They have a wide variety of animals, including goats, cows, horses, alpacas, peacocks, and ducks. The grounds are well-maintained and the facilities are clean. For groups, there is a covered pavilion with BBQ grills and picnic tables, as well as a playground for children. There is also a vending machine area located by the welcome center. It was not crowded and served as a great way to decompress in nature. I highly recommend visiting this hidden gem.

You could easily spend $100 here if you try every vendor - and that's just the food trucks! The staff at the ticket tents were absolutely lovely. There's a lot of entertainment for kids throughout the day which is great if you need to keep the little ones entertained. I came with my husband and we shared three dishes. I was hoping to see more cultures in the community represented, but sadly this was not the case. There are some amazing food trucks in the HRVA area, so I was excited for this event, but a little disappointed that certain trucks, for example, representing "Latin" food included more American classics like hot dogs and cheese burgers, than actual Latin food. Not impressed. The lumpia from Lorma's kitchenette was a great appetizer and a tasty gateway to be ready to try signature items from each food truck. 5 pieces of lumpia for $6 is pretty fair, and they tasted good - win! We tried the lamb gyro and dolmades from The Grapevine Italian & Greek food truck which was pretty decent! The dolmades were very oily but tasted great, as did the fresh tzatziki to dunk the pita bread in. The gyro wasn't bad, I've had better, but $17 for 2 items was pretty steep.

Alcohol and Cinco de Mayo on the same day !!! Why of course it's a must !!!! Oh yeah !!!…read moreThe 7th Annual Craft Beer Festival was represented well with 23 different breweries from all over Virginia, each bringing 2-3, beers and ciders. As you went from tent to tent enjoying the different beers and ciders in your new free glass that was given to you at the entrance. You were being entertained by "Hey Hey Hooligan " a great band that played many favorites and some originals of their own. Food trucks were also available for your eating pleasure. My choice was ! ARROZ ! Choices of Avocado, Organic Steak, Organic Chicken in a bowl, burrito, or salad. Delicious !!! Sly Clyde Ciderworks had two ciders that were great ( Submersive, Cut & Run ) Submersive (Apple Cider) was by far my favorite Though it rained on and off later in the afternoon, the beer festival continued to be a success, and from what I was told it keeps getting bigger year after year. Looking forward to next years event with good drinks, good food, and great friends !!! Cheers !!!

"Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world"…read moreKaiser Wilhelm Me, this woman loves beer! I was blessed by the Yelp gods and was chosen for a free ticket to 7th Annual, Mariners' Craft Beer Festival last Sunday. The event is held in Newport News at The Mariners' Museum and Park. This was my first time attending and didnt know what to really expect. Upon entry, you receive a wrist band and sample glass. The event featured over 21+ beer and Cider vendors from all around Virginia. Was a great way to try some regional beers without even leaving the Hampton Roads area! I even ran into my favorite fellow Yelper, Dago! Surprisingly my favorite and most unique tasting of the day was cider and not beer. My top favorite was from Larry's Lemonade. They offered an original and pink. The two mixed together was SO good and sneaky because it's just like regular lemonade but with alcohol! Others favorite ciders were from Sly Clyde Ciderworks (Submersive) and Bold Rocks (Blackberry). Most all vendors we happy to inform you on their beers/ciders and offer a sticker for keeps. In addition to beverage tasting there was a live band, delish food trucks and plenty of prime people watching. Overall this was an awesome event that I was happy to have gotten to experience. Cheers!

The Williamsburg Greek Festival is the best Greek Festival I have attended. Spanning 3 days…read more(Fri-Sun), I arrived about 11am Saturday, and was awestruck by the beauty of the church building. Going indoors to the Hellenic Center, I was warmly greeted, and was awestruck (again) by the gorgeous jewelry and other items for sale. I'll check them out later. Then into the large hall which was set up with a few dozen circular dining tables, and perhaps a dozen rectangular serving tables with chafing dishes on the perimeter, plus a stage on one side of the hall. Oh, where to start? I grabbed a tray, and ambled from one table to another, grabbing a Greek Salad, Greek Fries, Spanakopita, and Souvlaki with Rice. And a can of American Coke. As I enjoyed my lunch, the hall filled up more patrons and I realized I no longer had a good view of the stage. So I moved to a better table, and began to make notes: Greek Fries ($2): Not much different from French Fries; I ate every one. Greek Salad, $4: A very good Salad for the price, it comprised Lettuce, adequate Feta, Red Onions, Cukes, exactly 3 Kalamata Olives, with pits, and 3 Grape Tomatoes. And a cup of Greek Vinaigrette. I like the way the Cukes are sliced into spears instead of medallions. The Slouvaki with Rice ($10) was quite good. It would have been better if I had noticed the cups of Yogurt available in the serving line. But it was still quite good and I enjoyed every bite. I set aside the Spanakopita for later. Then a lot of activity on the stage, dancers getting into their position and the "DJ" getting into his. This is my only complaint about WGF. The acoustics, to use a technical term, suck! I could not understand the announcer, and the fidelity of the recorded music was dismal. Looking around, it seemed like the ceiling comprised acoustic tiles, so I'm not sure what steps need to be taken to improve the sound. The dancers, in three separate troupes, were very entertaining, especially the younger ones. I kept hoping for the music & dance from Zorba the Greek, but it was not to be. After 75-90 minutes, the dancers retired and I left to browse the jewelry vendors in the lobby. Bought 2 items, and came home. I neglected to ask how long the church has been making the festival, but as smooth as it was, I'm sure they've been doing this a few years. I eagerly await the Williamsburg Greek Festival next year. Update: 19.05.19: Eating the Spana at last. The best commercial Spanakopita in memory. (Not as good as my own (recipe from Moosewood) but still quite good.

This place made me want to see The Emperor's New Groove immediately!! So many Kuzcos!!! But don't worry, no sign of Yzma in here!! Location note: off Rt. 60, you'll see a little blue sign heading to an industrial park... the shop is in suite #201! Even though they are the "spitting" images of their llama cousins, these "cud-dly" creatures are a breed unto themselves! I filled my basket with cute handmade keychains, pens, socks and finger puppets! The owners and staff were so helpful, communicative and friendly. The prices of alpaca wool is a tad higher but not for the exquisite quality. Yet this store won't fleece you of your wallet! Since we just happened upon this cozy place you chance, we didn't get to tour the farm because there's a tour bus that you have to sign up for ahead of time! I "wool" stop at nothing to come back and visit again! The owner said to call for reservations, no pro-llama! Now that's shear joy!
