Birthday Party Guidelines

Birthday parties at Winding Branch Ranch take place at an active farm animal rescue and agricultural resource center. Guests will be celebrating in a real-world sanctuary environment where animals live, heal, and receive daily care. Because of this, safety, supervision, and cooperation are essential to creating a positive experience for everyone.


By booking a birthday party at Winding Branch Ranch, families acknowledge and agree to the following:


Active Farm Environment

The sanctuary is a working rescue with uneven terrain, animals moving throughout the space, and ongoing care activities. Children must remain with their supervising adults and follow staff instructions at all times while visiting the ranch.


Supervision

Birthday parties are family-hosted events. Parents or guardians are responsible for supervising children throughout the party and helping ensure that guests follow ranch safety guidelines.


Animal Interaction

All interactions with animals are supervised by sanctuary staff and volunteers. The animals who call the sanctuary home come from many different backgrounds and experiences. Even well-mannered animals can react unexpectedly. Guests will be guided on how to interact calmly and respectfully to ensure safety for both people and animals.


Behavior Expectations

Guests are expected to treat animals, staff, and other visitors with kindness and respect. Running, chasing animals, climbing on fences, or entering animal areas without staff guidance is not permitted.

Food, Decorations, and Setup


Families are welcome to bring their own food, cake, beverages, and decorations for the celebration. Decorations must be removed at the end of the party, and items that may pose a risk to animals (such as confetti or loose balloons) should be avoided.


Photography

Photos and videos are welcome during birthday celebrations. From time to time, the ranch may also capture photos of activities for educational or promotional purposes.


Shared Responsibility

Winding Branch Ranch is first and foremost a sanctuary for rescued animals. Staff and families work together to ensure that birthday celebrations remain fun, respectful, and safe for both guests and the animals who call the sanctuary home.


Assumption of Risk

Visitors understand that Winding Branch Ranch is an active farm animal rescue and outdoor environment. While our team works to maintain a safe and welcoming space, farm settings involve inherent risks including uneven ground, weather conditions, insects, and the natural behavior of animals. By attending a birthday party at the ranch, guests acknowledge these conditions and agree to follow all staff guidance and safety instructions while on the property.


By booking a birthday party, families acknowledge these guidelines and help us maintain a safe and positive experience for all visitors.
