About Broken Shovels Farm

We just LOVE animals at Family Days Out, and it’s always exciting to discover places where families can immerse themselves in the joys of meeting adorable rescue animals. Welcome to Broken Shovels Farm, a haven for neglected, abused, or homeless animals that have been given a fresh start!

At Broken Shovels Farm, you'll find a lively community of rescued animals including goats, chickens, cows, ducks, pigs, and even a donkey, a goose, along with bunnies and roosters. The farm works closely with local rescue centers, offering these animals a safe and loving environment.

Visiting the farm provides children with invaluable lessons on compassion, animal care, and the importance of helping those in need. The private tours available at Broken Shovels Farm allow your family to delve into the daily operations and care routines that ensure these animals thrive. While there is a cost associated with these tours due to the extra staffing required, it's a unique opportunity to engage directly with the farm's mission.

During your visit, kids can participate in hands-on activities like milking and farm chores, while parents might enjoy a relaxing evening by the fire with a cheese plate or picnic brought from home. It's a rewarding experience that not only educates but also deeply connects families to the animals they help support.

Broken Shovels Farm is a beautiful destination for a family day out in Denver, offering an unforgettable experience of friendship and learning. Your kids will leave with cherished memories and new furry friends who won't soon forget them either!
