Admission-Free, The Emery Farm Petting Zoo In New Hampshire Is The Perfect Day Trip Destination

There's a ton to do in New Hampshire, but not everything is fully accessible to everyone. Some of the most fun activities in the state often come with steep price tags. Getting outside is always a great way to enjoy something local without spending a ton of money, but that also requires enjoying...the outdoors. That's not for everyone and we get it. For those looking to have a great day out without breaking the bank head to this farm in Durham!

Welcome to Emery Farm, the oldest family farm in the United States. The farm has been owned by the same family since 1660 and the casual, family atmosphere can be felt through and through.

There's a lot to enjoy here, including a market and cafe. But we love making a day trip out of visiting the fun petting farm.

The market and cafe is full of delicious food and snacks, but the petting farm is cute and small.

This is certainly not the type of place where you see animals you'll forget as soon as you leave.

The animals here are treated like family and there are just a few which means they have plenty of room to roam and there's lots of love to go around.

Emery Farm is home to Maggie and Claire, donkeys who live here during warmer months. Along with goats, Gemini, Ollie and Oak.

Don't forget about adorable Aimee, the tiniest bunny member of the family. All of the animals love meeting visitors and kids love meeting them.

Meet the adorable animals the head to the market for a delicious snack.

Emery Farm is a fantastic day trip for those looking for a good way to entertain the family without taking out a small loan to do it.

And, each season offers something new. Visit over-and-over again and experience something new each time.

Emery Farm is open every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can learn more about the farm by checking out their website. Or, follow them on Facebook to get the latest news and to find out about upcoming events. They can be reached on 603-742-8495.

If you do love exploring the outdoors there are tons of things to enjoy. In fact, this New Hampshire waterfall is the coolest thing you'll see for free!
