We Bring The Farm To You
or You To The Farm!
We value Hands-On Animal Education and positive interactions with animals, both domesticated and exotic!
Cathy's Critters was founded on the idea that our exotic and farm animals might bring joy and education to children and families across the DFW area the same way that they bring joy and education to our own families in our own backyard.
Over the years we have delighted thousands of parents, children, preschools, birthdays, festivals and churches in the area and have been nominated by D Magazine's Reader's Choice survey as one of the best children's entertainers in Dallas.
Thank you to DFW child for naming Cathy’s Critters the Best Entertainer for Kids Parties!
We are open to the public Saturdays & Sundays!!
Weather permitting, see info below

Cathy’s Critters is proud to re-introduce H.A.I.E.A. (Human Animal Interaction & Education Advocates), a non-profit that was established in 2015 by Kevin and Cathy Smith, owners of Cathy’s Critters.
Together Cathy’s Critters and H.A.I.E.A. will be working in partnership to further the education of human/animal interaction.
H.A.I.E.A.’s purpose is to educate and improve the lives of both animals and humans by using positive and healthy interactions.
* PLEASE READ! INCLIMENT WEATHER POLICY *
We will close when it’s rainy or cold so that the animals can be kept indoors. If on either day, the hourly forecast as of 6am calls for temperatures of 35F or below, or a high chance of rain during at least half of our opening hours, we will be closed on that day.
If the temperature is over 100 degrees, we will reduce our Open Farm hours to 9am-12noon.
Please check Facebook for current conditions and modifications to our hours. The animals appreciate your understanding!
