We had a wonderful family day at Carma Farms! It's one of the most affordable family-friendly…read moreattractions we've visited, with admission at only $2 per person and reasonably priced animal feed buckets. Our toddler loved feeding the goats, sheep, cows, and chickens, and the sand play area kept her entertained for even longer. The farm is well laid out with plenty of shaded areas, which made walking around comfortable on a warm day. We also enjoyed browsing the farm market and picking up some fresh local products before heading home. The cute farm theme and friendly atmosphere made for a fun and memorable outing. The only thing we would love to see added in the future is a small food and drink stand, as we could have easily spent a few more hours there. Overall, a great value for families with young children, and we'll definitely be back!

For about $7 you can purchase a bucket of corn and carrots to feed them!! So fun! Small enough space that it is easy to bring toddlers to walk through the site without worrying about taking a stroller through. Some sweet and savory treats for purchase on site as well. They have yummy tarts and pies and even some deli meats!

I have been to this farm for blueberry picking every single year for 10 years. Every time was all…read moregood experience except this year. This year I went bit early and I was expecting great blueberries as it's the third day after they opened. Unfortunately, I bought 3 buckets and went in the farm with entrance fee of $5.30, and found the blueberries quality is not good as before. There's a lot of blueberries, but with no taste, no sweetness, they were just taste like water. So I filled two of my buckets, and decided not to fill the third one as the quality was not what I expected as I know how it was before. I went to the register, asked for a refund for the third unused bucket, and they told me it's non-refundable. The on-site manager was also very rude saying if I am not taking the options that he offered(which all not fair and not matching the money I have paid for), he would ask me to leave and never welcomed back. As that threatening, my friend took the for the reschedule even she is not available to come, and I have emailed their owner, no one replied. BTW, THERE IS NO POLICY ON THEIR WEBSITE SAYING NO REFUND FOR UNFILLED BUCKET DUE TO POOR QUALITY OF THE BLUEBERRIES! Also, NO ONE TOLD YOU THERE'S NO REFUND WHEN YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE BUCKET AND ENTRANCE FEE. NO SIGNS AT THE REGISTER AS WELL.

My best friend lives in Port Hope Canada two years ago for her birthday I bought her a gift…read morecertificate which she apparently never used. Lame. Fast Forward to my visit a couple of weeks ago. This was probably the funnest thing I did on my trip to Canada (well Duran Duran was pretty awesome too). It was hot as hell so the yoga was great because it was in the shade if you're going to do goat yoga plan on getting dirty. The goats poop on your mats and eat your hair but it's all worth it. Oh there's some super cuddly kids in there! The yoga was definitely the easiest yoga I've done because it was at your own pace we couldn't really hear the instructor so we kind of tried to follow along with people that work close to us that we watched. They asked that you bring a matt, which we didn't even think of. Luckilyish they had some spare mats and I'm glad I didn't bring my matt because they were filthy afterwards... Like with poop, dirt, and grass. There is a store and a goat Cafe. I heard so many good things about the goat Cafe but apparently they were out of everything even though we were at the beginning of the day. There were only 3 menu items available. I picked the pulled pork. It was so sweet it was inedible I took a bite and I couldn't eat anymore I actually returned it to the guy uneaten. He didn't even ask if I wanted a box, which I would have told him no it's horrible. So I don't recommend eating at the cafe at all. I did pick up a couple of cookies and goodies and they were dry and flavorless. The goat cheese was amazing!! I highly recommend picking up some goat cheese especially the gouda the gouda is good. They also have some really good grapefruit mint soda that I loved. He asked the lady what a favorite is and she says the goat fudge which I ate the other night and it was mediocre at best. On the website you can pick between yoga and a schmergel. Well if you're like me I was like what the hell is a shmurgle. It's where you walk around the farm with either goats or an alpaca pack. They also have overnight stays available we did consider it but then we thought oh no what if the goats scream... never mind. My friend never used her gift certificate because she wants to go do an alpaca shmurgle so she'll be back.

Great walking paths. Icelandic horses. Goats of course. Friendly staff…read more Alpacas, exotic chicken and baby piggy's

It gets better every year here!…read more This year we enjoyed another great afternoon here while the weather continued this heat wave. Admission changed to $10 a person and the 10 or 20 lb bags with no premium prices. They added a new corn maze in a new spot, parking lots are centralised and a tractor will take you to the furthest hills for Gala & HoneyCrisp. The tractor runs often and there's lots of space to bring wagons and strollers. The farm obstacle run in next to a corn kernel play area, shielded by a converted silo. The kids had a blast in here! Digging with sand toys and lots of space to swim in the corn kernels. I'm sure all parents loved it wasn't dirty like sand but just corn dust. The cafe kiosk is next to the kids play area so one can enjoy hot cider($3), cider donuts or other pastries while the kids play. There lots of big old trees to give shade to take a break from this hot afternoon. Lots of portapotty around and wash sinks at the play area, parking lot and top of the picking hill. The corn maze is themed for Minecraft, so hay bales or wooden crates and painted and stacked for photo ops. Lots of pumpkins decorations and photo ops. There's a bouncy farm animal toy penned off for kids to bounce and ride on. Really creative idea and such fun watching them all looking like they're bucking broncos. More animals added onto the farm, llamas, sheep and these cute shaggy cattle. Tip: save your apple core or fallen apples from the picking orchard to feed the animals at the end, they really do appreciate it! It might be further for some but it's an easy, scenic afternoon drive. I love how it's busy but not crowded like the ones closer to Toronto.

What a treat to be able to visit a sunflower farm so close to the city! There was plenty of space…read morefor parking (free) and the farm was easy to find. Though initially, they were going to open till Aug 10, the staff member let us know that because peak blossoms were done, they would likely be closing early on the 8th (when we visited) or 9th. I appreicated the thoughtfulness. There are plenty of photo spots here, from tractors to swings. Though the fields closer to the parking lot were starting to look a little bare, the inner fields were still colourful and in full bloom. Really enjoyed their setup, and their price is so reasonable too (only $10!). Based on this year, I think I will come a little earlier in the season next year, but mother nature will do what she does, so we'll see.

We visited this sunflower farm just one day before they closed for the summer season. A lot of the…read moreflowers had already wilted, but there were still plenty of beautiful spots for photos. I appreciated that the staff let us know about this beforehand at the entrance and asked if we still wanted to go in.

'Tis the season to pick up pumpkin! Knox pumpkin farm has so many activities that are perfect for…read morethe whole family. There's a small animal farm where you can see bunnies llamas ponies, turkeys, and donkeys. They were even some piglets! There are pony rides, wagon rides, and of course, pumpkin picking! Every spot at this farm is photo worthy! In the Boo barn, there was a small haunted house. In the food barn, there was your regular hotdogs, but there's also pumpkin curry and some delicious chili. Don't forget to pick up some hot apple cider! There's lots of outdoor seating as well as free parking. I'll definitely be back next year.

Our family of four paid $110.08 for admission (!!!) which included a wagon ride and free pumpkin,…read more(the general admission tickets are $10 less expensive). No one was checking your wristband (aka tickets) to board the wagon though-- wristbands were only checked when you exited the farm. So we essentially paid $40 extra for 4 pumpkins, as anyone could have gotten the wagon ride for free if they wanted. My kids enjoyed the witches lair and seeing the animals. My 3 year old had a quick pony ride for an extra $5, which she loved. The corn "maze" wasn't really a maze at all, and very small. They were all sold out of candy apples and pies by the time we were ready to purchase them. From what I saw, they had sausages/hot dogs, baked goods like rice crispie squares and brownies, cold drinks (pop/water), coffee and hot chocolate. Lots of opportunities for photo ops. All in all, not really impressed for the price we paid. Would be a 4-star review if it were half the price.

Lionel Petting Zoo is only in operation from May until October, which makes sense as it looks like…read morethe whole zoo is outdoors. They have a maximum of 10 people inside at a time (according to their website) however even though we booked a specific time frame, there was pretty clearly more than 10 people inside. Unlike some other zoos we went too, there was no real path to follow. It's basically a giant square with a small square on the inside. The outline of the larger square is filled with fenced in animals, and the inner square has fenced animals as well. Although its understandable they have an admission fee for the upkeep of the animals, I feel it should have included the feed. Other zoos are free admission and only charge for feed (ie. high park) so in terms of value, this is a bit below par. Finally, I would never say the animals are aggressive, however when trying to feed the goats, one of them bit the entire feed bag and ripped it away. As I'm an adult, this is fine as I am agile and athletic, however a small child could have easily gotten injured, so perhaps some more training would suffice.

Went mid August looking for something to do with my son. I though the admission price was kind of…read morepricey ($28 for 5 people), does not matter if you have 3 people, same price for the group and much smaller than I thought. You get to choose time slot and we only got 45 mins before we had to leave which was plenty of time mind you since it was really hot. Extra $5 for a bag of feed to feed the animals. My son enjoyed looking at the animals but I wish the price was per person so I don't have to pay the same amount even if I have a smaller family.
