The Kensington Metropark Farm Center allows visitors to explore animals up close. Immerse yourself in the world through the sights, smells, and sounds of life on the farm. Here, you can meet live farm animals like chickens, goats, sheep, and more. On the grounds within the park, you'll visit the 150-year-old restored barn that includes an educational exhibit and children's play area. The river runs through the farm center area. Along its bank, you'll see the one-of-a-kind ""Green Building"" made completely from recycled and other natural materials. This section of the farm center also has a stone labyrinth, a grass maze, and an early skills area with a blacksmith shop and a brick oven. Wander through the herb garden and field crops and test your knowledge of identifying common household foods. On display are old-fashioned farm equipment and tools you'd find on the farm. Education programs on the animals, historical techniques, and other farm-related topics are offered periodically.
