Refund policy
Donkey River Farm Refund & Reschedule Policy
All sales are final. No refunds will be issued.
Our events, animal experiences, classes, camps, and private bookings have limited capacity. We schedule staff, prepare animals, purchase supplies, and reserve your spot based on confirmed bookings. For this reason, all purchases are non-refundable, including cancellations due to illness, scheduling conflicts, changes of plans, or inability to attend.
Rescheduling
We understand that plans can change. When enough notice is provided, we are happy to allow one reschedule per booking, subject to availability.
Please contact us at least:
| Booking Type | Minimum Notice Required |
|---|---|
| Farm events, animal cuddle sessions & mini photo sessions | 48 hours |
| Camps & multi-week classes | 7 days before the start date |
| Birthday parties & private events | 14 days before the event |
Rescheduled bookings must be used within 90 days of the original booking date, unless otherwise approved by Donkey River Farm.
Requests received after the applicable deadline are not eligible for rescheduling, credits, or refunds.
No-shows are not eligible for refunds, credits, or rescheduling.
Late Arrivals
Late arrivals are welcome; however, your experience will still end at the originally scheduled time. We cannot extend sessions when guests arrive late because other bookings may immediately follow yours.
Ticket Transfers
If you cannot attend, most event tickets and animal experience bookings may be transferred to a friend or family member.
Please contact us before the event with the name of the person attending in your place.
Weather & Farm Conditions
Donkey River Farm events are generally held rain or shine. Light rain, heat, cold, mud, or other normal outdoor conditions do not qualify for refunds or credits.
Because we work with live animals and operate an outdoor farm, schedules, animals available for interaction, and specific activities may occasionally change for animal welfare, safety, weather, or operational reasons. These changes do not automatically qualify a booking for a refund.
If Donkey River Farm cancels an event or experience entirely because of severe weather, an animal emergency, unsafe conditions, or another circumstance on our end, guests will be offered either:
-
Admission to a rescheduled date, or
-
A Donkey River Farm credit equal to the amount paid.
Cash refunds are not provided unless Donkey River Farm determines otherwise.
