SOME OF OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
INFORMATION - Is there a site where we can learn more about the property?
Yes, please visit theoldgamefarm.com
​
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY GARBAGE? - In the back right corner of the main parking lot, there is a gate with two dumpsters. Upon check-out, please drop your garbage off at the dumpsters. There is a regular garbage and recycle dumpster.

THE PROPERTY - Is The Old Game Farm open to the public?
No. At this time, only guests staying at the Inn or at one of our Tentrr sites have access to explore the property.
​
THE PROPERTY - Are there still animals in the zoo?
The Catskill Game Farm closed its doors in 2006. The property is no longer an active zoo but rather is a place where guests can stay at and explore the abandoned areas of what was once America's largest private zoo. We recently added a few cows, goats and chickens but there is no longer an active zoo on the property.
