    I have a bday party here in 2023 and though the price seems expensive it really is worth it. It was the easiest party experience you'll ever have. They plan it, they make the goody bags, they have the food and they guide the whole thing. You don't have to do a thing but show up. Food was great -- everyone loved the Greek salad. The cake was also very good. Recommend it 100%.

    My family and i had an amazing time at this farm on Sunday. It was our first time here and we will def be coming back yearly. It's very family friendly and there's so much to do, it's def a zoo and fall farm all in 1. Parking was a bit hectic but once inside, no stress at all. Def make sure u come with cash and take a map. They do not take cards. We went to the animal area first and were able to do the giraffe experience twice. I wish they were a bit more organized in this area so that families can really enjoy and take better pictures. I couldn't get a pic or video without other people behind me or kids getting in the way. They are my fave animal so i was in heaven but that's my only suggestion. We loved all the animals, went to the play area for my son then the hayride and to the shows. After the mutts show my son rode a horse. We also did the Dino experience which was so cute. Very similar to the Bronx zoo! I can't wait to come back already. I will plan ahead and come earlier in the day

    Atmosphere: The farm is a great size--big enough to explore without feeling overwhelming, and the price is very reasonable for families. It has a fun, welcoming vibe that's perfect for kids. Unlike some other zoos, this place offers unique touches like letting visitors feed a wide variety of animals, including the giraffe, which was a highlight. The cornfield ride adds a charming, seasonal feel and makes the visit even more memorable. Everything felt well organized, and the layout made it easy to get around. Experience: Our visit was really enjoyable overall. The kids loved being able to interact with so many animals, and the feeding stations were a big hit. Just make sure to bring cash and quarters since that's needed for feeding the animals and buying bird food. The only downside was that some of the food options felt a bit old, but the main attractions more than made up for it. Between the animal encounters, the giraffe feeding, and the cornfield ride, it was a fun and unique experience that we'd definitely recommend to other families. Free parking

    Great place to spend 2 to 3 hours with your kids or grandkids. The admission cash fee to the farm is $45. The farm had many animals to enjoy and feed. There are multiple playgrounds. Hayrides are available. Also, they had a magic show to entertain the kids. Food and drinks were available for purchase. They had a giraffe and they gave the visitors carrots to feed to the giraffe. Big pumpkin display for families to purchase.

    White Post Farms, is a great place to take your kids or grandkids. From feeding the animals ( goats, cows and giraffes, ostriches ). Visit the primate in closure . Take a ride thru the corn field on a hay ride or catch one of the shows. So much to do, remember to bring sunscreen and water, they do sell it but if you're on line it's better. Parking is plenty a little pricey but worth it. Ciao For Now

    I've worked across the street for over half a decade and I never knew this place had a full zoo/farm in the back! I visited weekly for lunch - this place has the best sandwiches, smoothies, wraps, even sushi!! I was looking for birthday party ideas for my son's 3rd and we ended up booking this place. I was nervous about booking a winter party at a farm but the staff assured me it would be indoors and warm for the kids. The staff at the farm made sure to check in with me regularly about the planning. I literally just had to show up - white post did EVERYTHING!!! Decor, food, even personalized party favours! I ordered food for adults a la carte and every bite we took was to die for. Extra shout out to Al, Kati and Ashley who were helping us through the day of - we truly had the best experience, our guests were raving!!!! Such an affordable party and truly the best idea. Thank you White Post!!!!

    What a fun place for people of all ages! Whether you're bringing the kiddies or are a couple looking for a good date spot or with friends looking for a place to hang out, there are attractions for everyone! You must pay with credit cards though. There is an ATM machine once you get inside the park. Bring quarters for the animal food! There are all types of animals including the monkeys, lemurs, goats, a bull, a horse, alpacas AND my favorite- GIRAFFES!!! There is a room to go in for birds and another room for butterflies to land on you. The farm is filled with gift stores, a huge market full of baked goods and fresh produce. We got the banana bread and it was delicious! The food court offers a wide variety. I got sushi and my nephew got chicken fingers. There are pony rides and a magic show which my 8-y.o. nephew loved. They have a huge playground to run around in.... And their new exhibit is very cool! A room full of electronic, animated dinosaurs with special effects! My nephew loved that attraction and learned so many cool new facts about dinosaurs! The exhibit was very well put together! We went in the rain and there were lots of coverings and we still had a great time! Definitely a spot to put on your bucket list!!

    Re: White Post Farm in Melville NY and the many Weekend Activities- Pros and Cons - They are open on the weekdays, but the package of events and activities is inclusive on the weekends with more things going on. Centrally located from Nassau and Suffolk for a day at a Fall Festival. We went on this past perfect weather Sunday. There were many things for kids of all ages. Choosing the best is a personal preference. Though I really want to commend Chief Explorer Carson with the new baby Daisy Dinosaur. He is great, friendly and very effective, especially with the children. (a wonderful puppeteer) A sign notes at the Dinosaur Adventure exhibition " Special Thanks to Sydney & Brooke for creating the Dinosaur Adventure for all to enjoy". The sign does also note to be aware of lights, movement etc. for those that might be sensitive or fearful of such things. Overall, it's really a great exhibit to experience. It can run into a lot of money. The activities are well spread out with shows, food, places to sit and pumpkins, baked goods and candies for purchase. Bring strollers and wheelies. No Dogs Allowed. No refunds, exchanges on purchased tickets. They are for the day. They do give you a map with a QR to scan. Don't ask the kids working there as they do not know where to direct you. There is a charming "Farmer" who does speeches of the information and answer questions. There is a parking area and handicap car park in front. Note: I suggest you go to the front end for Handicap as there is no open gate or entrance on the fenced to opening. Upon leaving there is a register with some gotcha items for sale as you pay for the items you choose to buy. Events as a magic act, circus act with pretty impressive balance act by the young man, dog act, and others are in the back area. In the front is a children's country music and dance act. Many toy items for sale as well. They also have a birthday party section. In the Animal Section there are Giraffes to pet and feed as other goats, and sheep and an area where you can watch monkeys in a small enclosure. There also is a small bird sanctuary where you can buy little cups of food to feed some of the bright colored birds there. Overall a nice way to spend the day.

    We love this place. So much to do. We just visited their Fall Festival and loved all the shows. Two special treats this year stood out. The Great Dinosaur Adventure which is a walk through Pavillion of dino's galore. We were greeted upon entry by Dino Expert Professor Terry Dactile. He was holding a baby dino named Daisy, my kids even got to pet this lively beast. Before leaving walked into the Rodeo Ricky Jamboree, So funny and interactive, Rodeo did magic then had what he called a huge kids dance party. My youngest threw a tantrum because he didn't want to leave the stage. Oliver the giraffe was the sweetest animal of the day. We even fed him carrots. What a beautiful time and a wonderful place to spend the day.

    My 3 yr old son had a ball, he enjoyed him self so much with his little cousin who was there celebrating her birthday with the family. He went to the pumpkin patch first , this was his first time there . He loved all the pumpkins and enjoy seeing all the other kids there picking pumpkins smilling playing and just having fun. He next spot he went to was the zoo. He loves all kind of animals. This was right up his alley, it was his favorite spot at the zoo. From the camels to the giraff, the cute little pony ride was awesome. The cows , he loved it. Then he was off to the rides. They had a nice little carousel he had fun on. He didn't want to get off the ride. Especially the little giraff ride. The food was kid friendly pizza and french fries, nuggets etc. Me and my wife would definitely take him back here in the future. Great place for kids especially if they are toddler's for there first zoo experience or pumpkin patch experience . This farm will make lifetime of memories for the family.

    Giraffe feeding!

    Ask the Community - White Post Farms

    Is it worth to bring kids to see Santa ? Is there anything else to do or see. We are coming all the way from Southshore? Are any animals out to be seen?

    yes I believe your kids will love it.besides the baby giraffe there are plenty of more animals to look at and pet.

    Are there real bathrooms or port-a-potties? I'm 8.5 months pregnant, and if I have to use one of those things, I would rather just pop a squat on the ground!

    There are real bathrooms!

    Has anyone had a birthday party when it rained?

    Yes it rained quite hard during our son's party but thankfully a good portion of the petting zoo area is covered so everything went just fine. The party rooms are inside and they can even do the pony rides inside as well.

    Do you know if 1 year olds pay and if babies under 1 pay?

    Babies under 1 are free!

    Do they make or sell apple cider donuts?

    Yes

    Do you still have to pay for admission if you're there to attend a birthday party?

    Not if the inviter paid for the space. If you've been invited then bring a gift or yourself. You'll be fine.

    Are there places to sit along farm? I want to bring grandparents but need to know if there are "resting" spots. Thanks!!

    Yes, Danielle I believe there are.

After checking in at the ticket booth and informing the attendant we were here for the Capybaras with babies encounter at 1:15pm, we started to explore Long Island Game Farm which is home to many exciting, exotic, and local species. We saw a tortoise, alpacas, llamas, miniature donkeys, deers, sheep, goats, cockatoo, camels, emus, and so much more. These animals have been rescued, rehabilitated, or re-homed. The capybara encounter includes general admission to Long Island Game Farm. I had booked the encounter online about a month ago for $100. The tickets sell out quickly. About 1:15pm, we headed to the capybara area and was greeted by the zoo owner's daughter. She gave us some instructions and opened the gate for us to meet the capybaras. We were able to feed them carrots and lettuce and pet them. There were 2 older capybaras and a few younger ones. I took many photos with them and they are so adorable. The capybaras were walking around or in the pool. The zoo owner's daughter was available to answer any of our questions and was very friendly. The encounter finished about 1:50pm. Long Island Game Farm is such a fun family friendly place and I would definitely be back to visit the animals. Included in admission, we got to be so close with the deers and goats. It is located in Manorville, NY and a bit of a far drive from Queens/Nassau, but definitely worth it.

I definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area or just looking for a fun day out with your family or friends. I also heard they recently have new capybara babies.

They use dynamic pricing for tickets. We went on a Saturday around 1pm and tickets were $50 for each adult and parking was $22 per car. Some of the exhibits also have an added charge. So if you don't have a membership, it can add up very quickly. You'll do a ton of walking, so definitely wear comfortable shoes. Most of the paths are paved and it's super stroller friendly. Much of the park is organized by geography. We saw tigers, snow leopards, bison, giraffes, komodo dragons, swans, and a ton more. Though it was busy, the exhibits felt pretty accessible and it was easy to catch a view of the animals without a long wait. They have a few concession areas throughout, but options are pretty limited so I'd eat elsewhere. There's also a carousel, monorail, and shuttle. There's a nice view of the Bronx River on one side with a waterfall. Great for families and kids. You can see everything in one day, but it definitely requires several hours.

For a zoo in suburban New Jersey, this one was truly impressive and would surpass most expectations. They had a wide range of creatures across various species and even interactive opportunities, like feeding lettuce to giraffes and riding on a carousel. Their train ride only went through a small part of the animal park, but also took you by a neighboring lake, which was beautiful and part of the larger, surrounding South Mountain Recreation Complex. It was clearly a favorite with children and adults alike, as acted a reprieve from navigating the zoo on foot, which could be exhausting in warmer months (lots of hills and little shade) and brutal in cooler months. There were various food carts and a very nice restaurant on-site, though we did not try any of them. Their membership passes were an affordable option for parents that planned on frequent visits, and the parking was free, so there certainly were economical ways to visit. I would recommend the Turtle Back Zoo for a fun and engaging way to spend a family-friendly afternoon. Watching the monkeys swinging about in their habitat was a particularly amusing highlight.
