Tours are offered every day but by appointment only. To book a tour text/call (leave a message) 321-626-9396 or email happinesshorsefarm@gmail.com
We only allow one tour per day so if you book a tour it is important you show up as time has been reserved for you and treat buckets have been prepped. Tours typically book out a week or so in advance lately so be sure to book ahead of time to ensure you get the date you want.
Tours last typically about 45 mins and during the tour you will be escorted around the farm to meet, greet and feed the sanctuary residents. Guests are welcome to take photos of and with the animals. We do not offer riding at tours.
Due to the increased cost of feed, we are now requiring a minimum donation of $5/person which is just enough to cover the cost of the feed supplied to you... it is NOT a donation to the sanctuary to help the animals. If you would like to support the sanctuary anything over $5 is a donation and will go directly to the feed and medical care of our residents.
Donations can be made via cash, check (made out to Will's Way Animal Sanctuary), Zelle to 321-626-9396 or via credit card: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/farm-tour-donation and are tax deductible and very much appreciated.
