The Great American Petting Farm runs from  June 11 - July 6, 2025 from 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. at the Family Funville at the 2025 San Diego Fair.

Get up close and personal with adorable animals at our petting farm! Have a blast with your family and friends while creating unforgettable memories. Come visit us and experience the joy of the petting farm!

Great American Petting Farm is a very different kind of petting farm. There are absolutely no barriers once inside the enclosure. All of the animals run freely with the public, and the public—and the animals—love it! Each and every one of our friendly animals is hand-raised.

The farm contains a wide variety of animals including llamas, alpacas, fallow deer, Bennett wallabies, African pygmy goats, assorted exotic and domestic goats and sheep, miniature Zebu cattle, Vietnamese potbellied pigs, Bantam chickens, miniature Sicilian donkeys, miniature call ducks, and baby animals born all year long.

The 2025 San Diego County Fair is open June 11 through July 6 (closed Mondays & Tuesdays)

The Fair is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day. Gate entrances close at 10 p.m.
