I was so excited that there was a sunflower attraction close by!…read more Tickets were purchased online and the whole visit was smooth sailing! Each ticket comes with 3 sunflower cuttings and they even offered 3 cuttings for my baby :) The attraction itself isn't huge but it's absolutely beautiful. They had some tractors and hay seats for photo ops, as well as an ice cream truck and slides for the kids. I believe there's also cows nearby but we weren't able to see them. The staff is super friendly, the attraction is clean and welcoming, and they offer hayrides! They have a covered seated area to sit and relax as well as a sandbox for the little ones. Pick some flowers, take some photos for the gram, and enjoy the beautiful sunflowers

Had a great afternoon visiting for the first time with my dog! There were lots of activities, like…read morewatching farm animals (goats- including baby ones!/kids, cows, bunnies, and chickens), walking to the pumpkin patch, walking around ponds, and enjoying a pizza snack in the picnic area. They also had hay rides but we didn't go because it was a little too sunny for our dog. Everything was free, which was nice! Very free form and you can walk around everything easily. There is also a big farm store in the center with pumpkins, mums, apple cider donuts, pies, jams, etc! The driving is one way so it's easy to get in and out of the farm. The pizza was tasty and ready in 5 min because they precooked the dough. I was hesitant about that technique (never seen pizza dough cooked and stacked like pita bread), but it had a nice crunch and the tomato sauce tasted pure. $23 for credit, $20 for cash. Overall, a nice experience and felt more rustic than more commercial farm places!

Ended up having to purchase tickets a week in advance. There is lots of parking on site. There is a lot to do outside of the corn maze itself. There were pony rides, zip lines, slides, swings, a hayride and more. The corn maze was a lot of fun because there are locations in the maze that you have to find and you use an app on your phone to track your progress. They have food trucks there and my daughter and I enjoy our guilty pleasure....funnel cake!! Overall we had a great time and will definitely go again next year.

There is a small gift shop and a cute cat in sweater that is free to pet, although they do charge $20/hour to pet the bald cat. There are other animals there (goats, horses) and I think it costs more to cuddle/pet those animals. Be warned - this is a small cow pasture, so expect mud I don't know what a fair price is, but these seems decent Kind of a schlep to get there The bathroom is in their house!

Over the years, we've done apple, strawberry, and blueberry picking here, but the fall pumpkin festival is the best.

A 45-minute drive from Washington, D.C., Wild Kid Acres is a petting farm along the water in rural…read moreMaryland where kids can come close to farm animals for enjoyment, therapy and exercise. Opened during the pandemic after the owners returned from Cameroon, Wild Kid Acres is a 5-acre farm of rescue animals. When you arrive, you feel like you're driving into someone's private driveway. Don't fret. Follow the "Wild Kid Acre" sign to park and the owner will greet you like a member of his family. The front area has a Little Free Library, a small playground with a slide and a climbing wall and an area with picnic tables and small farm animals like goats and chickens. Once you get your fill of love from the goats and chickens, the owner will guide you to the other animals- two pigs, a horse, a mini horse and cows. They ask that you don't pet them on the head and some are very nervous being rescue animals. Other than that, they are very friendly and love being around children. People can book an hour appointment online and it cost $15 per adult and $10 per child. Wild Kid Acres also hosts therapy sessions and goat yoga. With plenty of outdoor space to spread out, it's the perfect pandemic activity. If you need food, drive ten minutes into downtown Edgewater or further north to Annapolis.

Who are these adorable, gentle, soft and playful creatures? We met these gentle friends at Breezy…read moreHill Farm in Woodbine, MD which was about an hour's drive from DC. Alpacas, a member of the camelid family, are smaller and nicer than llamas, a relative. Mainly, they don't spit, at least not intentionally. We found these alpacas to be sweet, soft and silly. It was a little difficult to find the farm. The entrance is not clearly marked and we made at least two wrong forays onto adjacent properties before finding the farm. Once there we were welcomed by Heather, one of the owners, who gave us a brief rundown before introducing us to some of their goats, sheep, turkeys, donkey. She led us to the paddocks where the alpacas were, giving us instructions on how to approach them, how to feed them, how to pet them. Most had been recently shorn and Heather provided us with feed and the alpacas eagerly ate from our outstretched palms. They were soft and plush, the females more delicate eaters and the males (separated in a different area) were gobblers. These are animals, not pets, so while they are gentle, they do have wills of their own. It was a warm day and the alpacas enjoyed a spray from the hose. It was funny to see how excited they were to feed (reminds me of my dogs) and they ran after Heather when she got the food. Afterwards, we went to the barn where Heather, a fiber artist, demonstrated how the alpaca fur can be mixed with other fibers, how the wool is felted, and how it can be spun into yarn. There are textiles, yarn, garments for sale. Reservations are required. Sign up for the first time slot. Our tour ran over by 30 minutes and the next group had to wait. It is a picturesque drive to the farm but keep in mind that it turns into a two lane road through country lanes. We had left plenty of time for the drive but with our misdirected turnarounds and some road construction we ended up cutting it close.
