Hike & Lunch with Llamas

The best part of this New Brunswick farm visit is the slow walk with llamas and goats through pastures, woodland, and beside a river. You begin with chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and other birds, then finish with a 10-inch wood-fired pizza served outdoors among the llamas.

I like the friendly, hands-on farm time, especially the chance to feed animals and perhaps gather fresh eggs. I also like that the walk is gentle and open to all ages and abilities. The main drawback is the setting: this is a weather-dependent outdoor activity, so a rainy day can change or cancel your plans.

Key points

• Walk beside llamas and goats: A calm countryside stroll replaces a fast-moving sightseeing schedule.
• Start with the barnyard: Feed chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and other birds, with a chance to gather eggs.
• Eat pizza in the pasture: Your lunch is a 10-inch wood-fired pizza made with farm-fresh ingredients.
• Small and private: Only your own group takes part, which makes the visit more personal.
• Plan around the weather: Poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.
• Good for families and mixed abilities: The walk is designed for all ages and abilities, with service animals allowed.

A slow morning at Dancing Goat Therapy Farm

Dancing Goat Therapy Farm offers a different kind of New Brunswick outing. You are not racing between viewpoints or checking off a long list of attractions. You are spending time around animals, walking at an easy pace, and eating pizza outside.

That slower rhythm is the point. The llamas are presented as gentle animals that can help you settle into the visit. You may arrive thinking mostly about the food or the photos, but the appeal is the quiet routine: feed the birds, meet the llamas, walk through the farm, then sit down for a meal.

The farm is at 1072 Tripp Settlement Road in Burtts Corner, New Brunswick. The activity lasts about two hours and ends where it begins. Since this is a private activity, only your group participates. That matters if you want time to ask questions, take photos, or let children approach the animals without the pressure of a large crowd.

The experience is offered in English. Mobile tickets are accepted, and confirmation is provided when you book.

Meeting the birds before the llama walk

Your visit begins in the barnyard. Chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and other birds welcome you before you meet the larger animals.

This first part gives you a chance to get comfortable around farm animals. You can spend time with the birds, feed them, and possibly gather fresh eggs. That last detail depends on what is available during your visit, so treat it as a pleasant possibility rather than a promised part of every outing.

For families, this opening section may be especially useful. Young children can watch and feed smaller animals before moving on to the llamas and goats. Adults may appreciate it just as much, since it makes the visit feel like time spent on a working farm rather than a quick photo stop.

You should wear clothing and shoes that suit an outdoor farm setting. The supplied details do not specify footwear rules or restroom arrangements, so ask the farm directly if you have a particular need. The practical aim is simple: dress for the weather and expect to spend the visit outside.

Walking with llamas and goats through the countryside

After the barnyard visit, you meet the llamas and goats. The walk passes through their pastures, a woodlot, and along a river.

This is the heart of the activity. The pace is intentionally slow, giving you time to watch the animals and take in the farm surroundings. Keep an eye out for local wildlife as you walk, although no specific species are promised.

The walk is described as suitable for all ages and abilities. That makes it a useful choice for a family group or a private party with different fitness levels. Still, the exact surface, distance, and terrain are not specified, so anyone with mobility concerns should contact Dancing Goat Therapy Farm before booking.

Llamas are also the main photo opportunity. You can take selfies with your llama, but remember that animals set the pace. A calm approach will usually make for a better visit than trying to force a perfect picture. The private format should give your group more room to enjoy the animals without feeling rushed.

The setting beside the river and through the woodlot adds variety to what could otherwise be a simple pasture walk. You get open farm areas, trees, and water in one short route. The activity does not promise a major wilderness hike, and it should not be booked as one. Think of it as a gentle farm walk with animals at the center.

Why the therapy-farm setting matters

Dancing Goat Therapy Farm frames its animals as calming companions. That idea shapes the visit more than any formal sightseeing program would.

The llamas and goats are not just there for photographs. You spend time near them, walk with them, and then eat in their pastures. That repeated contact gives the activity a more relaxed feel than a quick petting-zoo visit.

I would recommend this outing to anyone who enjoys quiet animal encounters. It may suit you if you want a break from busy attractions, if you are visiting with children, or if your group includes people who prefer a gentle outdoor activity.

It is less suitable if you want a strenuous hike, a packed schedule, or a large educational tour with a detailed natural-history presentation. The information provided focuses on the animals, the farm, the walk, and the meal. It does not promise a formal talk about local ecology or llama care.

Pizza cooked over a wood fire

Once the walk ends, you eat with the llamas in the farm pastures. Your outdoor dining room is the farm itself.

Each person receives a 10-inch wood-fired pizza made with farm-fresh ingredients. The listed choices are cheese, Hawaiian, and meat pizza. That is a solid meal for a two-hour activity, though you should check directly with the farm about dietary restrictions, substitutions, or vegetarian and allergy needs because those details are not provided.

The pizza is more than a standard packed lunch. You may get to take part in making it, perhaps by tossing the dough in the open air or watching it bake in the wood-fired oven. This part is not guaranteed, so consider it an added possibility rather than a fixed workshop.

Eating outside with llamas nearby gives the meal its character. You are not leaving the farm for a café after the walk. The food remains tied to the place, the animals, and the farm setting.

The activity description allows the picnic to be arranged for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The regular operating hours listed are Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., from April 17, 2024, through February 21, 2027. Since the meal time depends on the date and time you arrange, confirm the exact schedule when booking.

Is the $56.20 price good value?

The price is $56.20 per person. To judge that fairly, look at what is included in the two hours: time with barnyard animals, a llama and goat walk, possible egg gathering, a private group format, and an individual 10-inch pizza.

That makes the price reasonable for someone who values a personal farm visit and a meal in an unusual setting. You are paying for more than a short animal encounter. The activity combines several small experiences into one visit, and the private format adds value for families or couples who want time to themselves.

The price may feel less attractive if you mainly want a quick photo with a llama or if your group has little interest in the meal. It is also worth checking how children are priced and whether special food requests cost extra, since those details are not stated.

The activity is often booked about 17 days ahead. That suggests planning early, especially if you need a particular date or want to fit it into a larger New Brunswick road trip.

Practical planning for your farm visit

The meeting point is 1072 Tripp Settlement Road, Burtts Corner, NB E6L 1X8. The activity ends back at that same location, and no transportation to or from the farm is described. Plan your own route to the property.

You receive confirmation at booking, and the activity is available by mobile ticket. It is offered in English. Service animals are allowed.

The walk is suited for all ages and abilities, but the details do not state the route length, ground conditions, or specific accessibility equipment. If you use a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility aid, contact the farm before paying so you can confirm what the path through the pastures, woodlot, and river area is like.

Weather matters. The farm can cancel in poor conditions and offer another date or a full refund. That policy is sensible for an outdoor meal and animal walk, but it means you should keep some flexibility in your schedule.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted. The cut-off follows local time.

Who will enjoy this most?

This is a strong choice for families who want a low-key farm outing. Children get animals, food, and room for photos, while adults get a gentler pace than a full-day attraction.

It also suits couples, small private groups, and anyone who likes animals more than formal sightseeing. The llama walk provides a simple shared activity, and the pizza gives the visit a clear ending.

Nature lovers may enjoy watching for wildlife along the route, but you should keep expectations modest. This is a farm experience with a countryside walk, not a dedicated wildlife tour.

People who need a very precise schedule should pay attention to the weather policy and the flexible breakfast, lunch, or dinner arrangements. The same flexibility that makes the activity personal can require a little more communication before you arrive.

The current rating is 5 out of 5 from 26 ratings, with 100 percent recommending it. The strongest point is the combination of animal contact and a friendly farm host. The visit is built for interaction, so it works best when you are willing to slow down and take part.

Should you book Hike & Lunch with Llamas?

Book it if you want a private, gentle farm outing with real animal contact and a wood-fired pizza meal. The chance to feed barnyard birds, walk with llamas and goats, and eat in the pasture gives the two hours a clear sense of place.

Skip it if you want a demanding hike, a guaranteed pizza-making lesson, or a fully weatherproof plan. The activity depends on outdoor conditions, and some details, including accessibility surfaces and food substitutions, need to be confirmed in advance.

For the right group, $56.20 buys a pleasant change of pace in New Brunswick. Bring an open schedule, dress for the weather, and let the llamas set the tempo.
