Barn Buddies Rescue

Barn Buddies Rescue is an animal sanctuary at 7222 W Grand Teton Dr in Las Vegas that welcomes kids and teens across the site's listed age brackets of 0-5, 6-12, and 13-18. It operates as a rescue for both farm animals and pets, and it opens its doors specifically on weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, year round.

The sanctuary runs sanctuary tours where visitors can meet the rescued animals, plus school presentations that bring animal education to classrooms, a summer camp, birthday parties, and a volunteer program for kids and families who want ongoing involvement rather than a single visit. The amenities listed include animal interactions, educational programs, rescue animals, farm animals, and the sanctuary setting itself, which points to a hands-on, outdoor experience built around learning responsible animal care rather than a typical petting zoo.

Because the property is closed Monday through Friday, planning a visit means working around that weekend-only window, and a family wanting a birthday party or a school presentation should reach out well ahead of the date they have in mind. No pricing is listed, so tour costs, camp fees, and birthday party packages are best confirmed directly with the organization before booking.

This kind of program works well for kids who enjoy animals and want more than a quick observation, since tours and the volunteer program both lean toward direct interaction and instruction about animal welfare. Families interested in the summer camp specifically should ask about session dates, group size, and what a typical day covers, since none of that detail is listed here.

For tour bookings, camp information, school presentation requests, or volunteering, call (702) 982-8000 or visit barnbuddiesrescue.org. Since the sanctuary is only open two days a week, arriving close to opening at 9:00 AM on a Saturday or Sunday is a reasonable way to have more time before the 4:00 PM close.
