Located about 40-45 minutes away from the city, the farm is easy to find (just type in the address on their website). The entry fee is very reasonable at $5 per car, and they also sell some food (i.e. chips, drinks, baked goods, pulled pork sandwiches) as well as sunflowers up front. Food wasn't particularly memorable but not bad, and the sunflowers were quite the deal (only $1 per stem, or 6 for $5). The actual sunflower field was reasonably sized. It was a bit difficult to navigate through the mud, and also a little hard to get good photos unless you go off the trail and into the flower beds (which you're not supposed to do), but the sunflowers were still pretty. Overall very glad I visited. Not sure if I'd necessarily make the trip out again anytime soon, but I definitely recommend it if you have not gone before!

We had such a sweet experience at this farm and I'd absolutely recommend it for families with…read morelittle kids. As a mom, I'm always looking for activities that are engaging, hands-on, and actually worth leaving the house for, and this was one of those places. They offer family-centered activities on Fridays, and this past Friday we did the pig cookie-making class with storytime. It was such a cute idea and very toddler/kid friendly. After the class, they took us to feed the pigs and taught the kids about them, which made it feel both fun and educational. After class, you can choose either a pony ride or a farm animal tour, which I thought was a nice touch. The space has lots of animals and plenty of opportunities for petting and interacting, which my child really enjoyed. And for kids who may not be as interested in the animals, there's also a large play area/park so there's still plenty for them to do. I also really appreciated that there were multiple hand-washing stations throughout the farm, which makes a big difference when you're out with little ones. My main downsides were the bathrooms and food options. I really wish they had traditional bathrooms instead of porta-potties, because that can be especially tricky when you're managing a potty-training toddler. I also wish the concession area had better snack and food options. Overall though, this was a really fun, family-friendly outing and we had a great time.

This spot is kids paradise. I planned most of our day here and my kids still didn't want to leave…read more I typically saw this spot whenever I rode the Strasburg Railroad. We typically would do their Christmas Train, and rarely got back to Lancaster in the warmer months. As soon as I planned my latest summer trip, I knew it had to be on the itinerary. This place has it all from gigantic slides to gold mining sluice areas to a mini kids village that mine couldn't get enough of from the mini vet office to the drive in theater. It was really impressive. From here, you can make your way up the hill where there is a restaurant, a coffee kiosk with a delicious coconut water cold brew (wild!), and plenty of shaded sections with swinging chairs. You'll find paintball, basketball, skee ball, a pedal cart for the family, launching devices. I mean, there is a lot! The place is large so it never felt overly crowded. Come with water bottles. Even with the shaded sections it gets hot. They have water fountains by the bathrooms.

My kids loved everything from the large corn maze to the swings to the games to the playground equipment to the large sandbox filled with corn. My kids were 4 and 6 during our visit, but the farm can easily accommodate older or younger. Two notes; 1. The bathrooms in the back of the farm are new & super clean. 2. Don't feel pressure to purchase the add ones (apple chucking and paintball) - those sections are towards the back of the farm and easily avoidable. There was a variety of food options - a few standard theme park options along with specialty options like homemade ice cream.

The farmers were knowledgeable and friendly teens/young adults. They were very sweet to the children and ensured that all the kids could pet the baby goat born that week. The best part of our visit was being followed around by Dolly, a goat that roamed the premises, scavenging for leftover corn and dropped treats.

I've also seen a few families host birthday parties here!

We arrived as they opened at 10 AM on a Saturday and I was shocked that no one was there yet. Thinking we were beating the crowd soon turned to realizing we were late. Several weeks late. All the people came at Thanksgiving and bought all the trees! So, we could not cut any and we could only buy what they had available, which they had gone to Pennsylvania and purchased then propped them up on their property to sell. And it was perfect! We picked out a nicely girthed tree and got free hot cocoa and a tractor ride for fun. The owners were super nice and the workers were great in bagging up our tree and loading it in the car for us. Super friendly people here. We'll come again next year. But, early! The owner gave us a tip about leaving the tree in the garage with water until we're ready to set it up. Great idea for next year.

I was really surprised that this business wasn't already on Yelp!…read more We drove up on Sunday 11/28, crossing our fingers that it wasn't packed. We were in luck! In all, I think there may have been about 7 other families there while we were. Parking was easy, just a short walk downhill to enjoy the main staging area. They have some fun décor in the "barnyard" area, and we were immediately greeted by someone (I am guessing an owner). With a very friendly demeanor, they outlined the way everything works. We were given a saw and options: ride the tractor-drawn wagon down or walk; cut the tree or choose one that was already cut; drag the tree out to the road for the wagon to bring it up; or take a sled to drag it up ourselves. DGD spotted "my perfect tree!" that of course was at the farthest point from the barnyard. ;) But it was really nice to walk through the different varieties and enjoy the scents and sounds of trees (it was windy). After some initial bickering between DGS & DGD (they are siblings, after all) they took turns sawing at the trunk until TIMBER! down it came. After starting to drag it uphill, they decided a sled was a good idea so the kids went back up and brought one down. Hilarity ensued. The tree kept rolling off the sled, until finally my SIL said he'd just carry it and hoisted it onto his shoulder. Then the kids found it super fun to drag each other on the sled. Then they took turns riding while DD dragged it. I even took a turn dragging DGD (the boy was too heavy for me! He's 12 now!) Anyway, by the time we reached the barnyard, the tree had been shaken and baled, ready to load onto the Nanamobile's roof. The others took a quick peek at the small shop, while I stood by the tree and enjoyed the firepit. Kids were hoping for hot chocolate, but the shop just had Christmas decorations. Their trees are reasonably priced, I believe $55 for anything up to 6' and $10 per foot over that, but don't quote me. SIL paid for it so I wasn't involved, BUT he did say they give a 10% military discount. They take cash & plastic. Everyone was very friendly and I imagine we'll be back next year!
