The full fall farm experience not so far from Toronto. It was my first time doing apple picking,…read morehad tons of fun, and felt like a kid. I got lost in the corn maze, did the tractor ride, picked a bunch of delicious honey crisp and royal gala apples, and selected a high quality pumpkin that was included in the ticket. Everything is well marked, so you know what trees are what and staff is very helpful. I would totally do it again. It needs more places to sit and lunch food available was not great but still a top experience

Highly recommend!

The sunflower walk is really nice, lots of tall sunflowers and some great spots to take pictures. Last year they had art (of minions) interspersed throughout. We also went strawberry picking and they had SO many strawberries. Just rows and rows. They tasted so good too - juicy, sweet, flavourful. Definitely way better than the ones you buy on plastic cartons at the grocery store. You can either pay for one of their baskets (and you can get like a dollar back if you return it), or you can bring your own basket as long as it is labeled with how many Litres it holds. A 2L basket is $14 for you to pick and fill.

We were looking for a sunflower walk that wasn't too far from Toronto, and this fit the bill. It's…read morequite a bumpy ride after turning in from the road since parking is just on soil. When we reached the white tent, the employee asked what we were there for since there's the sunflower walk, picking strawberries and veggies from the farm, and cutting your own bouquets of flowers. For the sunflower walk, she directed us to the hut a little further away, and we could pay there. The walk there was filled with cardboard cutouts with face holes with Toy Story characters. It's currently $5.25 per person, free for those under three years of age, and $3.25 per person if you're cutting flowers on the same day. Paying was easy with a tap of a credit card. The sunflower walk starts at the bales of hay. We saw plenty of bees on the sunflowers and there were many photo opportunities with the Minions from Despicable Me. They were painted as recreations of famous paintings.  We didn't pick our own veggies, but it was interesting to see how they're grown. Some of the veggies that we saw were Swiss chard, kale, zucchini, bell peppers, green onions, leeks, pyo beans, beets, radishes, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and cabbage. Their farm market has these veggies for sale already picked as well as other products like honey, bouquets of flowers, and strawberries.

It's not cheap but the quality is definitely there. We love organic apples since apples are on the dirty dozen list. We love the whole experience of picking our own on an amazing sunny day the staff as super nice, there were lots of apples left to be picked. Parking lot is quite small, I suggest to carpool if you're coming in a larger group. We definitely recommend this farm :) Will be back next year!

It was quite busy on a beautiful weekend so we weren't surprised. The staff was very nice and friendly. They gave us advice for picking, we paid ($16 per person) and went in. There's a tractor you can take out to where the strawberries (10 min walk) and raspberries (6 min walk) are. We opted to walk since it was so beautiful outside. Unfortunately, it really was the end of strawberry season. A lot were burnt by the sun or were too soft, especially on the bottoms. After little luck, we decided to pick raspberries only. The buckets are different so we made sure we filled the correct one. There were a lot more raspberries and we worked hard to fill our buckets. Be careful because the raspberry bushes have thorns! We also stopped by the shop on the way out. We'll be back for apple season.

I've been coming to Coulter Farms since I was a kid when my Grandma, bless her soul would bring me…read moreand my 5 cousins, don't know how she did it, but such sweet memories they are. This summer me and one of my cousins and our husbands came back to relive our memories, and the place was just how I remembered. Very friendly staff and service. There is a phone number on their website to call which gives up to date directions in terms of what is available and when and where which is super convenient. At the farm they have quart and pint containers, bags and trays for you to use as you go out and pick. Their fields are nice and easy to find. The fruit is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The trouble is the timing, anyone who has picked before knows there is a small window. Strawberries usually come near the end of June and then cherries, blueberries and raspberries quickly follow. Blink and you might miss it, as soon as the end of the school year approaches, use the phone number so that you don't! Coulters seems to have fair pricing for their fruit. Berries all are purchased by pint or quart, whereas cherries are purchased by pound. While they are delicious and worth every penny, be aware the cherries will add up quickly, they weigh more than you think! If you're looking for a fun day, rewarding when you bring home the spoils, check out Coulter farms. Remember to catch them at the end of June, and bring some sunscreen and water, it gets hot out there!

I went again a few more times since my last review and this time I took a tour with a tour guide…read moreand was able to learn more information about Little Canada, which I wouldn't have learned if I was going myself. THe Tour is about 90 minutes long and was very informative and well organised. I had Rory as my guide. Highly recommend to do a tour with a guide and then wander back to the places you feel like revisiting again. I would say to appreciate Little Canada, please put aside at least 3 hours minimum to enjoy the whole area as there is a lot of stuffs to see. I also noticed they update and some changes to the decors for each area, leading me to find something new each time I visit. I ended up bumping with the creator or this place, Mr. Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer. It was the first time I ever bumped into him after visiting so many times. The staff was quite surprised to see him on site on a Saturday. I told him it really an honour to meet him in person and I told him how happy I was to visit Little Canada. I noticed that Sundays are not as a busy during Winter. Saturday was much more busier, with lots more people and even school visits. I noticed on my last visit, there was no more spring water station. I don't know if it is permanent or not. Their coat check was also not working. Instead, they had racks sitting outside at the entrance though the coat check is free of charge. I highly recommend to get an individual pass or a family pass, especially if you are a fan of miniatures. I feel I always discover something new on each visit. Good for a year with unlimited visits and also 10% discount in the gift shop. It also gives a 25% discount each time for your visitors. If not buying a pass, pre-purchase your ticket online also saves up to $4 on admission. It costs much more to purchase admission on site.

We visited Downey's Farm over the weekend and had so much fun. A few points you want to consider…read morebefore visiting: first, you are required to purchase the admission tickets online and second, early mornings are the best time to visit as it gets very busy 11am onwards and there would be parking issues and even lineups at the entrance. The farm has so many fun activities for kids and families, from bouncy pumpkin, zip line, wagon ride, feeding the animals, etc. There are food vendors available for cold refreshments, pop corn, cheeseburgers, poutine and chicken burgers/fingers. You can purchase lunch and refreshments 11am-4pm, but pip corn station is open all day long. You can also purchase farm products like honey, pies, apple ciders, picked apples from the market. You can also purchase pumpkin without requiring the admission ticket.
