  • Guided Tour

    Animal Place 17314 McCourtney Road, Grass Valley, CA, United States

    Visit with some of the 300 rescued farmed animals who call Animal Place home and learn about their history. Due to the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza our chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl are quarantined for their safety and will not be accessible to the public. You will be able to spend time with goats, sheep, bunnies, and pigs.

    Tickets must be purchased in advance. We are not able to accommodate walk-in guests at this time.

    Tours last 1.5 hours and entail a lot of walking on flat ground. The facility is wheelchair accessible, although there are some rocky portions of the property.

    You must wear long pants and boots (which we will provide). Socks are not provided, please bring your own. We share the property with wildlife, including rattlesnakes. Boots provide added protection when interacting directly with the large animals.
