The Art Farm | Manhattan, NY

Such an amazing time and wonderful experience (even for two adults!!)!! I booked a private session with my friend to celebrate his recent engagement. We were shown around the place and introduced to the various animals they had. Our guide for the day was extremely kind, informative and helpful with handling the animals. The rabbits, snake, and geckos were probably our favorite to hold! Really amazing experience and I would highly recommend to any animal lovers of all ages!!

We did the 2yr program for our daughter and loved the experience that Art Farm offered her. It was a small group of children that enjoyed a large and bright classroom. The team and staff were always responsive and caring especially in their interaction with the children. The daily interactions with various animals has resulted in a child that is extremely comfortable and respectful of animals. Art Farm will offer your child a wonderful and educational experience!

My son attended Art Farm for both the 2s and 3s. We could not have asked for a better preschool experience. He was part of the wrap around program and attended during the summer as well. The staff and teachers are wonderful, the projects are adorable and the animals make this place truly magical. He was always well-cared for and loved his time there.

Given the overall rating given to this activity, I thought it might be interesting to go and I was really disappointed with the experience. The rooms are very small, the animals are in small cages, the activities are varied but it's possible to do the same ones at home and above all what shocked me is that the children were not supposed to touch the toys in the crates, leave things in their place such as magnifying glasses, insects in their storage glass boxes. The rules are not adapted to children but rather to adults. I'm not going back

My son had a wonderful time at Art Farm camp last summer! There is a great variety of activities, all activities are age appropriate, and the staff is very warm, professional, and responsible. My son especially loved cooking and swimming! My only constructive criticism is: 1) the kids (my son included) get bored with the same two snacks served every week and so it would be great to have some variety and healthier options too and, 2) as a parent, I would love to get a little info on who the counselors/teachers are (maybe a little blurb and photo) before the start of camp. This could also help children make the transition to camp so the counselor is not a complete stranger on the first day.

Our school loved the Art Farm visit! Jen, who came to lead the program, was such a bright and warm person. She explained everything so well to the children and made the experience incredibly fun. She did a wonderful job working with our 3K and 4K classes, keeping everything calm, engaging, and safe for the students. We would absolutely love to have them come back again in the future. One thing to keep in mind is that you may not know exactly which animals will be visiting the school ahead of time, so it’s helpful to speak with them beforehand if you have specific questions about that.

Our experience at The Art Farm has been nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we walk through the doors, the warmth and attentiveness of the teachers are immediately felt. They truly see each child — their personalities, their needs, and their interests — and it shows in the way they interact and engage with them. My son absolutely lights up when he arrives, and it’s been incredible to watch how much he’s grown and thrived in such a nurturing environment. One of the things we appreciate most is the thoughtful balance between early academics and creative arts. The programs are engaging, hands-on, and designed in a way that makes learning feel fun and natural. My son comes home excited to share what he’s done each day. And of course, the petting zoo is such a standout feature — a true gem. It adds such a magical, joyful element to his experience. He talks about the animals constantly, and it’s clear that this unique exposure has helped build his confidence and curiosity. We’re incredibly grateful for the care, creativity, and intention that The Art Farm pours into its programs. It has been a beautiful place for our son to learn, grow, and feel truly happy. Highly recommend!

We have had such a wonderful experience with The Art Farm and our daughter! She started doing their afterschool programs and loved them so much! She has continued to do those, their holidays camps and summer camp. During all of these, the activities, staff, care and attention to our child has been amazing!! She loved them so much, she decided to have her birthday party at The Art Farm too which was an incredible experience! We had to postpone the original date due to our daughter waking up sick on the day of the party and the staff was amazing with all of this. We couldn’t be happier with all of their programming and highly recommend it!

We celebrate our daughter's 3 year birthday here and it was absolutely perfect! My daughter and all her guests had tons of fun. All the activities were amazing - petting the animals, touring the farm and learning about the animals was really a unique experience. We also had a guitarist and it was definitely an excellent addition to a standard birthday package. The kids also did a fair bit of dancing, playing music instruments, had fun with bubbles, did an art project, and there was pizza and birthday cake. There were a lot of things to do during two hours of celebration but it felt just right. The staff team supporting the party did an excellent and seamless job. It was also great that they took care pretty much of everything which is important for busy working parents. Also wanted to add a special mention to the cake that I was able to choose directly through them. It was one of the coolest cakes!

My daughter Nyla absolutely LOVES the Art Farm. She has had two birthdays there which were amazing and so well organised. They have lovely themes to choose from. More recently, she attends their after school programs three times a week on campus and she always leaves absolutely beaming from whatever the project or meal (cooking class) or guest animal was. So so grateful and thrilled that we have such wonderful after-school options from the Art Farm available to us - could not recommend more
