I gave this location 4-star before for the fall/pumpkin patch time. This time I have to give this location 3-stars. This time I came to the tulip farm event at Montpelier and for some reason.. things just appeared to be more closed off than what I remember from the fall. Less animals available, less open-field for picture and video opportunities. The hay ride was still available, small food and drink options too were available.. just overall, I prefer the fall pumpkin patch over the spring, tulip farm.
"When Beauty Blossoms" If ever there was an outing filled with gorgeous colors and a million blooms to choose from.... Montpelier Farm took flower picking to another level !! For under $20 per ticket ( early bird special ) the family was treated to the most amazing garden ever. If you're into flowers, fun and gorgeous baby goats... then I encourage you to go online and purchase you a ticket today !!!
One of my fav pumpkin patches every year to go! Good parking and plenty of activities for kids to do. Although I wasn't able to eat any of their foods from the food trucks today (they were closed. maybe because it's a Thursday?) I'll have to go back to try some of the food truck food. :) overall, I had a great time on the hay ride and the apple cider donut was delicious.
I visited Montpelier Farms in Upper Marlboro on a Tuesday midday with a friend and brought my dog along for a little adventure. It was super easy to get tickets, and we had a blast with all the activities. I really enjoyed everything from the tractor trailer hayride to swinging a rope to catch the fake bull horns, playing basketball, bowling, and of course, going through the corn maze and sliding down the tube slide. My dog loved the fresh air and the walk around the farm. The hot cider with a donut on top was a sweet treat, even if I had to dodge a few bees. It's not far from D.C., and I'll definitely be returning next year. You don't need kids to enjoy it--it's perfect for anyone with an inner child, friends looking for a fun outing, or even a day out with your pets. Plus, it was very affordable. Highly recommend!
A fall festival in name and name only. At a price tag of $19.95 online and $26.95 at the door, not including add-ons, this place left a lot to be desired. Paid Attractions: Mega slide - $4 for one ride or $6 for unlimited pp. - this consists of two slides and was the highlight for my kids. Jump pad - $2pp Duck racing - $2pp Pumpkin chucking - $2pp Pumpkin painting -$6(pumpkin included) Free: Pig race - two people at a time. You pull a lever up and down to move it along. It got stuck often and the kids tired of it fairly quickly. Tug of war - standard 3 slides (all the same length) the slides are too dry to ride down they need sacks or a straw to work properly. Hayride - Standard Trikes that were on a graveled incline so you couldn't ride them. Maze - standard Multiple food options and a store but after spending $83 for admission and the unlimited slide there was no way I was adding to that total. The attractions were plenty but the quality overall was lacking at the price tag. I feel the price is inflated because it is the closest farm in the area but if you're willing to drive check out Butlers Orchard or Cox since you're spending the money anyway. I definitely won't be back here.
Came here for their fall festival. A bit underwhelming, for sure, for the price, I expected farm more. Get it? Anyway, this place has nothing on Miller Farms in Clinton. The various food stands were wack. Lemonade was terrible. Corn was terrible. Pizza was fine. So many components of the festival were half-baked or in need of updates/upgrades.
Had a lovely time during their fall festival. My grandson had a great time. He especially enjoyed playing on the trucks, tractors, and seeing the animals. Definitely check it out.
NOT THE BEES, NOT THE ______ BEES! To be fair to bees, we were not swarmed by bees (which are good) but yellowjackets (which are bad). There was no place on the farm where we could enjoy our food or drinks without getting swarmed by yellowjackets.
A friend and I attended Montpelier Farm's Fall Festival and had a great time. It's family friendly and there's something to do for all ages. Entry was inexpensive and we were able to ride the hay ride, visit the actual pumpkin patch, decorate pumpkins and enjoy fresh lemonade and popcorn! They also had a market onsite where other purchases could be made. My favorite part of the day was the pumpkin decorating, as I love artsy activities. I'd definitely recommend this place for a family fun outing.
Montpelier Farms is a farm about a 25-minute drive from Washington, D.C. My wife, toddler, friend, and I went on an October Saturday and found a fall harvest. Here's our experience: 1) Activities: The farm was set up well with tons of activities. They had a farmers market, climbing hay, a wooden train, a pumpkin patch, s'mores, crafts, food trucks, llamas, and so much more. The only thing is to access a lot of it, you had to pay $12. 2) Pumpkins: They have a wide variety of orange and white pumpkins set out on a hill. If you were expecting picking them off the vine, that isn't the case. They are all detached from the vine and thrown onto a hill for you to pick from. Our toddler LOVED this farm, but we were a little too cheap to pay to do all the activities. Instead, we walked around, played on the train, and picked pumpkins.

My wife and I visited Montpelier Farms during their fall festival and had a great time. We don't have kids, and while there's obviously plenty here geared toward families, there was a lot for us to enjoy as adults. We ate some of their delicious, fresh donuts, browsed their store (and purchased several jams, and treats), shot paintballs, went on the hayride, and checked out all the barn animals. We arrived early, which I highly recommend. Parking was a breeze and we didn't have to deal with long lines. By the time we left there were cars and people everywhere. Being early is definitely the move. My wife also tried two of their cider drinks and loved them. They were a little too sweet for me, but definitely worth trying if sweet drinks are your thing. The area where they serve the cider also has a beautiful view looking down toward the corn maze, which was a nice place to stop and take everything in and take afew photos. Overall, we had a really fun fall day here. You definitely don't need to have kids to enjoy yourself. It's well worth a visit, and I'd happily go back. read more

This spot was cute and conveniently closer to home, which I appreciated. I understand that the condition of the tulips wasn't within their control, but I did wish there had been a bit more to do in the area. That said, I was still able to pick some beautiful, healthy tulips. For context, we visited on the last Friday before the season ended. The service has been consistently good--this was my second time visiting the farm. They also had fresh strawberry donuts, which were a pleasant surprise and absolutely delicious. As for pricing, the ticket included 5 tulips, which felt fair, but I do think all entry tickets should come with tulips. The website, however, was confusing. My friends purchased "double" tickets, and the way it was listed led us to believe something different, so they ended up buying more tickets than needed. The options were labeled 2, 4, 6, etc., which caused the confusion. It would've been clearer if it explicitly stated "Double (2 people)," "Double (4 people)," and so on. They definitely need to improve that for a smoother experience. read more

Major safety + service concerns. My review is for the festival private bonfire experience. To precede, it is being left after several attempts at contacting the establishment via email & phone which came with in-person advance notice that I had concerns on the day of my visit. (I do try to reconcile issues prior to public reviews.) I booked a Winter Fest private bonfire after getting rained out during Fall Fest. Booking correspondence was a bit slow, but fine enough considering the busy season. Nothing left me skeptical that I'd be met with safety hazards or I wouldn't have bothered. I can't review any Winter Fest activities because the bonfire was too far away + too dark for guests to visit. Which brings me to: A) no advance notice of distance - combined with terrain + lack of lighting, it'd be a challenge for anyone not relatively fit & fully aware to travel back and forth from activities. The trek is neither a straight nor paved/flat. Tree lines make it more challenging. One guest noted going back to the checkin due to confusion. Concerning for anyone walking alone. B) My group was the only bonfire booked this evening, making it extra dark/deserted. No additional lighting on the trail and they refused to let us park closer, forcing folks to walk (seemed to be so they could monitor guests paying the entry fee). Not disregarding that rules can be rules for a reason, I called upon arrival expressing concern and asking if there could be an exception or assistance since we were literally the only ones there. Response: "our staff is trained to direct guests" + "there's a liability with vehicles because of potential animals." Ok... one staff member shined a flashlight to direct a guest towards the bonfire area and said "oh, it's dark. You probably can't see it" and still allowed them to walk themselves. Is this the training?? Vehicle liability is more important that human health/injury liability?? C) I set up my own lantern in an attempt to assist guests. They acknowledged it helped which makes it hard to understand why the Farm hasn't set up additional light source. Bonfire reservation times begin AFTER sunset for winter fest. D) Bonfire service is marketed to include attendance to keep the fire going. Ours went almost fully out twice -- only kept alive by guests finding sticks to try and keep it going. I sent a text (unanswered) and called to get them to send someone. Did I mention we were the only fire?! E) All aside, my group was having fun b/c of camaraderie. We did not receive a heads up our time was ending, but when it was over, the manager drove down and started yelling the host's [me] name. Someone pointed and I was standing beside a friend. She began speaking unprofessionally to the friend that "time was up and all of these people need to go!" before walking off. I called after her. She yells back over and once I explain I had no intention to yell back and forth past the group, she comes over and I explain she badgered the wrong person. (I checked in face-to-face, but regardless, it would be professional to make sure you're addressing the proper person.) F) Of approx. 10+ staff I saw that evening, I am concerned that only 1 (the manager), maybe 2 is over 18. When I went to find someone to express concern (and had to explain to the teen at the gate that they weren't closed yet so I should be let in), there was a gallery on teens observing. I didn't feel they deserved to be present and wasn't offered privacy, so I said I would call instead... attempted and here we are. Additionally, if there was an emergency, what training or maturity is present? 1 start because my friends are great and prior planning helped make it a nice time. (I supplied all of my own roasting sticks, appetizers, decor, etc.) With Covid especially, this Farm has the potential to be an AMAZING outdoor occasion. I do things like this *often* but this fell concerningly short. There are other MD farms I've frequented and I would drive hours further for better. Not worth the $ or risk. Avoid it. read more

I am super disappointed in the Sunflower Festival. For the price we paid (over $50 - one adult ticket, one child's ticket, one "Mason Jar & Blooms") I expected a much different experience. The parking lot is a field (as expected) but the grass was near knee high. It was so long and difficult for my almost 5 year old to walk in, I had to carry him (at 30 weeks pregnant). We got our wristbands and "picking tickets", take the golf cart over to the sunflower field, then stop at another tent to be told how many flowers we can pick based on the tickets you purchased. We were told 7 blooms then sent out into the field. The field is no where near organized. It's just randomly scattered and extremely difficult to navigate. We could see there were beautiful flowers off in the distance, but with no aisles or rows, we had no idea how to get there without trampling over other plants. Once we got our flowers you go back to the check in tent for them to count and put your flowers into a bag. The lady put our flowers into a bag and then just handed it across the table. I had to remind her that we paid for the Mason Jar arrangement and she said "oops, yeah. Here you go" and she shoved the bag into a mason jar and handed it back to me. I was halfway expecting them to set them in nicely, but not a huge deal. There was a tip jar on the table, but I'm not sure what service was supposed to be tipped. I guess putting flowers in the bag? I think the most disappointing thing of all though is the livelihood (or lack there of) of my flowers only 4 days later! We picked flowers Sunday afternoon (8/6) and now on Wednesday (8/9) they are all dead/wilted/falling apart. At first they were on a table in a sunny window, but I noticed they started to look a little sad. Thinking maybe they needed direct sunlight, I changed the water and then set them outside on my deck for a little while. Now they look even worse. I wasn't expecting them to last a month, but I was expecting them to last longer than a couple days. On the upside, the apple cider donuts from the farm house store thing were very good. I am sure they are even better in the fall during the pumpkin festival. We will give Montpelier Farms a chance for fall, but I wouldn't come back for the Sunflower Festival again. It's far too overpriced for the "experience" and poor flower quality. read more

I have been here twice now, each time more special than the last. The first time I went for a 30 year old's birthday party, at night, to get lost in the Corn Maze. It was great October fun!!! Most recently I went to pick pumpkins with my family, including several young children. I thought I would be there for about an hour picking up pumpkin's and potentially drinking some hot cider while watching the kids stampede the patch. The farm had other plans for my time... Three to four hours and $70 later, I have met and fed about 15 animals including "Sweet Charles" the hungriest horse in MD, adorably savage goats, a duck with an afro (pretty sure his actual zoological name is AfroDuck lol), rabbits, etc. I had a burger, fries, kettle corn, an apple cider donut, hot chocolate and I did get my cup of cider, and bought a quart to go....the gluttonous shame. We chucked pumpkins across a field with a giant slingshot... please hit your target and break the pumpkins or poor Amanda has to walk down the steep hill and retrieve them. There was go-karting, pumpkin painting, rubber duck racing and the great outdoors. I finally made it to the Pumpkin Patch, mind you without my niece, who i cam for to finish out the best family fall photo shoot with 300 photos and the newest members of our family...four brand new baby pumpkins! P.S. - Two pumpkins were not harmed in the makings of Halloween. read more

Really enjoyed my time at Montpelier Farms. This was a great dog friendly experience for fall (I went back in October) and it was so nice to pick pumpkins and mini gourds. We reserved tickets in advance and checked in once we arrived, which made the process quite easy. The pumpkins were great quality and mine lasted until December with minimal rot. A great place for the perfect fall activity, with bonus points as I didn't have to leave my dogs at home! read more

Super cute fall pumpkin patch spot. We took my nephew here for his first pumpkin patch experience and he loved it. There were a lot of fun activities. I enjoyed the little market and all the food options. The Mexican corn and the apple cider donuts were delicious. The sunflower field was cute too. I just wish there was a better pumpkin selection, the field was pretty sparse and we didn't end up picking out any pumpkins. read more
