Parking & other info:
Parking is available inside the farm. Please come to the second gate with the big sign that says “Cathy’s Critters Customer Parking”. Inside parking may be limited immediately after or during wet weather.
Restrooms available at the Exotics Room. There are multiple hand washing stations around the farm.
We try to make Cathy’s Critters as accessible as possible, but strollers and wheelchairs may have a challenge navigating some of our flagstone walkways and uneven grounds. Please plan accordingly.
We are located at 7422 Country Road 466, Princeton, TX. Any GPS can find us, and Google Maps even identifies the farm for you.
Bring reusable water bottles for your family - even in cold weather it’s important to drink water! We’ll have bottled water for sale if you forget.
If it has rained within 48 hours of your visit to the farm it will be very muddy. We always suggest either wearing or bringing boots to the farm.
Weather policy - please read!
Open Farm hours are 10am – 4pm Saturdays and Sundays. We will close when it’s a heat advisory, 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 40F or below, or a high chance of rain during at least half of our opening hours, or temperatures over 100F we will be closed on that day or have reduced hours.
Please check Facebook for current conditions and modifications to our hours. The animals appreciate your understanding!
