A family-friendly children’s discovery farm in Gilbert with seasonal fall and Christmas events—and an animal sanctuary to boot.

About this place
Mother Nature’s Farm is a children’s discovery farm in Gilbert where families can enjoy seasonal traditions and hands-on farm fun. The farm has three generations of history and started as a small pumpkin patch, then grew into an open place to roam with fall festival and Christmas celebrations. There’s also Home Sweet Home Animal Sanctuary on site (a registered nonprofit) with 450+ rescued farm animals.
The website notes hours and pricing change throughout the year—check the calendar for the most current details. It also says they’re open rain or shine and tickets are available upon arrival (no reservation required), with the option to book tours/school trips/private events for larger groups.
Good to know
Service animals are allowed, but comfort/emotional support animals aren’t recognized as service animals under ADA rules. Parking is free and you can buy tickets upon arrival (no reservation required). Once you’re on the farm, concessions and animal feed are cash only; checks aren’t accepted. The farm is open rain or shine, and it’s handicap accessible. The website also says no alcohol and no smoking.
