Consider This Before You Visit: Kangaroo Creek Farm is....a
farm. Farms present many potential hazards such as animals, fur, dirt, uneven ground, and too many others to list comprehensively.
It is not a sterile environment, and animals are not machines. Kangaroo Creek Farm and its operators cannot and will not accept
any liability for loss or injury should you choose to visit. Please leave your dog at home and absolutely no smoking. A carelessly
discarded cigerette butt can make an animal seriously ill or start a fire. Please be considerate, police your own children
and use common sense. Abusive behavior to animals or staff will not be tolerated and we reserve the right to ask anyone to
leave at any time. Thanks.  Please be careful in the driveway. It is steep and it has a blind curve in the top.
Only the handicapped can park on the property. Everyone else is asked to park on Main Street. However, there
is the option of dropping off or picking up your passengers in the turn-around area at the bottom of the drive before parking
on Main Street if that is more convenient. When walking down the driveway, please keep your children close and
watch for traffic. Alternatively, there are several attractive footpaths onto the property if you want to avoid the
driveway altogether. |

How to Find Us
Kangaroo Creek Farm is at the junction of Hill Rd and Main Street, behind
the A&W in Lake Country BC. If you are travelling North on Highway 97 from Kelowna towards Vernon, the simplest
way to get here is to turn right onto Hill Rd. You will see the A&W restaurant on the corner of Hill Rd and Hwy
97. Proceed down Hill until you get to Main Street. Directly on the other side of Main Street is the top of our
driveway. It looks like a pull-out but our driveway does slope steeply off the back of it. You won't be able to
see a house from Main Street. We are well below the level of the road. Use caution on the driveway as you may encounter on-coming traffic and pedestrians.
Currently open to the general public on the weekends
, Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 3pm. We have a special open day on Wednesday, May 8th from 10 am to 3 pm with part of
the proceeds going to Ronald MacDonald House. We will start opening 7 days a week from 10 am to 3 pm starting on Friday May
17th. Once the kids get out of school at the end of June, our hours will change to 9 am to 2 pm. This is to try and protect
the animals from being bothered by people in extreme heat. On-site handicapped
parking only. Everyone else is asked to park on Main Street. You can drop your passengers and then return to park
if that is more convenient.

Admission: We would like to keep things as simple, relaxed and non-commercial
as possible. With this in mind, we would like to try and rely on your donations to cover the cosiderable cost of
being open to the public. There is a donation box attached to the fence near the entry gate that people can
deposit cash or checks into. Every little bit helps. To those people who have already donated, Thank
You! Your donations go toward covering the considerable cost of liability insurance, driveway improvements,
additional fencing, gates, signage, buildings, porta potties and associated supplies, hand-wash stations, etc and so
on. Your donations have nothing to do with the welfare of the animals. You can rest assured that the animals have
always been well cared for and always will be, regardless. Some folks are more comfortable with a suggested donation.
We would like to average about $5 per person over time. But for large groups, or folks that have large families, please
don't feel bad if you have to round things down a bit in order to stay within budget. We don't want to see anyone
excluded for the sake of a few dollars.

There is public seating available for picnics and self-catered birthday parties. There
is no charge to hold a birthday party at Kangaroo Creek Farm but we would appreciate a donation. Please tidy up after
yourself and please don't let your kids pick or trample the flowers. We are currently having a bit of a problem with
parents socializing on the lawn and sending their kids into the animal pens unaccompanied. This is not exceptable.
I shouldn't have to leave my work to search the property for a 2 year olds parents! Birthday parties need to be cleaned
up and gone by closing. There are bathroom facilities in the parking lot behind the house. While the ground is
a bit uneven in places, most of the property is wheelchair accessible. |
