My boyfriend and I decided to make a fall date out of visiting Temple Hall Farm after seeing the…read morebeautiful pumpkin and sunflower photos online. It is a little under an hour from DC, and tickets cost 15 dollars per person. That price includes a pumpkin and as many flowers as you want to take home, which sounded like a great setup for a festive afternoon. When you arrive, they take you on a wagon ride out to the fields. Once you get off, they give you a little cart along with a mini saw and a pruner so you can cut your pumpkin right off the vine. They also point you toward areas marked with orange flags, where pumpkins are supposedly still growing. That part was fun in theory and we were hopeful at first. Unfortunately, once we started searching, the experience went downhill. The pumpkins in the flagged areas were either completely rotting, cracked open, or shriveled. We checked everywhere they recommended and still struggled to find anything worth taking home. It took more than 15 minutes just to find a single pumpkin that was not in a sad state. Honestly, if you do choose to come here, do not even bother walking into the actual fields. There are pumpkins sitting near the entrance that are in far better condition. Grab one of those and save yourself the disappointment. The sunflower situation was even more surprising. Every sunflower was dried out and brown. After seeing so many bright, Instagram-worthy photos online, it was a huge letdown. We were really looking forward to cutting some fresh flowers to bring home, but there were none to be found. Because it is marketed as a family friendly fall destination, we expected more activities too. There was only a slide and a bouncy pad for kids, and not much else. The whole area felt neglected and honestly a bit forgotten. I can only imagine how many parents end up taking home pumpkins that will not last through the week, just so their kids can feel like they found one. There were a few vendors selling snacks. We tried the apple cider, which had good flavor, but it had a fizzy hint that made it seem like it was already starting to ferment. We left feeling disappointed and wishing we had gone somewhere else. The farm has so much potential based on the photos online, but the reality did not match at all. If you are searching for a fun pumpkin picking date or a festive fall atmosphere, I would not recommend Temple Hall Farm. There are definitely better options out there for the same drive and price.

So many things to do, the trampolines are a huge hit with my kids, the sand it amazing, so soft! Love the big slide and playground and the animals are always hanging near the fences (unlike other farms) so you always get a good sighting of them. We've even been lucky enough to come during feeding hours and they let the kids help with the feeding. Ample parking and clean bathrooms, what else can you ask for?

Best part of the park? The art exhibits created by some of Loudoun's finest which are on display near the park's sign. Not sure how they were retrieved but I look forward to seeing our younger generation continue to add to it!

The city has done a fantastic job of upgrading and maintaining this park over the recent few years. The have recently added a Monarch Butterfly viewing area as well as a bike rest station where you can take a bio break. No one wants to have a bio emergency while you're biking. It's situated just off the trail and on the southern edge of the city away from the hustle and bustle of the traffic.

Trails go both ways along the river and aside from the golf course. Due to the tall grass and bushes, recommend wearing long pants and shoes that you don't mind getting dirt/mud on.

I found this lovely public park on a list of the best Northern VA hiking trails for toddlers. And…read moreit was right - the main trails, which snakes along the Potomac, was very easy for my little girl to walk (or skip). Not to mention it's beautiful, even on the foggy morning we paid the park a visit. Just past a clearing, you can climb down to the river and, that morning, the sight of water and sky blending into each other and the entire landscape covered in fog was something out of a storybook (or the set of a horror movie, I guess, depending on how you look at things). After a little exploring and a (very) light hike, we came back to the clearing for a little snack. There are a couple of picnic tables but you'd be just as fine laying out a blanket. The list I mentioned earlier called the park a "best-kept secret" of the area. Being tucked away behind the Lansdowne golf course and a residential neighborhood, I'd say that's true. "Secluded" is another word that seems to be used often to describe the park. Also true and a welcome quality in pandemic times. But while it may not be one of the most well-known parks in the area, it still enjoys quite a few visitors and the parking lot looks like it can fit no more than 20 cars at a time. Luckily, everyone we encountered - even on the trail - was masked...and very friendly! We enjoyed this park very much. With a young toddler, the hiking enthusiasts that we are a little limited in where we can go. Happy to add this Riverfront gem to our "will return" list.
