We stumbled across it recently, and it was honestly one of the best random adventures we've had in a long time. We were back within 2 days with the rest of the fam to keep the fun in the sun going. I couldn't believe how much there was to do for the price! If you arrive before noon, it's just $5 for a day pass ($10 after noon), and the kids can easily spend hours there. Animals to pet (both in enclosures and free roaming!) Berry picking (bring a bucket!) Nature trail Multiple play areas Bounce house Water features to cool off in What really made it special, though, was the owner. She is one of the kindest people we've met. She even keeps clean swimsuits and towels in the shop that families can borrow for free if their little ones unexpectedly want to play in the water. You can tell this place is run with so much heart, and I truly hope they get the recognition and support they deserve. If you're looking for an affordable summer adventure, this is it. We had an absolute blast, and we'll definitely be back! Bonus!- We used the berries we picked to make some homemade jam when we got home. Thank you again!

We only had 45-mins left in our time in this area as we had a family thing to go to. So we went through this park rather quickly. But even so, I have a lots and lots of pictures. Flowers in different shades of reds, oranges, pinks, purples, yellows and white against the green lush trees, leaves and ground covering. Well marked gravel paths, plenty of seating, a large open grassy area of family picnics and space for children to run around. Our time here was well spent. And you, I had to stop back in to the gift shop and pick up a magnet. We didn't see many staff members including the groundskeepers but the cashier at the gift shop was friendly and helpful. Free parking and entry fee into this botanical park is a reasonable $12 per adult, no military discount, there is senior and children discounts available. Highly recommend if you're in the Federal Way area.

I found this botanical garden out of chance on a Sunday afternoon because my family wanted…read moresomewhere to walk around. Anyway, I didn't know this garden was located in the empty Weyerhaeuser building area. You should know that the garden is divided into two sections: the bonsai section is 100% donation. The other side, which contains all the Rhododendron plants, requires admission fees. I visited the garden expecting it to fully bloom in different color schemes like the Botanical Garden at the UW area, but everything was in green color. My husband mentioned that we'd need to revisit this garden but in the spring time, when the flowers would fully bloom then. Check out my photos for the garden view. I enjoyed the Bonsai section because we got to see the carpentry art from a dude, who basically built everything from wood sticks. The exhibit was cool to look at, in addition to the Bonsai tree collection displays. Now, I want a Bonsai tree myself!

It was quite busy and workers were running around helping everyone. I experienced no rudeness but could tell it was a little stressful on them, especially inside the store. But we were patient considering the service they were providing and this time of year and all the shoppers there. I really liked how they carried our trees out for us, marked them, shook them, and wrapped them up for us. I was appreciative of their service but knew I had to have a little patience with this event as it had a little bit of a "Black Friday" vibe to it. 2025: We are going back again today 11/29/2025.

Finding the farm was pretty easy and there is plenty of parking. I believe we got a little bit of a discounted group rate for our tickets, but even without the discount it's a fair price for all that is offered here. Our field trip guide was great (and patient) with a group of rambunctious 4/5 year olds. We were able to tour the whole farm and ended with a fun educational moment featuring floating pumpkins. The kids had a blast here - hard not to, as this patch is mostly just for kids! There's a really fun playground area with lots to do. Outside of that there are also animals to see and pet - they even took out some kittens for the kids to pet (and they're up for adoption!) There's also an indoor play spot with a corn pit, slide, excavation station, etc. And of course they have wagon rides around the patch which was a hit! They also have a little food stand with concession type food that smelled good, along with pies, donuts, and a coffee stand. Overall this was a great first trip here and we would definitely return with the family considering how kid-friendly it is!

A huge selection of Douglas, Grand, and Noble Fir trees awaited us! We picked out our favorite one, an 8' beauty full and ready to hang our ornaments. The owners couldn't have been more pleasant, and were extremely helpful in giving us the layout of their farm. Pleanty of parking, clean and a true hometown feel. The best holiday experience for finding that perfect Christmas tree! The prices were fabulous, we spent a mere $20 for what we consider the best tree we've found in years. My wife and I support local businesses, and for the Holiday season, could NOT have made a better choice. Still looking for your perfect tree? Look no further!! Merry Christmas to all!!
