USU Extension Sponsors Baby Animal Adventures at Bastian Agricultural Center
Utah State University Extension sponsors Baby Animal Adventures on Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25, at the USU Bastian Agricultural Center (BAC) in South Jordan. The event provides visitors with the opportunity to pet, feed, and interact with baby farm animals, including goats, lambs, pigs, chicks, ducks, rabbits, and calves.
In addition, there will be a variety of outdoor activities, including bounce houses, a tractor cart ride, yard games, face painting, food trucks, and agricultural education experiences for kids.
Danika Johnson, BAC event manager, said the animals, tasty food, and fun activities for all ages provide the perfect way for families to spend a day together.
“Those who visit will have a chance to pet, feed, and hold some of the animals,” she said. “Our staff will be on hand to ensure that it is a fun, engaging, and educational experience for all. We can’t wait to share the magic with our community.”
Josh Dallin, BAC executive director, said Baby Animal Adventures is a unique opportunity for families to experience agriculture up close.
“This event helps us fulfill our center’s mission by providing hands-on, experiential learning that brings agricultural education to life in a fun and memorable way,” he said.
Baby Animal Adventures will be held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the BAC, 2100 W. 11400 S., South Jordan. Tickets are $11 for ages 3 and older, free for children 0 to 2 years old, and $50 for a family pass of five people. To purchase tickets, visit the BAC website or purchase at the gate with a card.
