This was a "Girls Day", one of many, but this was one of our favorites for sure!! Please go visit if you love animals!

We were looking online at 'activity' farms (animal husbandry-horseback riding-bees, etc) in the…read morelocal area and came upon the Rose Bridge Farm. Rose Bridge is a sanctuary and working farm on land once owned by William Penn. Since 2013, the farm has become a 'forever home' for over 300 animals. Many of the animals are rescues from dairy farms, livestock auctions or other scenarios where they were at risk. They have several different activities, we opted for the Farm Fest, which combined several of the activities. The Farm Fest includes a mini farm animal husbandry tour, baby animal cuddling time, hands on craft activity, a beverage bar and an outdoor fire pit. It lasts about 2 hours. There were many parents there with children, but also adults like us by themselves. There are two times - 4-6 and 6:30-8:30. We went on the 4:00 tour. It was great! It was very interesting hearing how the animals came to the farm - it was so heartwarming to hear the stories of saving so many animals. However, I wasn't expecting the 'cuddling time' to be so much fun. We started with the goats - so friendly! They were nuzzling and 'pawing' us - I sat down and several came to me and wanted to be rubbed or held. I even had an opportunity to feed a baby goat its milk bottle! We interacted with pigs, sheep, a beautiful thoroughbred horse and a donkey! It was a very special experience! Afterwards we all went to a large barn and made crafts - specifically little planters we decorated, added dirt and seeds (large selection of flowers and vegetables seeds) to take home as a little souvenir. We had a dinner reservation so we left before the fire pit activity. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be with these farm animals and to support such a worthwhile project.

My friends and I recently visited this orchard for an apple picking experience and we had the time…read moreof our lives!! This orchard was one of the last ones to still have apple picking available in the first week of November which we were super grateful for. Since most of the remaining apples were on the top of the trees they were thoughtful enough to provide ladders across the orchard which was support useful and made our experience fun and enjoyable. The instructions were very simple and were had the best time enjoying ourselves in the orchard. The apples were absolutely delicious and we also bought other stuff in their store. The apple cider was delicious and so were the Donuts. The donuts were not too greasy and fried perfectly unlike a lot of other places which I absolutely loved. I grabbed a bag for my friend who also loved the donuts so much!! One thing I would love to see here is maybe some sort of savory or fresh food options, like a crepe station or panini situation. I would have loved to sit outside in the picnic tables and have a sandwich. After a whole day of apple picking that is probably the only thing that will push this 5 star experience over the top. If you are looking for a fun, family friendly outdoor activity, please come here!!

Went to the spring car show. This is my 3 rd year going. They get lots of old and classic cars and…read morethey do a flea market as well. They have a pizza truck that serves very good personal pies. The car show gets a few hundred cars. If you want to enter your car it's $20 cash at the gate. They give you a small tin plaque and a registration card for your window. Since my car isn't winning any awards I don't stay till 3 pm to await the judges choices. My car is nice, but not prize winning nice but that's ok. It's a fun few hours. It got too hot by noon to stay longer. Weather in early May is tricky. Highly recommend checking out the car show. The general store on the grounds is huge. Bought lots of stuff to take home.

There's also a a market that sells freshly grown fruits, vegetables and local made goods. There's also a garden and gift shop selling a lot of the local artisan products. Lots of parking available around the main entrance area. We went early in the morning around 10am. We spent most of the first few hours walking around the zoo that had a huge chicken range, duck pond, cow, goats, sheep and horses. There are vending machine to buy corns to feed the animals. We had to get our own quarters as the coin exchange machine was broken. Around the noon we head to the Linvilla Grill. They had some good pizza and chicken tenders. There were few outdoor benched to dine. Price was little steep. The freshly squeezed lemonade was outrageous. They make the whole thing by grinding lemon right in front and put it in a huge plastic 32 oz jar. It is so worth for $8. We also bought some peaches and cooking sauces from the market. Cash is preferred, for credit card they charge fee at the market checkout.

What a fun time the annual Applefest is! This year, the $5pp admission got us kid games, live…read moremusic, hayrides, candle dipping, face painting, free samples of apple butter and apple cider (that we got to help make), and access to farm animals (cows, sheep, donkeys, ducks, chickens, goats, and a pig). For a reasonable price, there were two food trucks (cheesesteaks, meatball sandwiches, hot roast pork, chicken nuggets, fries, etc), cupcakes, jars of locally made apple butter and honey, plus fundraiser table with caramel sauced apple slices. I was SO impressed with the volunteers. They were all very professional and polite. It was all teens hosting the kids' games, and they were amazing kids; all cheerful, competent, proactive individuals working to make a very fun experience for those younger. Everything ran super smoothly. They had ample volunteers at every post, but they weren't talking to one another or on their phones, they were present and willing/looking to help. I can tell Fox Chase is very experienced with these events because there was a process for each activity, lines were plotted with ropes or signs, everything was well-placed and well-spaced. Volunteers were apprised of every detail for their job, and super well informed. It was just extremely diligently planned. They even had parking at various local lots, and a school but shuttle to get you to/from the farm, all free. Even the police crossing guards at the entrance were plentiful and right on top of their tasks. In addition to having a blast with my kid, I also enjoyed the community. There was so much diversity at this event, I loved it! I heard so many different languages and saw all types of people. It was so fun to join in with such a melting pot of Philly Area peeps. Even the animals were chill and content, and super gentle with and trusting of the kids feeding and patting them. It was a great time! My only suggestions would be for the event to be longer (it was 12-4pm), and for more fall apple offerings, like apple fritters, candy apples, cider donuts, pumpkin bread, caramel popcorn, etc. If the fundraiser table sold those items it would be amazing! Also if there were a table selling apple and pumpkin pies on the way out, I can see them making a mint. People were so reluctant to leave, and wanting to spend money and take things home.

The indoor facility was beautiful & engaging, with separate rooms for active playing, light & sound sensory experiences, and even a meditation room. I went twice in 2 weeks, with different children & adults who had some similar but also some different favorites. I will be back. This is a very, very special place.
