Art Farm in the City

UES parents can’t get enough of The Art Farm… here is why!

For starters, we are the only indoor petting zoo in all of NYC!

That’s right…

Your kiddo can come to our programs and leave seeing over 80 different animals!

If animals aren’t your child’s thing, they can…
- Cook with Chef Pablo
- Paint and get messy
- Dance and make music with our music teachers
- and so much more!

For over 20 years we have been serving the UES community with one mission…

Connecting city kids with nature.

That’s why if you’ve never been we invite you and your family to join us!

Message us or comment if you would like our address!

See you soon :)

Calling all and parents!

Camp just got even closer with our 4 new locations!

Let your child explore, create, and learn this summer at one of our camp locations

Limited space available as we are getting close to the end of summer. Reserve their spot with the link in our bio :)

See your kiddo there 💚

Meet Chef Pablo, our Executive Chef and the person behind so many of the delicious moments at The Art Farm. 👨‍🍳

From introducing children to new ingredients to making food feel fun, approachable, and hands-on, Chef Pablo helps turn every cooking experience into something kids can feel proud of.

His calm energy, creativity, and love for teaching make him such an important part of our team—and a favorite among our young chefs.

We’re so excited for you to meet him. 💛

Meet Val, the founder of The Art Farm. ❤️

What began as a vision to create a place where children could learn, explore, and feel completely at home has grown into the community families know today.

From animals and art to music, cooking, preschool, and camp, every part of The Art Farm was built around one belief: childhood should be filled with meaningful experiences, caring educators, and plenty of room to be curious.

We’re excited for you to hear more about the heart behind The Art Farm and the woman who started it all.

Come meet our team and discover what makes The Art Farm such a special place for Upper East Side families. 🐓🎨
