Y Worry Farm is definitely the second group. We went on a beautiful October day with our 3-year-old, and it was less than 30 minutes from downtown DC. We loved it: beautiful pumpkin patch, lots of folks but didn't feel crowded, a fun corn maze, and a real "farm stand" feel to it. Definitely recommended for folks with little kids who don't want the craziness of some other spots. No admission fee (for some other places this can be $25 per person!), so you don't feel like you need to stay for hours and hours, and everything was reasonably priced. Great family fun.

My wife and I visited Montpelier Farms during their fall festival and had a great time. We don't…read morehave kids, and while there's obviously plenty here geared toward families, there was a lot for us to enjoy as adults. We ate some of their delicious, fresh donuts, browsed their store (and purchased several jams, and treats), shot paintballs, went on the hayride, and checked out all the barn animals. We arrived early, which I highly recommend. Parking was a breeze and we didn't have to deal with long lines. By the time we left there were cars and people everywhere. Being early is definitely the move. My wife also tried two of their cider drinks and loved them. They were a little too sweet for me, but definitely worth trying if sweet drinks are your thing. The area where they serve the cider also has a beautiful view looking down toward the corn maze, which was a nice place to stop and take everything in and take afew photos. Overall, we had a really fun fall day here. You definitely don't need to have kids to enjoy yourself. It's well worth a visit, and I'd happily go back.

We finally made it to Montpelier Farms for some fall family fun, and I have mixed feelings about…read morethis one. Customer Service-Everyone was pleasant, greeted us, etc. Food Unfortunately, the kettle corn was so disappointing. We were looking forward to that fresh, sweet-and-salty kettle corn you expect at a fall festival farm, but mine had a burnt taste that made it hard to enjoy and eventually got disposed of. It also wasn't helpful that I heard on the walkie-talkie an employee mention that the popcorn area smelled burnt and called over a manager for assistance. Apple Cider Donuts-We heard the hype, so naturally we had to try, and they weren't worth the hype; they simply didn't leave me wanting another one. Activities-A couple of options for families to enjoy, such as crafts, 2 playgrounds, bowling, basketball, a corn pit, a jumping pad, and my favorite and the highlight of our visit, the HAY RIDE. Value-$70 bucks for a family of three!! It's super expensive!!! Can we talk about those TURKEYS? I was truly not prepared for how huge they were.

There is a small gift shop and a cute cat in sweater that is free to pet, although they do charge $20/hour to pet the bald cat. There are other animals there (goats, horses) and I think it costs more to cuddle/pet those animals. Be warned - this is a small cow pasture, so expect mud I don't know what a fair price is, but these seems decent Kind of a schlep to get there The bathroom is in their house!

I finally got to come to this fair, and I couldn't help but compare it to the MoCo Fair, which I've…read morebeen to twice. Immediate comparisons... it's sooooo much smaller! They had more rides than meets the eye, but the space and food options were noticeably far less. But unlike MoCo's $20, parking is free. And they kept it PG and had a live go-go band... gotta love that! They are next to an equestrian center, so sometimes you can smell manure, but that's just nature haha. It was like $7 to get in as an adult, and the unlimited ride wristbands are better for individuals than tickets (if you like rides). It was only around for a weekend, so for anyone seeing this... well, you'll have to wait until next year haha. If you're around, definitely go. The free parking is a huge perk!

However, the line to get in was wayyy too long and moved wayyy too slow. All that police presence and metal detectors did not yield enough speed nor efficiency. Too many misguided youth repeatedly tried to punk us with the line hopping butttt, they met the right Auntie today. One "bruh" had the audacity to TRY to scream on us, "What are you mad for, we're all gonna get in." I said, "Yeah, but we've been waiting for over an hour and how dare you think you're gonna get in BEFORE us. You better go to the back of the line and wait, like we did." VERY LITTLE to brag about once we finally got in. Inflation has taken the fun outta everything. $5-$7 entrance fee, $10 for 3 darts, $10 per ride ... utterly ridiculous. The Sankofa Mobile Museum was amazing ... guaranteed not enough people experienced it. The live band was AMAZING (the singing not so much) but most def two thumbs up for the band. I only saw 2-3 vendors that were NOT peddling home repairs, gutters, windows, roofs. *Sigh* The wine and beer bar was a welcome addition (although the $9 kiddie cup of Sauvignon Blanc I had was disgusting.) The petting zoo was a joke. Besides the 2 ginormous rabbits and the adorable baby goats, there was only one baby camel, one baby kangaroo, and one pig. Besides the prices, I have no other complaints about the food. It was typical carnival food and we appreciated that. Not sure why they would have food trucks there ... funnel cakes, corn dogs, turkey legs, hot dogs, cotton candy, ice cream, fries, fries and more fries and HUGE lemonades are the BEST! Woke up to a flood of posts and reels about the chaos that ensued after we left. Not surprised. I knew we left at the right time. We came, we saw, we conquered and we declare, PGC Fair ain't gotta worry about us ever again.

This winery deserves all the awards and promotion that I've seen all socials .... However, when you know a major dmv social group (dmvdoes ) is hosting an event of 40+ people why is only 1 staff member working the whole night.? Our event experience (paid ) came with a glass of wine for all our guests. The wine was just put on a table without any explanation of the wine , grapes, or legacy. I brought several things for a raffle including the mayor bottle of wine , 2 tastings, and a wine flight for myself. There was no education or discussion about wine. Next, I ordered food and drinks before our event started and I didn't get my food until an hour after I arrived. Next , the suya was so tough I almost choked on a piece of it. The rice was decent but not a winner for me. Lastly, parking is limited to street parking or an outdoor parking lot up the street. It's a cute place to have a social event or a laid back wine meetup but definitely need more staff, wine education for visitors, and better food options.
