Bluebird Gap Farm

Bluebird Gap Farm is a public city park and petting zoo located in Hampton, Virginia, at 60 Pine Chapel Road.

The Park is designed to resemble a working farm. It features farm animals and fowl of all types, and wild animals native to Virginia. Visitors can buy food to feed the animals.

The 64 acre park includes a playground, picnic areas, a small lake, and the Azalea Trail. The Azalea Trail features rare azaleas. The farm displays modern and antique Farm equipment. The original Hampton train station and an old family cemetery also are located at the farm.

Bluebird Gap Farm is also home to the city's volunteer master gardeners' demonstration garden.
