Absolutely heartbreaking. I have never seen animals treated so poorly. The ducks had no water and were so desperate that they immediately started gulping it down when they finally had access to some. When we asked an employee to refill their water, he refused. The rabbits had no water at all. I also saw newborn goats crammed into a small cat crate, crying continuously. During the winter, there were cats that were so cold they could barely move, and nothing was done to help them. No animal deserves to live like this. The lack of basic care and compassion is unacceptable. Based on what I personally witnessed, these animals deserve far better than what they're receiving here. read more

We came on a Sunday to visit with the animals around the barn & had such a fun & neat time! There was plenty of parking in a gravel lot. It was busy with lots of visitors from little kids to college students to grandparents. We went at Halloween time, so there was also a pumpkin patch. You pay at a cashier station at the front & receive a hand stamp. Children up to 12 years are $6, while 13 years+ are $4. However, for each paid child admission, an adult gets in for free. You then walk to the gate entrance of the barn area & listen to some instructions from staff about handling animals & not running, supervising younger children, etc. No food or drinks are allowed, so a lot of bottles were left in a hay bale area by the entry. We were able to get up close & personal with chicks, chickens, ducklings, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, ponies, a calf, piglets, bunnies, a donkey, & kittens! Little one really enjoyed getting to groom the small goats with available brushes & combs. The goats just wandered the enclosed area. Most animals were in pens you could enter or reach into. There's some signage about the animals & protocols/warnings for how to interact with them, such as making sure to be sitting on hay bales while holding animals securely & closing gates. Staff went around to correct people who weren't following safety rules. You can spend as much time as you want seeing all the animals. At times we had to be patient waiting for a turn. Occasionally we saw the chicks being swapped out to get a rest from the petting. The animals were fairly docile & quiet. Apparently the animals are for sale. A hand washing station is off to the side of the barn. read more

What an awesome experience for the kids. We visited Impossible Acres for a field trip and my girls had a BLAST!! To be able to touch, hold and play with the animals in that capacity was a special experience. For their age, I felt like the farm was the perfect size but for older kids, I'm not sure if they would have as much fun because it is a smaller experience. The employees were extremely friendly and answered all of our questions thoroughly. And the pricing is perfect for the experience being had. We will define back. Just a super cute and very cool experience. I highly recommend. read more

If you like to pick fresh berries and stone fruit straight from the source, then check out Impossible Acres Farm on the outskirts of Davis , CA, on Covell Road County 31. The 2023 u-pick season is open right now. The season opened on May 30 and runs approximately to July 30. They are open Wednesday-Sunday 8am-1pm. Don't expect them to be open or stay open on days with super hot temperatures. The u-pick section costs $3 to enter. Berries are $3.99/lb and the stone fruit is $1.75/lb. They have cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums, raspberries, and blackberries. But the cherry season just ended for them. The kind folks will point you in the right direction for the ripest and available fruit and berries so you don't have to wander aimlessly. The animal barn is also open, the entry fee for kids 1-12 years old is $6 and one accompanying adult is free. 13 years and older is $4. In October, they have a pumpkin patch. For more details, check out their instagram and website (Impossibleacrescom). The setup is simple. Nothing fancy. No carnival attractions, no picnic tables, no air conditioned shop, and no food venue. It's a working farm y'all complete with porta toilets. read more

Perfect pumpkin patch for toddlers with baby animals! Our second year here and it doesn't disappoint!

I loooove this place! How cute are the baby animals? Parking can get rough, so better to get there early before the crowds. I went with friends, no kids, and as an adult, it was such a nice outing. read more

This was so much fun! I got to see and hold so many amazing animals and it was such an amazing experience, I didn't feel rushed at all since I believe it's an all day thing (and it was cheap- $4 per adult I think it was $6 per kid) and I wanted to bring home a dozen of every animal All of them had names and they all corresponds with food (aka all the kittens were named after sandwiches, bunnies named fruits and vegetables, goats after candy, etc...) Such an amazing experience I would do it a million times over read more

Fun, friendly staff! Our preschool came for a field trip and everyone had SUCH an amazing morning! Would highly recommend read more

My favorite place to go in October :) Staff is always so friendly and I love to see all the cute animals every year. This year they had kittens, bunnies, goats, pigs, a donkey, sheep, ducks, and chickens. Kids are $6 and adults are $4 for the animals. Such a fun fall activity I look forward to every year. read more

Took my 2 year here on her birthday. A sweet way to celebrate my fall baby with her brother and cousins. My little girl loves animals. It is rare to get the opportunity to get up close to the animals so they really enjoyed it. Lots if hay structures to climb on. The pumpkin patch was really pretty it had green pumpkin vines among the pumpkin which made it a really nice photo spot. read more

My grandkids enjoyed the farm so much and loved seeing, holding and petting the animals. They were extremely fond of the kittens. Especially the girls. I like for them to experience the farm feel. For me, I love all the animals. I have to say the chickens are my favorite. My grandparents always had them on their little farm in Mt. View. The time there was very enjoyable. read more

I can't give this farm a 4 or 5 even though they have very friendly staff for both the U-pick and the petting farm, mainly because I was disappointed in the U-pick. Today was the last day to pick and we were told it was only the fruit trees. You're required to pay a $3/person entry fee which is understandable for the fact you can't truly watch the pickers and there's possibility of people trying the fruit. At the same time, there was barely any fruit that was worth picking. Walking through the peaches, plums and apricots, there were trees with fruit but mostly all were not ripe for the picking. But now I've already committed myself to picking something since I paid $6 to enter with my son. If I didn't pay an entry fee I wouldn't have considered any of the fruit worth picking, which I'm sure others walking around had similar thoughts. read more

We came here upon recommendation from a coworker for their petting farm. It was $4 for our 2-year old which includes admission for one adult, and then we had to pay $6 for a second adult since our daughter was free under 1 year old. There were several animals to pet and each area has their own rules, and some have an age minimum to hold the pets. We went 30 minutes after they opened on a Saturday and it was already pretty busy and the parking lot was almost full, so I'd definitely recommend coming early! We were still able to easily get to each animal though and it was so cool for my son to get up close and not behind the gates like most places! They have hand washing stations also which made for easy cleanup afterward. It would be nice if they had maybe a food truck or some kind of drink vendor so it would make you want to hang around after. But otherwise it's a great place that isn't too overpriced and fun for the family! read more

Amazing! Love the staff and events. Animals are adorable! Went there twice and plan to visit more this year.

I go here every year! Parking (most days ) is free. You do pay to pet lots of different animals, but it's worth it. They have pumpkins, goats, corn mazes, porta potty's, and lots more. If you're into instagram, you have to go here! read more

Great place for kids especially up to 10 years old. Lots of hands-on. I'd recommend closed-toe shoes due to the orchard and barn debris.

Came here last week Wednesday to take our toddler son fruit picking. Got some cherries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, and apricots. They even sell fresh farm eggs (chicken & duck). It's cheap entrance to get in, and they also have farm animals for kids to play with. This is a great family farm! Only wish they had some games set up for kids to play. But otherwise really enjoyed our visit. Plan to come every year since it's so close to home! read more

My first review got deleted. Hmm. I have been taking my daughter here for the past 4 years. This year though will be our last. There is no capacity of people they let into the farm at one time. So essentially you couldn't even walk through without walking through people. None of the "farmers" are walking around to be a voice for these animals. I sat and held a duck for 20 minutes just so it could have a break. In JUST that 20 minutes, I watched ducks get dunked into water for "swim school" over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. It never stopped. As soon as one was done getting dunked, it gets put right back into the bin with the others until the next person grabs it and does the same thing-seconds later. The towels to dry them off were soaking wet. Not to mention the area where they have "flight school". The amount of people i saw take a baby chicken and hold them high in the air telling them to fly, when really they fell straight down to the bin- was heartbreaking. I haven't even started on the issue about the cow. Peter Pan is the first animal my daughter and I go to every year. We have countless pictures with him. He never seems to grow though? I know last year this farm had some people report the farm because of the look and wellness of especially Peter Pan. This year, they put a sign up saying this cow is NEW and he's a BABY. this is NOT true. That is still the same cow as other years. Proof is in my 4 years of pictures. Its wonderful playing with animals, and baby animals at that, but something is NOT right here. I will not be going back. This is no longer a tradition my daughter and i will be doing. I will no longer be supporting this farm. read more

The animals were soo sad. Baby bunnies, kittens, chicks, and ducks with no moms in sight. There was signs instructing how to handle them, but no staff was around enforcing it! The enclosures were dirty. Kittens were in a small cage walking on wire floor, many of them had crusty eyes or poop smeared on them. The bunnies were so obviously terrified--ears flat, hearts pounding out of their chests. All the animals are for sale (to be given to the prospective adopters after Halloween). We looked in the adoption book and nothing had been written. What happens to the animals no one takes? This establishment is so cruel. You can tell they solely care about the money they make off these animals. I watched parents let their kids manhandle the bunnies and kittens. A "flight school" for baby chicks that just equated to them being dropped to the floor by kids. The poor kittens were exhausted and seemed sick. There's enough cats in shelters. Breeding them for money is cruel. This place should be shut down or enforce their rules regarding the animals much more strictly. It was so obvious they only see these animals as a source of profit. read more

This place is not ethical in their usage of animals. The baby cow is way too young to be exposed to so many people who are carrying diseases from other animals and the outside. The kittens are very young, and there is even a section where they are only a few weeks old. This is unacceptable for their health, and there are literally no farmers or people around to make sure that people are handling the animals properly. I saw children THROWING the ducks at "flight school" while laughing and parents doing nothing. Not to mention, I had a conversation with one of the owners who said that they would breed the rabbits YEAR-ROUND to get the "softest" and most "well-tempered" bunnies. Therefore, one can only assume when a bunny has their natural natures of being more skiddish and fearful..... I can't speak for the welfare of the animals that are long-term residents such as the donkey and larger pig who seem loved, but the ones that are clearly seasonal are gut wrenching and so sad. This is terrible animal welfare. read more

Good for the price. Friendly staff that help point you to where the ripe fruits are. There were bunnies, kittens, baby goats, chicks, and ducklings at the animal barn when I went. read more

Came here as a Halloween pumpkin patch suggestion from a former elite. And they know my taste and they know what I like and I like animals and impossible acres supply them. They offer an immersive and close and personal family fun pet opportunity. They have baby goats chickens ducks kittens puppies and more and all you could touch and hold. This is such an awesome educational experience I've never been a duck before or got to be then never pet a chicken before and it really gives children a chance to bond and get to know animals they have goats baby goats baby pig awaits a pig pig ponies in the morning definitely have to come in for the price of only six dollars free for adults with children you can't beat it come on down and enjoy the fight they have corn mazes and pumpkins and if you could purchase as well. read more

I hate having to write this review. This place could be something really special. But it seems they don't care for the animals as they should. Lots of bone dry water bowls in 93° heat the other day. I had to flag someone down after I saw how the kittens looked. Floppy, extremely lethargic. Some could barely lift their head or open their eyes. It's one thing to be exhausted from being manhandled by young children all day... but this was different. I immediately told a staff member and their water bowl was filled (only one bowl for 5-6 kittens) the kittens went RIGHT to their water and took turns drinking. Poor things. If you see something, say something! Don't assume the staff know what's best! read more

Impossible Acres Farm - dehydrated cat - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Davis, California

This is the second year I come during October. This year I decided to go on a Sunday and it was very packed full of people. It is a cute small place with baby animals to pet, but the animals were not taken care of (at least during business hours). There's mistreatment of the animals from some of the visitors and some negligence from the staff during open busy hours. I had mixed emotions during my experience there because I loved seeing the animals, but felt guilty for being one of the numerous people that wanted to pet them. The animals looked extremely tired and some even hurt by little kids (there was a chick that was laying on it's side without being able to move after a kid held it). If you think about it, these animals work from opening to closing without a break on busy days like the weekends. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE STAFF: 1) Provide at least a 10 minute break to the animals every hour during rush hours (not being lifted or petted during this time) 2) Provide drinkable water to all animals and make sure to refill it with clean water throughout the day (the chicks and ducklings didn't have access to water) 3) Have an employee per area to supervise and make sure animals are being handled/petted carefully. (I know that should be the parents job, but unfortunately not all parents do that. And they're your animals, so y'all should still ensure your animals' safety.) ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTION: 1) If y'all are unable to do that and keep an eye on the safety of the animals during business hours, then at least have a maximum capacity of people that can enter the pet farm at a time. Maybe even make people do appointments online to avoid having too many people in the pet farm area. My point is that the animals at the pet farm can be much more taken care of and can be a better experience for everyone (humans and animals). read more

Not enough care for the delicate animal: kittens and baby chicks etc.. Unsupervised young children mistreating them, super crowded and difficult to find workers. So incredibly heartbreaking. There was even a baby duck bathing section which was totally unsupervised and amounted to duck waterboarding. A poor goat had been poked in the eye which was oozing and he was trying to get away from a child trying to ride him. and another baby goat was dropped in its back. I felt sick leaving this place. read more

This is an update now that we are less worried about outdoor Covid transmission. We go every year, and to be honest last year I was a little worried about the animals -- they seemed to be understaffed and there was less supervision and the animals seemed stressed. This year was completely different. Tons of staff around, strict enforcement of rules, animals rotated regularly. The newborn puppies had two teenaged "guards" to make sure nobody tried to pick them up, and they only came out briefly and then straight back to their mother. In all I was really impressed about how they have revamped their procedures to address animal welfare. My kids are now too old for most Halloween stuff and this is all the really want to do: come to the farm and hold a kitten for a while. Who among us doesn't need to snuggle a baby duck. Thanks, Impossible Acres, for addressing concerns and putting the animals first. read more

I wanted to love this place so much! It was cute and my kids were so happy to get to hold baby animals. However, I haven't been able to stop thinking about the horrible conditions that the animals had to live in. The chicks seemed to be nearly dead and had NO water in their cage. The kittens were adorable but seemed way too young and only had one third bowl of dirty water between six or so of them and no food that I saw, a sheep was terrified in the corner and running from the kids trying to pet it. Every single animal looked miserable and terrified. My kids had a blast, but I was stunned that any animal lover could love this place. read more

So much fun to visit and see the animals, as well as their pumpkin patch and berry picking when in season!! Highly recommend!!

I visited Impossible Acres last Friday. Mask requirements were not enforced (many of the employees working in/around the petting zoo weren't even wearing masks themselves), and though there were signs up requiring masks, many of the adult guests ignored the order and the staff did nothing to make sure they were following the rules. The kittens did not appear to be in good shape - many had runny noses and crusty eyes. It's now been a week since I visited the farm and pet the kittens, and my two indoor house cats are sick. My vet, who is familiar with Impossible Acres and how they treat their animals, thinks I transmitted a virus from the sick kittens to my house cats via my shoes, hands, or clothing. This place is not worth the risks, both to humans (COVID) and the animals. Go somewhere else. read more

Really horrible experience. My kids left crying. Baby animals mistreated horribly. Tiny kittens that should be nursing but we're in a bucket?? And not one worker watching the kids with animals. Toddlers were picking up animals by their head and tossing them. Absolutely Disgusting and will be reported. read more

Very disappointed in the care of the animals. Almost 90 degrees and no shade or cold water for BABY ANIMALS. Young calf seemed to be barely coherent and the baby goats were frantically trying to get away from the people and children swarming around. Pumpkins were fine. read more
