The kids had a great time, the staff that they have are friendly. However, the animals aren't properly cared for. They expect the patents to keep their kids from being little jerks to the animals, which isn't enough. In addition to the animals being bothered by children for hours on end, they have to live weeks of their own urine and feces. A hard worker could have all of the animals' areas cleaned, fresh hay and water in about 2-3 hours per day. There's no excuse to have animals living in such filth.

Such a fantastic family day trip! The staff were very friendly and the whole experience was so much fun. Goat milking a huge hit!

Pigs were bitting at us. Do not go in the pen with little ones
Really expensive for what it is. $70 for two adults and two kids and a concession fee (not sure what that is for). Could have more interactive with guides. Would not go again.response / report this review -

Four and five stars out of five. It was great. Lots of little goats and lots of other things that are very nice to pet and to look at. It was also nice to play with the small cars in the playground area.

Very poor. There is virtually no supervision and what little there is comprises of teenage kids. I saw a young child picking up the baby goats and throwing them at least four times. The child's father did nothing and became abusive when I asked them to stop throwing the goats. When I informed the office about the maltreatment, a teenager finally came over just saying "Please don't throw the baby goats Sweetie. They don't like it". In addition, I saw the kids on the summer camps totally unsupervised picking up and squeezing the newborn chicks (despite the signs not to even pick them up). Many of the animals seemed miserable and several of chicken were partially bald and seemed to be plucking their own feathers out. I love animals and will not be going to Butterfield Acres again to see them being mistreated mainly due to poor supervision.

The animals here are so sweet! This is a must for any animal lovers, young or old as my partner and I are adults we still went and had a blast, spending 2 hours there! There's a lot to do, lots of interaction with the animals and a lot that you can learn! There are wayyy more animals than the pictures that I've added but I ran out of space to take more!
I've gone to Butterfield acres as a child and am glad that I've gone again even though it's been many years.
I believe that the best times to go would be late June, July, and maybe August! And get there early as it gets a little packed around 12-1response / report this review -

Went lots as a kid and wanted to take my family. I have a son who is a year and a half and walking and a little girl who is just three months old. So for the family it would have cost us just as much to go to butter field acres as it would have to go to the Calgary zoo. So we did what most people would do went to the zone because at least there we get to see exotic animals. We can go to any farmers field and pet the farm animals. I hope that Butterfield reassess their business plan and comes up with more value to potential customers.

Great spot to take kids. Rabbit run is a highlight for kids to pet rabbits.

Very fun place. We took our tiny toddler for a pumpkin hunt with a hay ride and pumpkin decorating. She liked it even though I think at 14 months she was a bit young. She seemed to have fun, but the older kids had a blast! We'll definitely go again this year.

Lovely place, a little pricey but this kind of field acres need more money for running. My kids love this place, I advise to get a map in front door otherwise you will confuse in different areas.

A great insight into farm life for the kids.
Access to the animal enclosures with wash stations at each one.
Bring a quarter and grab a cone of seed at the entrance to feed the animals.. watch out for those crazy goats!response / report this review -

My kids LOVE this place. Always a day full of fun and excitement. The staff are so sweet and make you feel right at home. The baby goats are our favourite.
