Golden Retriever Experience®
$99.95
| /
Golden Dog Farm and Butternut Goldens bring a whole new meaning to “Happy”! Surround yourself with a “happy” of Goldens from Butternut Goldens and Golden Dog Farm. Much like a gaggle of geese or a rhumba of snakes, a “happy” is a group of Golden Retrievers! And for a "Happy Hour" you can enjoy a playdate with at least 10 Golden Retrievers in the bucolic setting of Golden Dog Farm. Play ball, snap photos, and cuddle on your way to having the best afternoon of your life! Refreshments provided.
Pricing: $99.95/person and includes 6% Vermont State Sales Tax ($94.30 + $5.65 = $99.95). PLEASE REGISTER with both your phone number and email. Thanks

Customer Reviews
What an amazing experience. Having the privilege of owning Golden's this truly was heaven on earth. The farm is beautiful and the barn, so cozy and inviting. The Golden’s are gorgeous, beautiful temperaments and thoroughly enjoyed the experience as much as we did. Rebecca is awesome and loves her farm and the Golden’s. She took a lot of beautiful pictures that we were able to view and cherish.
This is literally like i would imagined heaven.
The experience gets a5 star. I went with 1 star for flexibility for cancellation. My colleague has an emergency was not able to attend.. I requested credit to attend again, merchandise credit or a refund.
Hi Tammy.
We limit attendance to ensure that everyone has a great experience. You booked two of those spots, and due to circumstances that have nothing to do with us, were only able to use one. You did not let us know that you would be the only one attending until you showed up at the event.
We are super clear about our policy of no refunds and no rescheduling. Here's what it says on our website - and this information was repeated in your confirmation email.

You're giving us a 1 Star review for following a very clear policy which you agreed to when making the booking.
We do appreciate that you highlight that the experience itself was a 5 Star experience.

I treated my aunt to the Golden Retriever Experience with my aunt, a long-time golden owner. We had the best time and bonded while playing with the adorable, well-behaved dogs! The property is also incredibly beautiful. And although March is not typically known for its good weather, we enjoyed seeing the dogs roll around and play in the left over snow while enjoying temps that were nice enough to take off our jackets. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, particularly families or friend groups!
