Glowvember

There's always a reason to visit Our Sensory Farm
Chesapeake, VA

Our Sensory Farm hosts Themed Special Events throughout the season because farmventures happen all year round! We hope the farm inspires our guests to practice connecting to themselves, their environment, and their neighbors through thoughtful discussions and authentic outdoor play.

Situated on three beautiful acres, Our Sensory Farm offers animal encounters, nature trails, a variety of swings, sensory stations, games, art activities, and so much more! We encourage you to get your special events tickets early as availability is limited to maintain smaller group sizes. This helps create a more comfortable, relaxed atmosphere where our guests have easy access to the animals, areas, and activities.

 

Please check our events calendar for current event dates and ticket information!
