Visit Us
Come walk the property, meet the Residents, and spend some time somewhere that moves a little slower. We're now open all week long.
Two ways to
spend a day here
Whether you'd like a quiet, personal visit during the week or the full come-one-come-all Sunday experience, there's a way to meet the Residents that fits.
Private Visits
A more personal way to experience the sanctuary. Book a time that works for you and spend it with the Residents at your own pace — ideal for families, small groups, and anyone who'd rather visit somewhere quiet.
The Open Barnyard
No sign-up. No appointment. Just show up, dressed for the weather, and spend the afternoon with the Residents. Wander the property, sit with the animals who want company, and take your time — that's the whole point.
A few things
worth knowing
This is a working farm and, more importantly, it's home to more than 85 Residents. A little preparation goes a long way toward making your visit good for everyone — you included.
Dress for the farm
Wear appropriate clothing and boots. Conditions can be muddy, and you'll be on your feet outdoors for most of your visit.
Kids of all ages welcome
Children are genuinely welcome here — this is one of the best places we know to meet a farm animal as an individual for the first time.
Please leave dogs at home
We're unable to allow dogs during tours or events. Many of our feathered Residents free-range across the property, and their safety comes first.
Connection is the point
We actively encourage one-on-one time with the Residents. That intimacy is what makes SoulSpace different — take it slow and let them come to you.
This is their home first.
Everything here is built around the Residents feeling safe. We're just friends along their journey, giving them the time and the space they need. These aren't rules for the sake of rules — they're how we keep this a place the animals actually want to be.
Book a private visit
Private visits run Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM. Pick the day and time that works for you below — and remember, Sundays are always walk-in, no booking required.
Bringing a group?
We host school groups, scout troops, youth programs, church groups, community organizations, and more. Reach out to Kara directly and we'll build a visit around your group.
Events & programs
Sunset Yoga, Summer Nights concerts, classes, group visits, and more. Browse everything happening at the sanctuary and book your spot below.
Corporate events &
team building
Bring your team somewhere that isn't a conference room. A few hours at the sanctuary tends to do what trust falls never could — people slow down, put their phones away, and talk to each other like humans again.
We tailor every group visit to what you're after, whether that's a hands-on volunteer afternoon, a guided experience with the Residents, or simply a quiet reset somewhere green.
Hands-on together
Optional volunteer projects your group can take on side by side — real work, real impact, and a shared story afterward.
Time with the Residents
A guided introduction to the animals and their stories — the part everyone talks about on the drive home.
Support that goes somewhere
Group visits directly fund the daily care of 85+ rescued Residents. Your team outing keeps the lights on here.
Fill this out and we'll be in touch to build something that fits your team.
Inquiry Sent!
Thanks for reaching out. We'll get back to you soon to start planning your group's visit.
Or come roll up your sleeves.
Volunteer work days are every Sunday from noon to 4 PM — the same afternoon the barnyard is open. No RSVP needed. Just show up dressed for the weather and we'll put you to work.
Getting here
We're on a historic farm just outside New Richmond, in western Wisconsin — an easy drive from the Twin Cities.
