The Golden Hour Experience

The Viral Experience Everyone’s Barking About

Come Hang out with the happiest dogs on earth at our picturesque farm in central New Jersey. Spend up to two unforgettable hours playing, petting, and posing with an entire pack of fluffy golden retrievers. It’s the ultimate experience for dog lovers of all ages.

A Picture-Pawfect
Summer Day

Your session kicks off with a Golden Greeting where the dogs come bounding out of the Besties Barn. It’s a tail-wagging grand entrance you won’t forget! From there it’s off to the Zoomie Zone for a game of fetch followed by water play at the splash station or Lake Wagmore. Next, things slow down with drying, petting, cuddles, and brushing. Then it’s last licks and a quick stop at the gift shop before heading home with your Camp Goldie “doggie” bag.

Activities may vary slightly by season, but will always include plenty of tail-wagging fun!

You Bring the Love,

  • Dress comfortably and prepared to get covered in fur! Closed-toe shoes are recommended for grassy or uneven areas.

  • Absolutely! Kids are welcome, but children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

  • Age 4 and up require a ticket. 3 and under are free.

  • The experience is held on a farm with gravel paths, grass areas, and a barn with a concrete floor. While the barn is accessible, some outdoor areas may be difficult to navigate with a wheelchair or mobility device.

  • Before playing with the pups, all guests must step through a shoe disinfectant station and sanitize their hands. This simple step helps protect the health of the dogs at Camp Goldie, and the future puppies being raised by our breeder Ruff Life Goldens.
