Kensington Metropark Farm Center

Meet farm animals and get a glimpse of rural life at the Kensington Metropark Farm Center. Take in the sights, smells and sounds of life on the farm and see live farm animals like chickens, goats, sheep, cattle and draft horses. Visit a 150-year old restored barn (winner of the Michigan Barn Preservation Network (MBPN) 2012 Barn of the Year Award), the poultry house, or the barn exhibit room and kids’ area. Take a short walk to the riverside, where you’ll find a one-of-a-kind “green” building (made exclusively of natural materials), a stone labyrinth, a grass maze and an early skills area – including a blacksmith shop and brick oven. An herb garden, field crops and old-fashioned farm equipment are also on display. Special programs on the animals, historic techniques and other farm-related topics are held throughout the year.
