Llamas, pizza, and real farm time. At Dancing Goat Therapy Farm in Burtts Corner, New Brunswick, I love the chance to meet barnyard animals up close, and I love the slow-paced llama-and-goat walk that turns the pace down fast. You also end with a 10-inch wood-fired pizza made with farm-fresh ingredients.

The only real catch is that this experience runs about two hours and it depends on good weather, so you need to be ready for an outdoors-first schedule.

Key Highlights to Look For

• Barnyard meet-and-greet: chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and many more birds, with time to feed them and maybe gather fresh eggs
• Gentle llama vibes for easy smiles: selfies are part of the fun, and the llamas are described as calm and well-mannered
• A countryside walk that fits most people: pastures, a woodlot, and a river, paced for all ages and abilities
• Petting zoo time built in: get up close with barnyard animals before you move on to the llamas and goats
• 10-inch wood-fired pizza lunch: cheese, Hawaiian, or meat varieties using farm-fresh ingredients
• Possibility of hands-on pizza watching or tossing: if you’re lucky, you may join the pizza-making moment

Dancing Goat Therapy Farm: What Makes This Feel Like a Farm Day

This is not a big sightseeing tour. It is a farm-centered outing where the day’s rhythm is set by the animals. You start in a barnyard setting, then you shift into a calm, guided walk with llamas (and goats), and you finish by eating pizza outdoors with the farm atmosphere all around you.

I like that it feels structured without feeling rigid. You have clear moments on the agenda, but the experience stays relaxed, family-friendly, and very hands-on. If you’re an animal person, you’ll naturally lean in during each part, from feeding barnyard birds to hanging out with llamas that are known for gentle behavior.

The farm name includes therapy, and the way this is described makes sense for what you’re actually doing. The walk is designed to slow you down, and the llamas are said to have a calming effect and a talent for connecting with humans. Whether you call it therapy or just good animal energy, you’ll likely leave with a quieter head than when you arrived.

Price, Duration, and Booking Smartness for New Brunswick Farm Fun

At $56.20 per person for about 2 hours, this is priced like a small, guided farm experience rather than a casual roadside stop. What makes it feel fair is that the ticket bundles the key ingredients: animal time, a guided slow walk, and lunch (a 10-inch wood-fired pizza). You are also getting a private setup, meaning it is only your group.

If you’re weighing value, treat it like this: you are paying for access and hosting, not just for the meal. A wood-fired pizza alone would cost you something comparable in many places, and the animal interaction is the bigger part of the offer. The pizza is a bonus that keeps the day from turning into a snack-only experience.

Booking-wise, it is commonly reserved about 17 days in advance on average. That does not mean it sells out instantly, but it does mean your best chance at your preferred date and time comes from reserving early, especially in peak travel weeks.

This activity runs in a defined window, Monday through Saturday, 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM (during the listed operating period). Plan to arrive with enough daylight for an outdoor walk and lunch.

Your Barnyard Welcome: Feeding Birds and Meeting the Farm First

Everything starts at 1072 Tripp Settlement Rd, Burtts Corner, NB E6L 1X8. The first stretch of your time is spent right in the barnyard, where the atmosphere is all about getting comfortable around animals before you meet the llamas.

Here’s what you should expect in the farmyard portion:

• You will be welcomed by chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and many more birds.
• You can hang out with them, and you will have a chance to feed them.
• Depending on what’s happening that day, you may even be able to gather fresh eggs.

This is genuinely one of the strongest parts for first-timers. Birds are interactive in a different way than larger animals. They are curious, they move around you, and you get that quick, satisfying moment of connection without needing to be an expert handler.

A small practical note: feeding animals is fun, but it also means you should pay attention to how the host directs you. Go slow, follow instructions, and keep your hands steady. That helps everyone, including the animals, have a calm experience.

Also, this is set up like a petting zoo style moment. If you like hands-on time, this early section scratches that itch immediately, before the day becomes a longer walk and lunch.

The Llama and Goat Walk: How a Slow Countryside Stroll Changes the Mood

After the barnyard hangout, you meet the llamas and goats. Then the day’s pace shifts down on purpose. You go on a beautiful slow-paced walk through the countryside, moving through their pastures, woodlot, and a river area.

The key detail here is that the walk is described as suited for all ages and ability. That matters. You are not going on a hike that assumes athletic fitness or long endurance. Instead, you’re walking at an animal-friendly, calm pace where the point is presence, not speed.

And yes, you’ll want your phone ready. The highlights call out that it’s a great chance for selfies with the llamas. But the better reason to take photos is not just the image, it is remembering the moment: the steady rhythm of the animals walking with you and the countryside setting framing the experience.

Keep an eye out for local wildlife while you walk. The guide can’t promise sightings, but this is the kind of rural outing where you might notice birds or other small movement along the route. Even when wildlife stays quiet, you’ll still be rewarded with the feeling of being out in the country with living creatures nearby.

The llamas themselves are described as gentle giants with a unique ability to calm minds and soothe the soul and connect with humans. I’d take that as a hint to expect relaxed interaction. The day is built for comfort, and the llamas’ table manners later in the experience reinforces that idea.

Pizza Lunch in the Llamas’ Outdoor Dining Setup

Once your walk is done, you join the llamas for lunch in their pasture area. The dining room is described as being set with outdoor backdrops of the farm, so you’re not eating in a sterile, indoor box. You get a farm-view meal, which is part of the charm.

Each guest is served a 10-inch wood-fired pizza made with farm-fresh ingredients. The menu list includes cheese pizza, Hawaiian pizza, and meat pizza. That gives you some variety, but it also means the options are built around those styles rather than a long restaurant menu.

If you’re curious about the process, there’s a fun extra possibility. The experience notes that if you’re lucky, you may get to be part of the pizza-making experience, like tossing the pizza in the open air or watching it cook in the wood-fired oven. Even if you do not get hands-on, you’ll still get the vibe of a working farm kitchen.

One more small but meaningful detail: the llamas are described as gentle with great table manners, so you’re not just eating near animals, you’re eating in a setting designed so the animals behave well around people at the table.

If you’re picky about timing, this is flexible in spirit. The offer says the pizza picnic is curated to your needs, including breakfast, lunch, or dinner depending on when you book and message the farm.

What to Know About the Flow (So You Can Enjoy It More)

This is a short, two-hour experience, and that affects how you should approach it. Don’t treat it like a full-day farm visit. Treat it like a focused, high-value sampler: barnyard first, then the walk, then the meal.

Here’s how to get the best experience from that flow:

• Arrive ready to start right away, because the animal portions are time-based.
• During the barnyard section, watch the pace and follow the host’s lead with feeding.
• During the llama walk, slow down yourself. If you keep rushing ahead, you will miss the point of the guided calm.
• During lunch, enjoy being present rather than trying to schedule extra activities right after.

Because the experience ends back at the meeting point, you do not have to worry about transportation changes or complicated drop-offs. It is a loop that keeps the day simple.

Also, this is a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. If you’ve ever done a larger attraction with too many strangers, you’ll likely appreciate this. It tends to make animal encounters feel less chaotic and more personal.

Wildlife, Selfies, and Being a Good Neighbor to Animals

One of the reasons this tour scores so high for many people is that it combines three things: hands-on farm time, friendly animal interaction, and a calm, photo-friendly walk.

You should expect plenty of opportunities to take photos, especially with the llamas. But your best shots often come when you relax and let the animals do their thing. Llamas are not lawn ornaments. They’ll be curious, they’ll shift, and they’ll respond to calm attention.

Since you’re feeding birds in the first part, keep these basic rules in mind:

• Follow the host’s direction on when and how to feed.
• Keep movement slow around animals.
• Do not force contact. If an animal leans away, give it space.

If you want to spot wildlife, the best strategy is to stay quiet during portions of the walk. You can still take a photo, just don’t treat every moment like a performance.

A fun thing about this kind of farm day is that it resets your attention. City life makes you scroll and rush. Here, you look at what is in front of you, because that is where the action is.

Who This Fits Best in New Brunswick (And Who Might Prefer Something Else)

This is ideal for:

• Nature lovers who enjoy animals and rural settings.
• Families who want a gentle outing rather than a demanding hike.
• People who like activities with a built-in meal, so the day stays easy.
• First-timers who want to learn a bit about farm life while doing something fun and hands-on.

It is also a good choice if you want a social, memorable outing that still feels calm. The walk is described as suited for all ages and ability, and that usually means the experience is designed for comfort rather than athletic challenge.

If you are expecting a strenuous hike, long distance, or lots of hiking miles, you might feel underwhelmed. This is a slow-paced countryside walk, and the total time is about two hours. Think farm time plus lunch, not a mountain adventure.

If food restrictions are a concern, you should check what pizza styles are available when you book. The menu listed includes cheese, Hawaiian, and meat, but the data does not mention alternatives beyond that selection.

The Practical Stuff: Getting There, Getting Tickets, and Staying Flexible

Start and end at the same place: 1072 Tripp Settlement Rd in Burtts Corner. The experience is mobile-ticket based and offered in English, so you can manage it easily on your phone.

Opening hours are listed for Monday through Saturday, 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM. That range helps you plan what else you might do before or after, even though the activity itself runs about two hours.

Weather matters. This experience requires good weather, and if it is canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. Because you’re doing an outdoor walk and outdoor dining, this is not the kind of activity to book as your only plan on a miserable weather day.

Service animals are allowed, and the experience is private for your group. If you’re bringing a service animal, it helps to keep that in mind while planning attire and timing so everyone is comfortable.

Cancellation is described as free up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. If you’re booking close to your trip dates, that buffer can be comforting, especially in shoulder season when weather can change.

Should You Book This Hike and Lunch with Llamas?

I think you should book if you want a calm, animal-first New Brunswick experience that blends a slow countryside walk with a real sit-down meal. It is especially appealing if you like farms, petting-zoo style interactions, and the kind of guided fun where people focus on being present instead of speeding through.

I’d skip it if you need a long, intense hike or if you strongly prefer indoor attractions. The outdoors element and the short two-hour length are built into the format.

If your ideal travel day includes friendly farm hosting, up-close animal time, and the payoff of wood-fired pizza, this is an easy “yes” worth adding to your itinerary around Burtts Corner.
