While we don’t offer traditional birthday parties, Camp Goldie is a popular way to celebrate a birthday.

During checkout, you can add our Golden Birthday Package for $59. At check-in, the birthday guest will receive a Camp Goldie tote bag filled with a golden retriever stuffie, birthday badge, birthday card, and keychain. During the group photo, we’ll also hang a Happy Birthday banner and dress up the dogs in birthday hats and bandanas for the perfect birthday photo.

Please note that all of our experiences are group sessions and will include other guests. If you’d like to celebrate privately, you can purchase all 25 tickets for a session that has not yet had any tickets sold.

There will always be a minimum of 12 golden retrievers per session and you’ll get to interact with each and every one of them!

As much as we love all dogs, only our golden retrievers are allowed at the experience.

However, we are sponsoring a golden retriever festival on Saturday, August 1st in Lakewood, NJ where you can! Visit goldiefestusa.com to learn more and buy tickets.

The sessions vary on the time of year. During the spring, fall, and winter they are 1 hour and 15 minutes. In the summer it is 1 hour and 30 minutes. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early so you don’t miss the grand reveal of the goldens!

The farm is located in Freehold, New Jersey. The exact location will be provided on your booking confirmation email.

Not directly. We’re located on a farm in Freehold, NJ, so public transportation doesn’t go all the way here. If you’re traveling from NYC, here are your options:

• Take NJ Transit Bus Line 139 from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to Freehold Center, then take a short Uber or Lyft to the farm.

• Take a direct Uber or Lyft to the farm.

• Rent a car and drive. Free parking is available on-site.

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

We are a rain-or-shine event. If severe weather forces a cancellation, we will notify you via email and refund your booking.

Yes, Camp Goldie is mostly wheelchair accessible. There is however varied terrain from the parking area to the experience area which is made up of grass and dirt pathways, some of which is uneven. We do offer transportation to and from parking for guests who need extra assistance. Please email us ahead of time to arrange this.

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.
