a small fee). Please remember that animals have teeth, so need to careful with little fingers. When you are finished petting the animals, we have anti-bacterial hand sanitizer to wash your hands with.
