Sensory-Friendly Open Barnyard at Weir River Farm

Welcome to Sensory-Friendly Open Barnyard at Weir River Farm!


This program offers a dedicated hour with a reduced number of guests and quieter sensory friendly environment. Any family that would benefit from a limited capacity visit is welcome.


During the Sensory-Friendly Open Barnyard series, you’ll have the opportunity to experience life on one of the last working farms on the South Shore. In the barnyard, meet our sheep, goats, and other barnyard friends. See if you can spot our rabbit in his garden! Then consider exploring our farm and woodland trails. Come experience all that Weir River Farm has to offer!


Pre-registration is required for this event. Children 2 and under are free. For more information or to get tickets, visit: https://thetrustees.org/event/426708/

You may borrow noise-reducing headphones and sensory items from the staff in the barnyard for easier access during your visit. Please note that we have a limited number of sensory kits and headphones available and strongly encourage participants to bring anything they expect to need.
