This is a lovely place to spend the day…read more We came around 10:30am on a Saturday. You have to check in at the front entrance and there is sometimes a charge for parking. At the cafeteria, breakfast is first come, first served from 10-11am. They have a very limited menu featuring granola bowls with yogurt, fruit puree, granola, and dried fruits. They also have soft boiled eggs, scones, muffins, coffee, and tea. Everything was fresh, hearty, and delicious. They also serve lunch in the cafeteria, but that requires a reservation. There is a Michelin starred restaurant on the property as well. The spacious grounds are a treat to walk. They rotate the location of the animals so it's a pleasant surprise to happen upon them. We saw goats, pigs, and cows. The pathways have gravel, but they were not super rough. We had two strollers with us and no issues pushing them along. We walked the short loop, but there are longer trails for those who want more. Very family friendly and peaceful for a stroll.

I came here for the tour and tray lunch on a Friday. I booked the 12pm tour with the tray lunch…read moreafter at 1pm. The tour was interesting but rather short and you don't fully see the whole farm. The bakery was probably the best part of the tour since you learn about their whole wheat baking and get to see the mill. The tour was a bit expensive so probably would skip the tour. The tray lunch was good though, the ingredients taste really fresh and you can tell nothing is processed. The farm was large and it was nice to walk around. The greenhouse, the livestock area, apiary, and vegetable field were all really nice to walk around. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

This is a small community arts center, but I really enjoyed the exhibit they had focusing on Black…read moreartists during Black history month. The exhibit, which featured some really cutting edge art, was free! Aside from this exhibition, most of what they seem to put on are individual artists and community artists (including students in their art classes). The center also has a pre-K, art classes, guest speakers for various topics. They have classes and programs for drawing, painting, ceramics, photography. They have ballet and dance classes. They have science based programs for 3D printing, robotics, coding. Music classes too! So while they may not be a full on art gallery, they are a pillar in the community, working to get residents, particularly children, engaged in the arts.

The Woodcock Nature Center is nestled in a residential area on the border of Wilton and Ridgefield…read more It is a great spot to take a hike, play at the playground at pond with the kids or see some animals. Just outside the nature center building are the birds of prey (owls and hawks) and inside they have snakes, fish, turtles and lizards. You will see birds, squirrels, chipmunks and ducks out on the hiking trails and pond. The nature center offers programs for toddlers through teens, with on-sight and off-sight programs. They offer summer camp, vacation week camps during the school year and holiday activities. The summer camp is a mix of outdoor activities, time with the animals and craft activities. Older children may choose to do a trip out on the pond with a canoe or a sleepover with a parent. Overall it is a great nature center, it is just a bit off the beaten path. No frills like the one in New Canaan, but honestly it is about the nature, right?

I sent my two kids ages 3 and 5 to a week at the summer camp program that the Nature Center offers…read more I was so impressed with this program. Both my kids loved it and are ready to go back next year. The staff is so friendly and super organized. From the entrance into the parking lot right up until I dropped off my kids in the center, there was assistance of where to go and lots of welcoming smiles for my kids. My son and I went to the campout on Friday night of his camp week. We both had a blast. Again, super organized but laid back enough that we really enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend this program. We'll be back to explore more that the center has to offer.

Very family friendly, very accessible. Highly recommend.
