The Las Vegas Farm is a weekend stop for a small farm market and visits with rescued animals in northwest Las Vegas. The useful distinction: shopping at the market is free, but entering the animal area costs extra. Come for a relaxed hour or two, with time to browse and watch the animals rather than a long list of scheduled attractions.
At the same property, Barn Buddies Sanctuary cares for rescued farm animals. The official site now uses the sanctuary name prominently, so you may see both names when planning a visit.
The address, weekend hours and admission
The farm’s contact page lists 7222 W. Grand Teton Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89131, at the northwest corner of Tenaya and Grand Teton. This is a neighborhood farm outing, not a Strip attraction.
- The regular public schedule is Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- There is no charge to shop the market.
- Animal-area entry is $10 for guests 13 and older and $5 for guests 12 and younger. Infants are not charged.
- Cash is preferred. Card payments require a $20 minimum purchase and have a $1 processing fee. Market purchases and animal entries can be combined toward that minimum.
Check the current farm announcements before leaving, especially for a holiday or special event. For a specific access question, call 702-982-8000 before making the trip.
For two adults and two school-age children under 13, the posted animal-entry fees add up to $30 before shopping or any extras. Bringing cash gives a smaller group more flexibility than relying on a card purchase minimum.
Choose the market, the animals, or both
A market-only visit makes sense if you want to browse without paying animal admission. The farmers market page lists eggs, local honey, fruit and vegetables, with seasonal produce offered on weekends. Go with a flexible shopping list; a particular item is not a reason to assume the shelves will look the same every week.
Add the animal area if watching farm animals is the part your group is excited about. Leave time to linger at one enclosure instead of treating every stop as a checklist. A child who wants to watch a goat for ten minutes has already found something good to do.
You do not need children along to enjoy a market browse and an unhurried animal visit. This also works as a simple daytime date. For a different market setting, compare the options in our Las Vegas farmers market guide.
Animal visits: watch first and follow staff directions
Barn Buddies is an animal sanctuary. Its rescue work is the reason for the visit, not a promise that every animal will want attention. Let an animal approach its fence on its own and give it room to move away.
Visitors are not allowed inside animal habitats. The farm permits feeding some animals, so ask staff which animals can be fed and what feed to use before offering anything. Keep little hands with you while you listen to the instructions.
Food and drinks other than water are not allowed in the animal areas. Save snacks for a permitted spot outside those areas, and wash your hands after animal contact.
The farm also posts a temperature-dependent closure for its rabbit area. Do not promise children a particular animal encounter or access to every area; confirm the day’s options when you arrive.
A simple plan for a first visit
I would allow about 60 to 90 minutes as a starting point, then stay longer if the group is enjoying it. That is a suggested pace, not a timed admission session.
- Start with a look around the market and decide what you want to take home.
- Ask about the day’s animal access and feeding instructions before buying entry.
- Spend your time at the animals that interest your group, with water breaks as needed.
- Finish your shopping before heading out.
Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes and bring water and sun protection. If a stroller or mobility device is essential, ask the farm about current surfaces and access rather than assuming a smooth route throughout the property.
Keep the farm as the main stop if that is enough for your morning. Our Floyd Lamb Park guide is another northwest outdoor option to consider separately. Feeding permission at a farm does not carry over to park wildlife.
Is this the same as Gilcrease Orchard?
No. These are separate destinations. Choose The Las Vegas Farm for its market and rescued-animal visit. If picking produce is the activity you have in mind, read our Gilcrease Orchard guide and check the orchard’s current harvest schedule. A farm-market visit does not automatically include a you-pick experience.
Questions before you go
Is The Las Vegas Farm free?
The market is free to shop. Animal-area admission is separate, so budget for that if seeing the animals is your main reason to go.
Can you bring a dog?
The farm says pets and emotional support animals are not permitted on the property. Contact the farm directly about service-animal access rather than treating the pet rule as a complete accessibility policy.
Can you go during the week?
The regular public opening is on Saturdays and Sundays. Do not assume a weekday drop-in is available.
Are seasonal attractions included?
Check the current event details before planning around a maze, festival or other seasonal activity. The regular weekend market and animal visit are the better starting point for an ordinary trip.
