Our son loved it here, the animals were a big hit & the splash pad was great. I liked that they had shade over a lot of the playground areas as well. I would've given 5 stars but the price is a little steep for what it is, in my opinion. read more

As a mom of a teenager with special needs, I am not happy with how they mishandled situations which could have been easily remedied. We will not be returning. read more

awesome place! great to see businesses keeping their guests safe and crowd sizes down with the current state of things (fyi you need to book a time on their website) read more

Today I took my 15 year old daughter to this zoo. She has autism but loves to see and play with animals. When she was younger we took her her constantly and she loved it. We drove an hour only to be told she can't be let in because of her age. We looked over the website and it says nothing about age limits for entry. I am embarrassed and angry and most definitely will not be returning. read more

My kids, ages 5-11, really loved petting the baby animals. They were able to hold guinea pigs, rabbits, kittens and goats. The staff who worked with the animals were attentive and pleasant. I am rating this 3 stars because the admittance is overpriced and the food is poor. Many of the staff preparing food, had their hair free flowing. Nets, hats, or hair pulled back is a must. Please make that easy change. Also, two of the food preparers wiped the sweat from their foreheads and continued to prepare food. A reteaching of food prep cleanliness is in order. Bring your own food and snacks--it is allowed. With the changes made to the food prep, this place would be an easy 4 stars. read more

Fantastic place for the children and parents too!! A lot of fun!! Very different type of activity animal petting, pony ride, water park, playground for any age. read more

First time here this place is EPIC. Perfect for 3-5 year olds. Fun hayride, splash pad is awesome, good food, nice staff, playgrounds and more. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is a very fun place. However, the cost of admittance is too high. There needs to be an admittance option for folks who just want to enjoy the scenic beauty, buy some food, have a craft beer -- all without doing the corn maze or the more "pricey" attractions. read more

Great experience for the attractions . The food on the maze side is the biggest ripoff. 11 dollars for a hotdog and a bag of lays chips.

The main reason for the two stars is that this place is simply not worth your money. After having been to Southwick Zoo, this "farm" seems like a toy. It is more expensive than Southwick if you want the full experience, yet literally one tenth the size. Everything you can see/pet/ride at Davis, you can at Southwick, AND see exotic nonfarm animals as well. This farm seems poorly kept too and we were bored within an hour. If this were the only animal-place around, we might settle for it again, but there are other options nearby that make the decision a no-brainer. read more

Took our twin granddaughters to Davis Farmland this past weekend. What a fantastic place! We first went to the corn maze, as we bought the dual pass for the maze and farmland. Either place would be enough for one day, as there is plenty to do at the maze, more than we expected. The entrance to the maze has blow-up jumping attractions, a zip line and hay pyramid (which was really, really cool). The kids loved all the attractions, and would have spent more time had we not wanted to get to the maze and then the animal farm. The maze itself was interesting. They have areas where the kids can shoot slingshots, or toss hula-hoops, and other activities to do. They were playing music so the kids were dancing their way through the maze. And what a maze it is! Huge!! We did eventually have to get some help (there are "maze helpers" along the way, that helped us get out. The two 6 yr olds (and adults) were fairly tired by the time they got out! We then went over to the farmland, which we had visited 2 years ago. The kids loved the pony rides, and the play area. Also, there are not many places where you can pet as many animals as they have at the farmland. The kids loved feeding the baby goats and cows, and had a great time petting the rabbits and kittens. The staff there is excellent! They are everywhere helping out with the animals so the kids would have a great experience. The play area at Davis Farmland is also great. The kids could actually spend hours there! They loved the slide and pedal cars. It's nice as parents/grandparents can sit while the kids are playing. All in all, Davis Farmland is one of the best places we've found to take kids for a day. It is a bit expensive, but for what you get, we felt it was worth it. You can also bring in your own food, so if you go somewhere where you pay to get in then have to pay for mediocre food, you're probably paying the same amount. The restrooms are clean, numerous and little kid friendly! All in all a five star experience! read more

I really liked Davis Farmland and so did my almost-3 year old, but I can't bring myself to give it more than 3 stars because of the astronomical prices. I had coupons from Boston.com, so it was $12.95 instead of $15.95 and it STILL felt too expensive. Kids 2+ pay full price. (We did not do the maze, which costs extra) It was well kept and the people working there were friendly. There were lots of fun animals to pet...but, really, it is just a big petting zoo. We ran out of things to see less than an hour into our visit. For a few extra bucks you can go to the awesome Southwick's Zoo, Edaville, a Children's Museum, and spend a substantially longer amount of time there. I'll go again, but not unless I have a coupon! read more

Great place to spend a summer's day. Playgrounds, toddler mini town, bouncy house & jumping pad, enhanced splash park, baby animals that you can pet and feed, and very friendly staff. I spent 6 hours there with a 3 year old, and neither one of us had a meltdown! read more

After visiting here again with my second son, I have an even better appreciation of this place. It is really special and well taken care of but the best part, the staff is really friendly and goes out of their way to make people feel welcome. They even bring various smaller animals around for the kids to see up close and pet. Plus price wise you get a lot for your money and there are a lot of attractions here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for just a nice family attraction with lots to do! read more

we had guests for our annual apple picking excursion this year and they wanted a corn maze. personally, i wanted to go the one where those morons had to call the police when they got "lost" 200 yards from the exit, but that was out of the way for people making a return trip to nyc. i didn't really keep track, but i feel we dropped an impressive amount of change. the maze was cool, but i found myself curious if they could actually enforce the $1,000.00 fine for touching the corn. nevertheless, they had cool little activity stations & spots in the maze and you can easily kill a couple of hours in there. this place really isn't an orchard, though apple picking is offered. there were only 3 types of apples and maybe 10 rows of trees. i think because it's smaller, there were still plenty of apples, but clearly the focus at davis is the maze and the petting zoo. they've got a pumpkin patch as well, but no real country store to speak of. there's a sizable tent over by the maze, but they sell mostly touristy stuff and things that just seem out of place. i mean, i know i walked out of the maze thinking, "that was great. where can i get an inflatable alien and a toy ray gun to commemorate this experience?" but not many people are like me. look, it was fun. a little expensive, but i'm sure designing and maintaining that maze is costly. if you are looking for a day on a working farm, this is a good place to go. if you're looking for apple picking and that sort of experience, i'd send you somewhere else. read more

I freaking love Davis Farmland. It's such a fun place to take your kids. Is it a bit pricey? Yes (we had the Breathe New Hampshire coupon book and it saved us some money, plus our youngest isn't 2 yet so she was free, so we ended up paying for me and my hubby). But the amount you get out of it more than makes up for it. It's not just a petting zoo like so many of these reviews state. They have events set up throughout the day for kids to actually help with different activities. Collecting eggs, milking the cows.. There are "farmers" walking around the grounds with small animals (like a small bunny that was 5 feet away from our table when we were eating, that kids could "walk" on the leash, and brush.. which preoccupied my 5 year old when she was finished eating 10 minutes before the rest of us). We visited the day after a huge rain storm and there were a couple workers shoveling watery sand out of one of the sandboxes. My daughter wanted to help and she got a Junior Farmer sticker. She thought that was SO cool (Why can't they stay that easy to please forever?) They had a room full of adorable kittens for adoption. They were so cute, they almost made me rethink how much I can't stand cats. Almost ;) The biggest things for me are the super clean restrooms, and the fact that you can bring your own lunch in. As a family of 4, this saves us an incredible amount of money. I also love the pretend play areas. My girls could have spent all day in the play camp area and the store/house. It's about a 45 minute drive from us but we try to make it out there at least once a year. Maybe we will go back later in the year for the Halloween party and apple/pumpkin picking. read more

Looooove it! Love that some animals are free to roam and babies come up to the children. I love how awesome and in good moods the staff always are. This is the most awesome place to come with kids! read more

We brought our 2 year old with friends who are members. We loved it and the security is awesome, there are not enough places who require that. Two gentlemen were trying to come in to meet people and they would not allow them in without the people they were meeting there. I truly appreciate that as we are going somewhere we want our kids to feel safe and free to roam around. I gave it 4 stars because as others said its very pricey and the food was not worth what they charge for it. We will bring lunch next time if we return. All in all though a great experience. read more

I LOVED this place for my 2 year old. It was AbFab, as far as I am concerned. The GPS brought me a really funky way, and I found it, but I would say it's a good idea to go by the directions on the pamphlet if you can. There is a TON to do. We were the first ones there (which I highly recommend) and had the petting area to ourselves for a while. The staff were helpful and just amazing, even let my son hold a baby goat. So CUTE! There was a neverending selection of things to do.. a hayride, bicycles, playgrounds, make-bleieve areas, a bouncy house, a water splash park (which we did not utilize because of the cool weather), just SO MUCH TO DO! We stayed for 3 hours and were able to do it all minus the water area. I felt it was so worth the money. We used the AAA discount ($2 off pp) and the free animal feed cup coupon on the pamphlet. We didn't really like much in the gift shop. We also brought a picnic lunch and ate in the parking lot, which was a nice perk. I highly recommend this place for 2 and 3 year olds. 10 and over not so much. read more

This place was amazing! The only reason I didn't make it 5 stars is was because of the price and the quality of the food. We went later in the season to save some money and We had library passes to even save $8 more on the admission. I feel like since this is a children's discovery farm that maybe the adult admission should be cheaper since we can't really play in a lot of the areas and we are essentially just watching our kids have the time of their lives but it is what it is. I have been told that summer months, the place is crowded and lines to get in are loooooong but would cool to be able to play at the splash pad which is HUGE and very spacious (at least it looks it when it's closed). As for the food, the chicken fingers were extremely salty tasting, the bread for the sandwich tastes plasticy and the mac and cheese was very creamy but it was too cheddary. I can't imagine too many kids liking such sharp cheddar tasting mac and cheese. The apple cider donuts were also not very good. They were over fried, greasy and VERY sugary. I love all the hand on experiences they have there from actually holding baby goats, kittens, and chicks but u get to pets cows, llamas, camels and so much more. Definitely a different experience for sure. They give you a TON of feed that most people there weren't going through the entire cups worth. read more

Lots of friendly animals. The typical petting zoo animals with unusual versions/species and some unexpected exotic animals. The day we went they had a alligator you could pet! What I was most impressed with was how it didn't smell too bad and there was little poop. Only almost stepped on a landmine once. Anybody complaining about the price must not realize poop does not pick itself up. Don't forget you get $2 off with Stop & Shop card or AAA. Another tip: make sure you stop by Rota Spring Farm for outstanding ice cream. Best local dairy type I've ever had. read more

Lots of fun things to do. My lo love the make believe carpenter, miniature houses , market and animals. We especially enjoyed the big white slide in the adventures land and the hay ride. The big important to remember is You have to have a child with you to visit or you can make especially request to get a pass to visit without a child. Bracelet is provided in the entrance with the same number for the whole group and later matched with the adults # when it's time to leave the park . Bring lunch so you have more time to play instead of waiting in line for expensive food. If your child and family enjoy going to Davis farm , it worthy to buy the membership. The cost for admission I don't love it so much. Make sure check their web for price or find a coupon . AAA members get $2 off. I believe military gets discounts as well. Before planning to visit check their last time admission. read more

Brought a small group of our sales associates here as a reward for ticking off the top numbers in the region in terms of shortened sales cycles and combined account retention. Very proud of my boys! The only mistake I made was not researching just how scary the corn maze actually is especially, I assume, on Fright Night. Some of the guys were giving me the eye like - What were you thinking? I assured them I thought it would be more fun than terrifying but we basically had a nice time anyway. Some of the gore was extremely realistic and the actors are basically method actors who delight in frightening the crowd. After hours trying to decipher the maze we had to "give up" and just use Google Maps to get out. Honestly, even then it wasn't exactly easy. A couple guys did the zip line and we all played human chess, even though no one knew the rules, LOL. Some of us will definitely be returning with our families. read more

What a fabulous place! It's not just a petting zoo, but includes small animals roaming around with us and an amazing splash park. You can pet animals, feed animals, walk around with the animals, take a hay ride (included in admission and a great hayride!), see baby animals, play in the water at the splash park, eat decent food, enjoy fresh cider donuts, and so much more! Customer service is some of the most phenomanal I've experienced in Massachusetts. Super nice staff! We brought our toddler here and she loves it. I went with a 5 year old also the first time and he loved it. I can see even older kids enjoying it as well! Yes it's a bit pricier but you can make it a whole day event, it's not like you're paying amusement park prices. It's a great family activity. Kids under 2 are free. Use your AAA card and get a $2 discount on admission per person. read more

Have always loved visiting at least once a year. Today we were with our 9 year old niece who is blind. Without any prompting the staff went out of their way to make her welcomed and involved at the different locations. It was a very special day. read more

I brought my son Vinny, to Davis Farmland this past weekend and if I may, say so, this place

This place is essentially a stretched out farm, but the animals are exploited differently. Instead of the traditional method of milking, shearing, egging (although I'm sure they still do all that), the animals here are just for show....they're absolutely adorable! On the subject of exploitation, they should exploit the popularity of these guys and just name it Farmland! The 'Davis' part seems irrelevant to children. read more

This place has grown so much! We took our older kids years ago and returned with our 3 yrold and it's even better then before! Lots of cute animals and lots to do for the kids! So much fun! read more

My daughter loves this place, and I think it's pretty cool too. The whole place is one giant petting zoo, with all types of farm animals. They have a cool little water park and awesome playgrounds and play areas. Next year I'll be buying the season pass. read more

Coming here was a family tradition however they are constantly changing the events that are available and then not updating their website. We arrived this year, spent the high fee to get in, only to find that what was advertised on their website was unavailable. We won't be coming here again. read more

My son (almost 2) loved it. I was hesitant at first due to the price but once we got there I felt better about spending the money. He enjoyed the animals, playing in the different playgrounds and then spending time in the splash area. We brought our own snacks so that offset the price and lunch for him was only like $5 so I felt it was expensive to enter but not so bad for things once we were inside. Would definitely go again but will be going to my library for sure to get the discount pass. read more

Their corn maze was unreal!! The first year I went it took me and my boyfriend 3 hours to get out and we had to cheat to do that! So the next year we came with reinforcements and redeemed ourselves by not cheating and getting out in 2 hours. Thankfully last year they got rid of the annoying annoncements everytime someone successfully found their way out. It really starts to wear you down when you are hearing 9 and 10 year olds making their way out in no time. A must do in MA in the fall! I am definetly going back again! read more

Davis Farmland is one of my favorite places to go during the summer. I have three boys and they have each enjoyed the farm for many many years. My oldest is turning 11 on Friday and he wants to go again. I am thrilled! Besides the adorable baby animals (goats, sheep, pigs, cows, bunnies, kitties and more) they have great playgrounds, an awesome pretend area with a workshop, grocery store and vet clinic. The kids love it. They have things for the older kids too, like "goat cart" riding (go carts powered by pedals), bouncy house, hay rides and a splash park. In addition to all of the fun, the staff is AMAZING! Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I can't say enough about this place. As a bonus, you can bring your own food in (or order there and the prices are great) and they have a great safety system to keep kids safe. Go and have fun!!! read more

We booked a 5 year olds birthday party here because it was highly by a few friends. Let me just say it was an awesome experience. All the staff are so nice. Especially Johnny, the staff member that helped keep the kids on schedule and entertained. He was really great with the kids. Took all the stress of organizing everything away from my wife and myself. The place is amazingly clean. We were on the water side and had a lot of fun things to do for the little ones. The food was great for a amusement place. The kids loved the cupcake and Sunday decorating. They helped clean up the area after and let us stay past our scheduled time as no other parties were scheduled (note: they can't always accommodate this was just nice that they did). So many animals to interact with. Great reptile show by a conservation officer. Not one time did I feel any stress and this is the biggest reason I'm giving 5 stars. Thank you. P.S I'm pretty sure one of the Davis's was riding around in a mobility scooter with a Hedgehog in the basket to let kids pet. Baller. read more

Always a great time for the kids. We've had a membership for a few years. It's a great place for the kids to place that's 100% safe.

Such a great place for toddlers !! I love how you can interact with all of the animals there. The place is extremely clean. There are sinks and hand sanitizer stations throughout. Even boo-boo stations if you need a band aid ! The employees there will interact with your children and encourage them to pet animals and ask how you are doing. The food is good. Love the splash park as well. Pricey in my opinion but well worth it. Absolutely love it there !! read more

I went apple picking here. It was a nice day. We came in and had to wait for a few minutes for someone to come and let us go in. Then we started apple picking. There were only two types of apples but they were tasty. Its a fun activity to do but theres better places to go read more

Awesome place for kids! Lots of animals and play areas.

Davis farmland is a combination petting zoo and working farm. It's one of the largest petting zoos that I've seen. I have been coming to Davis farmland for multiple years now as my daughters really enjoy the farm and animals. It's become an annual summer activity. The girls enjoy feeding the goats and the other animals, as well as the pony rides. Price to get in and food can be on the high side, which is why it's only four stars. It also costs two dollars for a cup of feed and three dollars to ride the pony. The food prices are outrageous (i.e. hot dog =$4); I've seen people bring in their own food. Overall a good take for the kids and family. read more

I'd heard a lot about the corn maze here and was NOT disappointed! I went with my 15 year old daughter and she and I spent just over an hour going throughout most of the maze, finally arriving at the exit. The extra add-ons were tedious to her, but I enjoyed learning about the other mazes they've had over the last several years. read more
