Preparing for Your Visit

Come ready for a day outdoors – Please come appropriately dressed for the weather and for an active day on the farm. This means closed-toed shoes, water, and adequate sun protection. Lightweight pants are more suitable than shorts even on hot days. Reusable water bottles can be filled up in the Silo Lobby.

Children are welcome – The majority of our programming is designed with adults in mind; we leave it to your discretion to decide if your child will engage with our activities. Young adults 12 and up must purchase a ticket to participate, and anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian. We offer several downloadable activity sheets for children that you may print prior to your visit.

Accessibility – We strive to ensure that the Stone Barns Center campus and its buildings are accessible. However, due to the farm’s naturally varied topography, portions of the historic landscape may be inaccessible. The Cafeteria has wheelchair accessible seating. The restroom in the Silo Lobby is wheelchair accessible. For additional questions or assistance with visit planning, please contact info@stonebarnscenter.org.

Weather – All programming at the Center is rain or shine except during thunder, lightning, and blizzards. To find out if a program has been canceled due to inclement weather, please email info@stonebarnscenter.org.

VISITOR HEALTH AND SAFETY

Farm Safety – When visiting, we advise you to wear clothing appropriate for a day out on the farm. You may encounter uneven terrain; farm equipment; and unfamiliar sights, sounds and smells. We encourage you to explore but ask you to respect our farmers’ work as well as our animals and crops by keeping a safe distance and staying on designated paths.

Please remember that many fences are electrified for our animals’ protection. Do not pet our animals. Whenever possible, and always before eating, clean your hands by washing and lathering vigorously for at least 20 seconds before rinsing. Wipes and sanitizers do not provide adequate protection. Children under 5, pregnant people, and individuals with heart disease or compromised immune systems should exercise caution while visiting any farm.
