Seriously overpriced. We just wanted to pick our own pumpkins but we had to pay the entire entry price (15$) plus the cost of pumpkins. We just purchased ones from the front. And the selection is very disappointing. We should have just gone to a grocery store. . read more

Very underwhelmed. Overpriced already, then you have to pay for every little thing. No water fountains. Very gruff lady in charge came out to holler at the long line of people waiting at admissions to bark the rules at us. Really unpleasant experience. Also what is up with this cow? read more

Amazing Farm Fun - Weird inappropriate cow thing at Ticonderoga farms - Farmers Market Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

This farm was not what I expected at all (in a bad way). Entrance fee was pretty expensive considering it was on a weekday. It included a mini pumpkin which was pretty useless unless you were going to make it into a pie. We walked around and were basically in and out of the place within 30 minutes. We were going to spend some time taking photos with my little niece but she was completely disinterested in this place. read more

A few fun things to do but WAY over priced. It shouldn't cost $100 for a family of 3 to get in to a play farm.

Wow! After scrolling thru all the bad reviews written based around getting Xmas trees or figs from here I thought I'd give my two cents. We attended a birthday party here on a Sunday. Checked in at front counter and got wristbands no prob, nice barn set up as party area, dropped off present, then played until pizza time. Lots of ground to walk w/ little play zones scattered throughout, see saws, little buildings to explore, bridge over duck pond, slides, bouncing pillows, animal area w/ goats, sheep, chickens. Went on fun tractor ride, which the highlight of was the tractor going through a pond! Then had pizza & cake & went home. Good time was had, my 4&7 yr olds were well occupied. The bathrooms were "trailer bathrooms", but perfectly clean. Also saw a track w/ pedal cars which I think is extra $. Tips: wear sunblock, bring lots of water, wear comfy sturdy footwear. This place is rugged, not a bad thing, but if you don't like dirt or not being on something paved you might be sad that you left your house. Also, it's in the country on a dirt road, which means it might have little bumps & your vehicle might get dusty, if this is something you can't handle then don't bother. Tons of parking. Since this was a party we didn't have to pay, so I can't say whether it's a good value, but I kind of liked it better than overhyped overcrowded cox myself. read more

Amazing Farm Fun - Farmers Market Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Kids had lots of fun, especially on the hillside slides

I bundled up my 1 year-old to go visit the farm animals on a Wednesday afternoon, which according to their website is during their Mon-Fri. 9-5 business hours, and during the winter festival. Even 2 miles out they had posted signs decreeing this. Festival!! 9-5!! Yeah!! Not so much. The place was closed. I drove around forever because I figured I was lost, since all the signs had stated that they were open. After finding an employee I was told that they just don't really change their signs. Or their website. Or their decorations. Oh, so that's why there are 6 foot cut-out bunnies next to Christmas trees! Duh, Easter. Perhaps this was for the best, the place looked really dumpy. read more

Ticonderoga Farms is a decent idea poorly executed. There are some fun slides and play structures, but it's overpriced for what it is ($15 for everyone over two), it's not in great shape, and there's nothing resembling a pumpkin patch or pick-your-own orchard. Admission includes one apple and one pumpkin from a little structure on the way out, but the free apples and pumpkins are located immediately next to ones you have to pay for, with no labeling to indicate the difference. As a result, our three-year-old daughter carefully chose a pumpkin only to be called back as we were leaving and told she wasn't allowed to have it. After paying $15 to get in and due to the lack of labeling you'd think they could've just comped the pumpkin, but instead they made us pay $1.06 for it. (The kids were tired and it wasn't worth dealing with telling my daughter she couldn't have her special pumpkin -- $1.06 obviously isn't much money, but it was still an unpleasant way to end the visit.) All in, not a great experience. Cox Farms is no farther way, has signifcantly better ammenities and, if I recall from last year, is roughly the same price and a better experience. read more

This was a great time, especially if you have kids. They have set up their farm that allows a lot of great activites and your far away from the business of DC to escape it all. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The kids loved slide on the hill and the opportunities to feed the goats. I'm sure the farm is nice all year long but must be at its best during the Fall Festival. read more

Very disappointed. Our tradition for many years has been to cut down our tree at Ticonderoga. This year (2018) they have an area for cut your own, but the trees were terrible - lots of brown needles or horrible looking. Not only this, but they did nothing to clear paths thru the trees so you have to wade thru a lot of bracken and thorns to see the trees. We waded thru everything and still couldn't find a single decent tree. We ended buying a pre-cut one (which surely came from somewhere else) b/cthe kids would have been disappointed if we didn't bring a tree home with us. We would have done just as well to buy a tree at Home Depot or a local tree lot. We weren't the only ones with issues as we didn't see a single tree stump where someone had cut their own. Needless to say we will not be returning to Ticonderoga next year. read more

We find our Frazier fur tree within 15 minutes of walking in every year for the last 15 years. Now I dont agree with the pricing of walking into the actual park to let the kids slide etc. Very expensive and would warrant 5 stars had this been fixed. It does need to be fixed, a little ridiculous. read more

Just went here for the Fall Festival with my husband and 17 month old. We loved it. Yes, we paid $15 for both adults, but this seems about on par with farm entrance fees around here. We really appreciated that this farm had enough families to be fun, but wasn't overcrowded by any means. That gave us space to let our toddler run around and almost no wait for the cow ride and hay ride. We also tackled the moon bounce, slides, maze, bamboo zylophones, pumpkin picking, pirate ship, goat pens and swinging bridge. The had a picnic on the shaded grounds where tables are provided. Also had two tall cups of tasty cider at $2.50-not bad pricing for around here IMHO. Honestly, we liked the family-run feel of it-it was very quaint, yet seemed well-managed and safe. Lovely grounds and lots of attractions to keep us busy for a few hours. I agree that it seems geared toward the younger kids. I would think kids over 8 would tire of it more quickly, but is is really nice for the young ones and a nice place to let them run free and not worry that they'll be bumped or bossed around by older kids. Also, we passed the enormous line for Cox Farms on the way home. I'm sure it has many charms, but we enjoyed the charms of Ticonderoga and didn't wait in any lines. read more

We visited this place since we learned " Cox Farm" was closed today. Since we were already in the area I looked online and find this place. Once we entered I realize there's no staff inside the farm. No one was on duty any where around the farm! For that reason, I didn't find it safe for my 22 months old son play in there. I went to the store to ask about hey ride , and buy some food. They only had chips, Oreos, popcorn, and such stuff. Then the cashier kept telling me the admission is $10.99. Per her, hey rides were every hour and we had to wait 20 minutes for the next one. I told her I have to check on my mother and my son to see if he's still hungry and irritated. Once I got out of the store a lady ran after me accusing me of stealing a pumpkin!!! I got furious, and showed her inside my diaper bag and the stroller only to prove her wrong. Rude and disrespectful staff! They charge you $10.99 ( on weekdays) only to walk there because as I said they don't have even one staff attending the slides. I asked for the manager only to find out the woman behind the cashier is the manager. Yes, the one who claimed she saw me stealing a pumpkin was the manager!! I felt harassed and was mad at myself for even trying to go there. These people have no dignity. I'm just happy my son wasn't a little older to feel embarrassed and get hurt! This place doesn't even deserve a star. For God sake, who would drive all the way to steal a pumpkin? Apparently they don't even have brains neither social skills! read more

I used to be a huge Ticonderoga fan. It's definitely a fun place to go, and I have taken a field trip there with my (low income) preschool students every year for several years. Unfortunately, Ticonderoga has raised the price to $10.95 per person from $9.95. $10 per person is the maximum amount per person that our program can afford for field trips. Ticonderoga gave no consideration to allowing a discounted price of $10 so that the many classes in our program could continue visiting and enjoying their farm and activities. How disappointing for this year's children and the children who will come into our program in the future. read more

Ticonderoga Farms is one of Northern Virginia's best kept family fun destination secrets! My family and I drive down Braddock Road in Chantilly every day and see the signs to Ticonderoga. Each Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter they have activities going on at the farm! Our favorite family time to visit is when the Eater Bunny comes in April. But there is a lot more than that at Ticonderoga. As a health-conscious adult I like the Farm Market where I can get local honey and eggs from the free range chickens that run around the property. The added bonus for me is what a great company to work with Ticonderoga Farms is! I have a film company in Virginia and was looking for a farm location for a film shoot. Ticonderoga opened their doors to me and my cast and crew to make it possible to complete my film. The owners and staff were so accomodating that the shoot went off without a hitch! A huge thank you to all of them! I highly encourage your family to visit Ticonderoga Farms this year! read more

It's a nice farm with many activities. Kind of little bit expensive for families. They have a good honey and many other organic products.

Ticonderoga Farms is a caring, community friendly, establishment that didn't hesitate when asked if we could shoot scenes for our film on their property. Their only question was "what else do you need?" During the evening of our shoot, they assigned a host to see to our needs. We were there late into the evening, on a very cold night, and our host, Robert, was a superstar! He kept a large bonfire burning while seeing to our every need. Because of their help and generosity, we were able to get the shots we needed to complete our project. Oh, did I mention that it was all donated - Ticonderoga Farms didn't charge us a cent. In addition to their community friendly proclivity Ticonderoga Farms is a wonderful place to visit for their seasonal festivals and a fantastic place to shop for fresh seasonal items! They produce Award Winning, local, organic honey from their own hives, in addition to jams, jellies, seasonal "pick your own" vegetables and organic, antibiotic-free eggs from free range hens. Their friendly staff is always smiling and very helpful. We highly recommend you visit Ticonderoga Farms, you'll be glad you did!! read more

We took our grandsons there this weekend and were infested with ticks, I think we picked them up in the bamboo maze. We were only there a half hour and had to leave. We had ticks all over us. Our grandsons, 7 and 4, had so many ticks on them that it was disgusting!! I have never been anywhere with such a mass area of ticks, and we paid a nice admission price. I felt so bad for my grandsons, they were very upset seeing all those ticks on them, what we thought would be a fun day turned out to be a disaster!! Be guaranteed that we will NEVER go back there. Be aware if you go to wear some type of tick repellant or better yet find a place that treats there areas for ticks!!! read more

Very disorganized. Very little signage of where events are held. Overpriced considering adults have to pay for entry, and there is nothing for adult activity, and most kids activities have additional costs associated. Dangerously held egg hunt. No starting line on egg hunts. Kids ran for it, people already in it before it began. Just a teen assigned to lead and control the kids from the front group, as they ran over other kids. Not enough eggs. Seemed to be about 2 kids per egg. Staff with no idea where to be. Store staffed by only 1-employee with a line out the door. Staff led a large group of kids blindly past a hot smoker within touching distance. No staff monitoring many of the activities like the bounce pillows. People were saying the front wrist band sellers were telling people the egghunt would be going on later, even after the afternoon hunt was over, to sell more tickets. 30+ minute wait for snack and ticket line read more

Like everyone else here I agree that this place is Wayyyyy over priced! After I paid I was feeling annoyed! Also- anything extra such as a pony ride/food are an extra $5. Go to Cox Farm. Much better! This place is a huge rip off and we won't be back! read more

Spent a Friday afternoon with the family here. Was a beautiful fall day, enjoyed the slides, feeding the chickens and hay ride. Lots of fun play areas, and the place was well kept. Also, a fire pit to roast marshmellows. The pumpkin patch wasn't very big, and not a main attraction, but we liked the free pumpkins that came with the admission. Plus, since we came in the afternoon, we only paid $5 per person. The folks that worked there were very friendly and nice. A great place to go and not far from the city, very convenient. Highly recommended. Also, try some figs! read more

Horrible trees that have not been looked after. Worst Christmas tree farm that I have ever been to. I wouldn't even give it a 1 star.

Definitely overpriced. For my husband and I to take our son, who just turned 2, was $45. Then when we went to feed the billy goats (we just pick some grass and weeds next to the fenced in area holding the goats), we were approached by the very overbearing attendant selling bamboo leaves for $1 a bunch who said we needed to stop feeding the goats the grass/weeds because they needed to monitor what the goats ate. From what I know about billy goats, they will eat everything and the kitchen sink and be fine. The attendant then followed us around and wouldn't leave us alone, clearly making sure we didn't get any enjoyment from feeding the billy goats anything besides the bamboo leaves we would have to purchase from him. Very annoying. read more

The entrance fee is just shy of $15 for everyone over two. So for my husband, myself and our 28 month old daughter it was $44.85 just to get in. For this fee you get a hay ride and a miniature pumpkin. Everything inside the gates has it's own associated charge. We left wondering what we got for the entrance fee. If you visit Ticonderoga farms bring your checkbook and leave your sense of value at home. read more

Fun farm! Do. Not. Go. Into. The. Mazes. I checked out the bamboo maze before leading 20 kids into it, and good thing I did because there was poison ivy on the ground, and 12 ticks ran up my leg and into my shoe after 6 seconds in there. One of the employees said that the mazes have ticks in passing, but there was no sign! Other than that, the farm is very clean and fun and family friendly! It has a lot of fun stuff for kids. Just DONT GO INTO THE MAZES AND TALL GRASS! read more

Don't come here if you want to cut your own tree. There aren't any nice ones to cut so we ended up buying a pre-cut one which is probably what they want you to do anyway. In addition, there's an additional charge for them to load and tie down the tree onto your vehicle. We will be going to a different farm next year. read more

Overall, lackluster. The rides and events were blah. For example, the bamboo maze was just a short hall of bamboo. There were too few staff and no one to really monitor the activities. The bounce pillow is a great example. Lots of adult men bouncing and kids could get hurt. The most significant issue is the lack of food options. Long 30 to 45 minute lines to purchase food. Would not go back. read more

My 3 year old loves this place. It was the perfect location for her class field trip. They have slides, and a bamboo maze. The hayride was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed it a lot. read more

Tons of fun for the kids! Plenty of activities and very friendly and helpful staff. Will add this to our patch list for an annual visit in the fall! Can't wait to see what else they have to offer year round :) read more

We went to Ticonderoga a week after going to Cox Farms with my 1 year old and had a much better time. Tickets are a bit pricey, but not unreasonable compared to similar places in the area. There aren't quite as many slides or other attractions but the smaller crowds, friendlier staff, and nicer grounds made it a more pleasant experience. In particular, it was nice that a lot of the area is wooded and they let chickens roam freely. There were no lines for the slides and they give you blankets to sit on so you can go faster. I can see why older kids might prefer Cox farms, but for the little ones and for the adults, this was a much more enjoyable experience. We also loved taking a break to make smores over one of the firepits (they sell packets with graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows). We plan on going back in December to get a Christmas Tree, and will probably go back next fall instead of going to Cox Farms again. On another note, I asked one of the staff about the giant earth mound across the street. They said the family owns it ans is prepping it for weddings and other events next year. read more

This place was so awesome! Not sure how it has stayed a secret for so long! Reading the other reviews may make you stay away, but I find them all to be false. We went on a weekday, and it's only $10 then. My 20 month old was free. He had a BLAST, so did my niece the same age. It wasn't over crowded so we were able to let them run around more freely to explore. There was plenty of toddler fun things to climb on, a pirate ship, castle and see saws among others. The slides were so fun, for the kids and adults alike. There was no line so we got to enjoy as much as we wanted. And there's way more slides than Cox Farms. The bounce pillows are like a moon bounce without walls, and so fun! There's goats to feed and a rope bridge across water that my son loved running across. The hayride was good - bales of hay to sit on not just a mess of loose hay. Then you get off to pick your own pumpkin! Their pie pumpkins you get free with admission are way bigger than other farms. You can bring your own food and there's tons of picnic tables. Or you can order takeout- we all shared Chinese food that was delivered to the farm. They have pedal karts that were also a lot of fun, and were free. The cow train didn't run on weekdays, but we didn't pay for anything but our lunch once we got in, and $10 is more than reasonable. They also have a nice setup of hay bales and pumpkins with fall decor that was great for taking pictures. And old cement tubes that are painted fun colors that the kids loved running through. With little ones that you're scared to let out of the stroller at Cox Farms, we found this to be way more laid back and fun for everyone. Will definitely be coming here every year now, we went twice this season already! read more

My family just love to visit Ticonderoga Fairplay Farm. There's fun for everyone. This place has it all: rIdes, games, food, even a petting zoo and the Virginia's longest swinging bridge. I brought my daughter here and there were lots of rides and things to do with her. Literally a place for all ages. it is easy to spend the whole day there. Great place to visit at any season!!! read more

I took my kids to the Farm over the weekend and I must say they had an awesome time. I have 4 children between the ages 7 and 13 and sometimes it's hard to take them all to the same place and them ALL be satisfied.. This was our 1st visit to Ticonderoga Farm and we had a great time. They had alot of different activities to do unlike Cox Farms where it looks like a huge pumpkin patch but is a bunch of different slides. The pony rides are not included in admission but I have never been anywhere where a pony ride is !! I love how the park is so shaded and have so many different sitting areas for a rest. The fire pits for s'mores is so cool. The kids loved the huge jumping pillow and racing each other on the Tractor pedaling trikes. Would deff take the kids back there without a doubt. read more

We visited Ticonederoga today and it was SO MUCH FUN! I have a 21 month old daughter and a 3 year old son. It was a blast for both of them. We will definitely go back and enjoy this wonderful place. The apple cider is delicious and everyone was super friendly. We went on a Monday so the place was not crazy busy, which we loved. We got in for a little over $20 and stayed for hours of outdoor fun. Totally worth the trip! read more

I agree with people about the food and not much of a market. However, the fall festival was absolutely perfect for our toddler. He enjoyed every single thing there was to offer at Ticonderoga from the hay ride to the pirate ship playground. As for us, we appreciated that the crowds were elsewhere. That alone was worth the price of admission. read more

We went out this weekend for Father's day and had a great time. My kids loved it as always. This farm is so relaxing and you don't have to worry about anything. I definitely recommend going here any time of the year! read more

The website makes this place look wonderful. We drove an hour to visit on Easter Sunday afternoon and so the kids could participate in the egg hunt, paid $45 for a family of 4. The kids were really looking forward to all the baby animals the website talks about. There were none. Their total sum of animals were 5 dilapidated goats, 2 sheep, and maybe 10 chickens and a peacock in the same cage. Then we went on the hayride and got to see the "ruins". The ruins I suppose must have been the bathtub and old sewing machine and other garbage elegantly arranged into scenic vistas along the path, along with some weird purple furry gorilla stuck on a rock. Oh, and then a couple more goats they had trapped into the caged off pumpkin pens to eat all the rotting pumpkins. It was disgusting. If it hadn't been that my kids were looking forward to the (also ridiculous) egg hunt I would have turned around and demanded my money back. I wasn't surprised a bit when they gathered everyone around for the egg hunt and the woman asked how many were first timers. EVERY one was. That's because nobody is dumb enough to go back to this place a second time. read more

i am in full agreement with dml k! great for the little one(s). the slides were a laugh, which were more abundant and thrilling than cox farms' and the vacancy compared to cox farms is night and day. although i do like cox farms for certain things, this place is not exactly an overpriced hole like other reviewers have stated. read more

If I could give this place half a star I would. I wanted to take my 6 month old granddaughter to see a real pumpkin patch and hopefully get some nice pictures of her with large pumpkins. I would have been better off taking her to the grocery store. As soon as we walked in the door the female employee asked how many people and immediately rang up our total on the cash register. She didn't bother to inform us that there really wasn't anything there for an infant. After walking around for about 10 minutes and not even seeing a pumpkin patch I returned to the shop/entrance and asked if there was a patch because we were there for that reason. She told us there was one and where it was. She also said if we wanted to wait, there was a hayride that runs every hour on the hour that could take us there. Being that we had a baby (not safe), and the fact that it was a few minutes after the hour (we weren't going to wait 50 minutes for a ride), we decided to walk. The walk to the patch and back took us maybe 10-15 minutes tops. The pumpkin "patch" was a very small field with only small pumpkins in it with hay bails stacked in the middle with a tunnel. Extremely disappointing!! I sure wished we had looked this up before going. Definitely not worth it! read more
