Birthday Parties- Have your child's birthday party here at Erickson's Petting Zoo.  New in 2009 is our Party Shed.  Expanded play area with bounce house, games and picnic tables under cover.  Another new addition for 2009 is our Orange Maze.  We don't have food here, but you are welcomed to bring your own. (All food stays in the party shed, no eating around the animals.) Reservations are needed for birthday parties.  Times for the Party Shed are 10:00 a.m. or 1:00p.m.  Can also do early evening if that works better for you.  Just call 320-762-0184 or 320-491-3578  or email dave@ericksonspettingzoo.com Basic Birthday Party Package: petting zoo, party shed, orange maze and outside play area.  Rate is $5.00 per child, minimum of 10 children.  For children 75 lbs or less, can add pony rides for $3.00 more per child.  Adult charge is $5.00 per person. Make your child's birthday special, celebrate it with our animals and play area.
School Trips-  Why not make your next school trip a farm adventure.  Make the outing, both an educational and fun learning experience.  We do both spring and fall field trips.  Spring is always full of new baby animals.  Children can check out all the animals and birds.  Large outside play area and the Orange Maze.  Also have the party shed if it isn't booked. Admission rate for field trips is $5.00 per person.  This includes both children and adults.  If field trips are booked when we are all here, (we all work off the farm).  Will also include pony rides for children 75 pounds or less for  only $1.00 per rider. With all of the animals and play areas, fall also brings more activities with corn maze and pumpkin patch.  For the same rate of $5.00 per person, get all of the above activities plus a tractor ride to corn maze and pumpkin patch.  Book your field trip early for the day you want.   (If the weather is rainy around the time you come out have the kids wear old shoes or boots.)
