Hands On Farm

Comox’s very own petting farm returns for the 2026 season! Opening this spring, the Hands On Farm invites children of all ages to walk and talk with our barnyard animals starting June 8.

Hours: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, 7 days per week. June 8 – August 16. Reminder that we’ll be closed July 27 – August for the Filberg Festival.

Bring your school, daycare or group to Hands on Farm. Call 250-207-FARM(3276) or email farmer1@comox.ca to book your time. Adults (18 years and older) with groups are free. Group rates apply.

The Hands On Farm program is run through the Comox Recreation Centre.

Cash, debit and credit cards are accepted on site.

To get more information, including admission prices, please visit Hands on Farm | Town of Comox. 

While you’re at the Farm, we encourage you to stroll through the beautiful Park gardens, visit the Filberg Park Lodge, explore the wonderfully maintained heritage home or grab a bite to eat at the Summer Kitchen.

Comox Valley farmers support Hands On Farm with their generous donation of animals for the summer. Support our farmers by buying your produce and farm sales locally.
