I'm so in love with the long haired sweet alpaca. The kids loved being here and petting the ones that let us pet them. This was such a lovely experience. Also if your child is 2 and enters for free, you don't get carrots. We will be coming here very often! Absolutely recommend this place. Reservations are made in their website. Thank you for having us!

They have a big outdoor space where you can walk around and do many activities. The corn maze was fun for all us. What I liked the most was petting the animals. My little one has never been close to a goat and at Maylath's he was able to feed one. I would definitely go back next year. We didn't tried the food but they were many vendors and everything smelled delicious. The staff is nice and friendly.

A train for the kids, hayrides for the family to the pumpkin patch with plenty of variety of pumpkins for picking ($1-$8 range). They also have a zip line, peddle carts, bounce houses and a corn maze for a few. Large hay bales in play area for the kids to crawl and explore. Farmers produce, baked goods also on site with the addition of some outside food vendors which are reasonably priced and good eats. If you're looking for a family fall outing put this on your list.

My friend booked the tickets, so I thought we were only feeding goats, but we got a tour of the entire farm and got to interact with a lot of their rescues/residents there. The animals all appeared to be well taken care of and happy, which is the most important part. I 100% recommend buying a ticket and making the trip out to visit. Worth every penny :)

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.

You have to pay just to enter the farm, and then still pay for anything you want to purchase, which made it feel a little overpriced for the experience.

It was a misty day but we were able to luckily enjoyed Apple picking and pumpkin picking. Unfortunately, we didn't know so much would be closed. The goats were great to see but the goat petting area wasn't open without good signage to inform that. The website is a little overwhelming to understand what is open. It is more pricey than I would have thought but I guess you're paying for the experience. Prices of the packaged goods (salsa, jam, etc.) run for minimum $7 and more which is a little high in my opinion. The restaurant attached was good but $15 for 3 tacos, chips, and a soda was a little more for our liking. It was nice to have the option of food there. Recommend finding the right days to go, and it is a large farm but be ready to spend some money.

This spot is kids paradise. I planned most of our day here and my kids still didn't want to leave…read more I typically saw this spot whenever I rode the Strasburg Railroad. We typically would do their Christmas Train, and rarely got back to Lancaster in the warmer months. As soon as I planned my latest summer trip, I knew it had to be on the itinerary. This place has it all from gigantic slides to gold mining sluice areas to a mini kids village that mine couldn't get enough of from the mini vet office to the drive in theater. It was really impressive. From here, you can make your way up the hill where there is a restaurant, a coffee kiosk with a delicious coconut water cold brew (wild!), and plenty of shaded sections with swinging chairs. You'll find paintball, basketball, skee ball, a pedal cart for the family, launching devices. I mean, there is a lot! The place is large so it never felt overly crowded. Come with water bottles. Even with the shaded sections it gets hot. They have water fountains by the bathrooms.

Such a fun farm to take your family. I've been coming here…read moresince my daughter was about 4 years old- she's 14 now. Everyone we come, it does not disappoint. It's such a great time. Buy tickets online- tickets are cheaper. If you go during the week- it's cheaper too! They also have 50% off for active military and veterans, which is a great deal! They have all kinds of games, tug of war ropes, a play area/little town for younger kids, pig races. Some nights they have fireworks or bands. If you come- the corn maze is a must! All types of food vendors like burgers, fries, chicken fingers, ice cream and apple cider donuts. You can spend hours here and not get bored. They also have for pit and picnic table areas you can rent out and they provide logs and sticks so you can roast marshmallows or hotdogs. Definitely recommend this farm.

Red Earth Farm offers the best CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) that I've ever heard of, let…read morealone experienced. Basically, you sign up and pay in advance, and then every week for 23 weeks beginning in June you get delicious, farm fresh produce and, if you like, eggs, fruit, herbs, yoghurt, and cheese. N & I got a half share and an egg share last summer, and this summer we're adding a fruit share as well. A half share gets you 6 items each week and a dozen eggs every other week. The fruit share will provide a selection of fruits every other week as well. Both quality and convenience make Red Earth Farm special. First of all, most CSAs just give you whatever veggies they want. With Red Earth Farm, you go online each week and choose from the produce they're harvesting that week. Second, the food is all so fresh and delicious you won't believe it. You'll be eating your veggies and asking for more. The stuff is about 24 hours out of the fields when it arrives at your pickup location. And the eggs, which come from free range hens on a nearby farm, have the yellowest yolks and the best flavor ever. I've never tasted eggs like these. Seriously, I never believe I could rave about eggs before these eggs. Sign up now! Or keep an eye peeled around this time next year, because they fill up quick.

Best of all, you get to choose what you want out of their offerings. The surprise grab-bag of veggies was always what scared me away from CSAs because I have neither the skills nor the energy for improv cooking. But with this CSA, you can pick your produce for your weekly delivery and still plan your meals ahead of time. I have a partial vegetable share that provides a more-than- AMPLE supply for my husband and I each week. Best of all, I no longer spend an arm and a leg on overpriced veggies at Whole Paycheck, a store that I love, but which has produce prices that are flat-out ridiculous. AND I love that I can support a local family farm in a way that's convenient, nutritious and delicious.
