Love this little farm. The animals seem happy and well-cared for. Their quality of life seems good - which is important to our when choosing an attraction to visit. It's a great size for younger kids - we typically spend 1-2 hours there. We just went back this past week. The winter wonderland is fun to visit - our kids love the Christmas maze. When we were there, we saw 2x baby goats being born and there were 2x other 4 day old goats. So adorable! read more

My kids had a blast, but I'm not sure how this place is still running. There are a huge number of animals here and they all need more care. 1) There was a dead chicken in the chicken coop. I wonder if they tested for avian flu. 2) The bunny habitat was covered in bunny poo. 3) The pigs are so overfed that their jowls and bellies nearly touch the ground. 4) The horses are coated in mud, mats, and their hooves are cracked because they have not been cleaned in a very long time. Horses require daily grooming. 5) The cows have clumps of mud hanging from their hair and likely have an issue with mites or lice. They could not stop itching. 5) Heaps of junk were everywhere in the public areas. 6) At no place on the farm was there a staff member present to ensure the safety of the animals or guests, even with 100s of guests on site. read more

Second Christmas in a row that we've enjoyed Winter Wonderland with Goats, and the grandkids were super excited about a 2nd visit! Definitely worth the family trip. You won't be sorry and the kids will be talking about it for days! Best thing to do in Chapel Hill read more

this was the best experience! I keep telling everyone about Spring Haven ! Upon entering the farm, the goats greet you right away, and Pumpkin carving with the goats was the best experience! There was a fire pit and s'mores, bubbles blowing all around, a tractor ride, a gem mine, swings, and axe throwing for grown ups! read more

What a gem! So beautiful, amazing staff, totally worth the drive (we live in Holly Springs). We did the carving pumpkins and it was so much fun - not having to deal with pumpkin guts at my house would have made it worth it but to be surrounded by adorable goats made it such a perfect activity. read more

We come here every year and look forward to it! This year it was even better as some new things were added. The goats are adorable and so much fun. We had one that settled into our wagon when we were carving pumpkins and stayed the whole time!! Loved it!! read more

I've gone here for a few different fun events. My favorite was pumpkin carving with the baby goats in fall time. They had a bunch of tables where you can carve your pumpkins and the goats are very interactive and eating leftover pumpkin guts. A wonderful family fun event, or even if you want to go as a date with your significant other! I went with my husband since we don't have children and there were a few other couples without children there carving as well. Totally worth the money. Definitely pay extra to feed the goats. It makes the experience more fun! read more

I've heard great things about Spring Haven farm but haven't had the chance to visit until yesterday. This farm was a lot of fun. It's a small farm but well kept. I noticed a few birthday parties going on. Tractor rides for kids and adults. Lots of baby goats to hold and pet. Plenty of animals to feed! The staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean and everything was affordable! They host themed events which is really cool too! Definitely will be back to visit! read more

Pure, family fun! My granddaughter, Alice. And I have been visiting Spring Haven Farm for the last four years and there's no end in sight. We stay for a few hours, playing and laughing with the goats, enjoying face painting, arts &crafts, mining, s'mores and all the other activities. We love the pizza pasta Bella food truck! We do miss the haunted house and winter Wonderland. Bring them back! Thank you for a family tradition! read more

We attended the valentine event and we had a great time. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the animals are treated very well. The mini fuzzy cows were my favorite and I really think I need one in my life in the future . Clean restrooms and places to wash your hands. Nice place and not too far of a drive Raleigh. read more

We visited the farm this past Sunday to participate in carving pumpkins with goats, for us it was a 10 out of ten experience! The farm itself was very well maintained and the animals seemed happy, well cared for and loved. After choosing our pumpkins, we were given everything we needed to carve them and headed to the goat yard. The goats were incredibly interactive, they allowed themselves to be pet, hugged and photographed! I am highly recommended this experience! read more

I came with a group of friends to Spring Haven for a pumpkin carving with goats event. We were greeted by Lucy the dog who was such a sweetheart as well as Annie the donkey, and Petunia the pig! We were sold from the beginning! You can either walk through the maze or around it to get to the pumpkin carving stations. I would think of the day of the week you go as weekdays there are more goats than people and the goats can be overwhelming sometimes. If I go again, I would choose a weekend day so that there is more people for the goats to be distracted with. Other than that it was a wonderful experience! read more

My friend and I were visiting from out of town this past weekend. We made last minute reservations on Halloween at the farm. They were warm and welcoming. All the animals are obviously well-cared for and social. I love goats and the pumpkin carving was so much fun with all the goats running around playing and interacting. The haunted house at the end was a nice touch too! I would definitely come back here! read more

Spring Haven Farm - Feeding time! - Farms Near Me - Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Fun place for the kids. There are lots of friendly animals to pet and feed. Buy the animal treats. The tractor rides were great for the kids and the staff was friendly. I feel the price was a bit high for the 5 of us, but we all had a good time and will probably go back next time we are in town. read more

We love coming here. They've got so many animals and a lot of land. Food to feed the animals is inexpensive and being around a fire with some smores is just great. The goats are very fiesty lol read more

Please be advised as to how their membership works because I misunderstood the way they worded the discount part or they did not commit to how it was worded so I paid $80 after tax for membership and in the section where it explained the wonderful benefits it said that you get 20 percent off admissions not a admission so this is why I had purchased this membership to start with but it's only a one TIME 20 percent discount ALL other admissions are regular price so this is not a good deal for me personally and if you try and buy tickets in separate transactions they have it blocked to where you again only get that ONE TIME discount and I did bring it up to an employee and she said that she had applied the discount but it wasn't I paid regular admission so this is a warning to other people so that you don't get stuck with a $80 dollar membership that really doesn't save you to much that's the reason why I join memberships to get the savings . I was disappointed with this not being clear when buying it . Be ware read more

I personally wasn't that impressed with this farm. Actually its probably one of the worst I have been too. There wasn't alot to it and the kids who I took were not even impressed. There is very little to do and we just didn't enjoy it. read more

Amazing farm with mining and games. Gentle animals (dogs, goats, cows, horses, donkey,...). Cuteness overload with the baby goats. Great way to spend a couple hours (be careful, the kids won't want to leave and you may find yourself there the whole day). Have hosted 2 birthday parties there and would highly recommend it. read more

A visit to Spring Haven Farm is good soup for the soul. We've been many times, and each time is like the first. Highly recommend a visit for couples, families and friends - the animals are wonderful, and I have a soft spot for those baby goats! read more

Our favorite pumpkin patch closed after last year's season, so this year we have been wanting to find another fun spot to go that isn't too crowded (been there, done that) and would be a unique experience. Well, carving pumpkins WITH BABY GOATS definitely was a great experience! Tickets must be purchased online, not at the farm -- I don't know if we were super lucky or if the place actually limits the amount of people by their online ticketing system, but it was pleasantly bustling but not busy. Nothing like the big farms we've been to on weekends. This is ideal probably for younger families (those with kiddos maybe 6 or 7 and younger) or for those who just love goats. I did spy a few young couples here too, and I'm guessing they fit the latter group: goat fans! And, really, I don't see how you can't be a fan of goats after this experience. You get to carve your pumpkins with about 15 or 20 baby goats jumping up on the tables around you, putting their cute little heads inside of hollowed out pumpkins, petting them, feeding them (they seem to prefer the actual meat of the pumpkin, not the guts or seeds). It's really quite the experience! Side note on pricing: when you check the facebook page, it says a certain price and that is the "with pumpkin" price -- it's still about what you expect at other pumpkin patches around the Triangle, but there is also a "without pumpkin" price for families who just want to make one jack-o-lantern which is about $5 less. Also! There's an incredibly nice donkey (Annie, I think), horses, ducks, free-range chickens (careful when parking!), pigs, adult goats, a kid tractor ride, an adult tractor ride (about 15 minutes or so with a great explanation of the farm), picnic tables for snacks, a small concession stand, many hand-washing stations, a small "spooky" (not scary) maze, face painting... it probably varies by season too. The animals are all so friendly, and you can buy carrots and pellets to feed them by hand (except the pigs, drop the food in front of them). Everyone working at the farm was so nice and helpful too. I'd recommend wearing shoes & clothes you're comfortable getting dirty - it is a farm after all! We really had a great time here. Such a unique experience! It's a bit of a drive for us, but I can almost guarantee my 5 year old is going to request going back here next weekend! Oh, added bonus: it's easy to find, google maps does a great job getting you there. And, not a lot of crazy country roads, unless you "avoid highways" with your navigation and then maybe you would get a lot of that! It looks like they also do "Goat Yoga," movie nights with goats, & birthday parties! read more

We did the Valentine's with goats yesterday! Talk about a fun, family friendly experience. We gotten our tickets in advance and good thing we did, the parking lot was packed at 11 am. The farm itself was very clean and they let feed almost every animal except the horses. My w year old got a kick out of everything. Definitely be coming back again. read more

Nice get away from the doldrum of the day to day routine. If you want a glimpse of the "homestead" life and enjoy being able to interact with tame animals while enjoying activities they have for kids and adults, check it out. Check their website to see what they have scheduled and if it sounds interesting to you. This may not be for everyone but for others it's a gem. read more

Such an amazing experience! I took my kids for a fun little "farm" day and I can truly say it was such a hit! From horses, to the highlander cattle, to the mini tractor rides... and let's not forget goats! It was all so warm and welcoming. We had S'mores and went through the winter wonderland barn. It truly is a hidden gem! Definitely will be coming back. read more

My family of 4 (2 toddlers) went on a late winter/Spring weekend day & loved it! Nice staff, not crowded, animals had roaming space (especially those goats!) ....we had a great time. There's a tractor train ride, bar on sight and picnic tables to bring your own food and eat. We purchased a pack of three s'mores and my kids had a blast! Will return soon read more

My husband and I have been here twice, for pumpkin carving with goats and winter wonderland with goats. Both times have been fantastic experiences! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, but of course the main draw is the animals!! They are all so cute and friendly! The goats in the yard vary in size from little babies to medium sized mamas, the bigger ones are behind fences (but you can still give them treats and pet them). Pumpkin carving day was really busy but there were still enough goats to go around. I recommend getting two bags of treats per person - the carrots for all the friendos and then the seeds for the goats. read more

Plenty of animals to be seen and interact with. Staff was friendly and the bag of treats was a good value. Targeted towards smaller children but adults can certainly still have fun! read more

SO MUCH FUN! Went to the Pumpkin and Goats event with adult friends. Staff was super friendly. The goats were friendly and ever hungry. Did the hay ride and marshmallow toasting too. Really fun day. Recommended for kids and adults. read more

This place is amazing!! I went here during the week, and this filled all of my expectations! I had heard of Spring Haven Farms through a website showing cheap things to do in the Triangle. The pictures made the farm look big, and they were not exaggerating! This is cute little farm is reasonably big, but you'd never know, because it is tucked away in the trees. As for the animals, there are plenty! They have goats, horses, potbelly pigs, roosters, chickens, hens, cattle, quail, ducks, turkeys, bunnies, and a lazy but happy donkey. There are so many cute baby animals as well, including an ADORABLE baby goat named Holly. People are allowed to pick her up, pet her, and more! This farm should be a must on everybody's list. It is a great thing to do during quarantine, but try to go early, because the animals prefer to eat earlier. They also are more likely to be active before the noontime sun. But watch out! Certain animals on this farm roam free, such as the chickens and the donkey. It can be a surprise to see one of them tearing free across the area! Be sure to check this place out! It's absolutely amazing!! read more

We went to the farm with 2 young kids and a preteen who had a blast during fall. It's not super huge but perfect for a nice outside day. We carved pumpkins rode the wagon and love the animals. The pumpkin are a bit over priced but not that bad compared to other farms. We will be back. We loved it. read more

We visited Spring Haven Farm for their Goatstravaganza event with our Girl Scout troop. While we were at first hesitant about the price, we quickly learned that the admission cost was worth EVERY PENNY once we arrived!!! Our troop and families fully enjoyed themselves during the several hours we spent there. We especially enjoyed the feeding the animals! There was also a great variety of food and drinks available for purchase. All of the staff that we interacted were AMAZING! We hope to return soon! read more
