There are lots of activities: various staged areas for photos, games, bubbles, food, sweets, and much more! The flowers were beautiful and the view of the mountains in the background was amazing!

I will visit again...maybe in the fall for their corn maze.

While planning our trip to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area, we came across this opportunity, and I…read morewas adamant that we must do it! :) The location is a bit off the beaten path - approximately a 45 minute drive from Pigeon Forge. Upon arrival, the llamas and two alpacas were ready to socialize. We brought some oatmeal cookies for them to snack on. (See the website for their favorite snacks.) It was so much fun to give them treats, pet them, and start to learn their personalities. When we were ready to hike, we were able to choose which llama to walk with. Oscar was my hiking companion, and my husband took Walker. We had about 8-10 total hiking. Even though it started raining, we still had a great time. The llamas graze along the trail, so this is not a fast-paced hike. Steve, the owner of the farm and our guide, shared stories and information along the trail. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking them out. I haven't stopped talking about it since we did it, and I love going back and looking through my pictures. That's the sign of a great experience!

All the animals are very docile and can easily eat from your hand. A lot of them are big cuddle babies according to the staff.The feed bucket is a good size to feed all the animals. The staff is good at rotating the animals so you get a chance to feed them all They also have a walk in area to see animals, a highland cow session you can book, a zip line and a self controlled mountain coaster. The highlight for me was Dozer the sweet highland cow and the baby alpaca. Thanks Skyland Ranch for the fun morning

There were 4 people in our group. it was $35 per person for the main area + a haunted attraction. The board at the checkout said that the hayride was included in the general area price so we only added 1 haunted attraction. the "hayride" we paid for apparently ended hours earlier, but the lady went ahead and sold us that ticket. 2: The $25 area with the petting zoo, bounce things, food, etc was all but closed. no one working. everything was dark. and this was 8pm on the Friday before Halloween, literal primetime for this type of venue. absolute waste of money. 3: the haunted hayride we finally went back and got tickets for (an additional $10 wristband per person ) was absolute trash. it was a tour of Walmart inflatable decorations. no actors, no scares. lame AF. 0/10 4: I absolutely do not recommend this for anyone. it is not what you are expecting and is a serious ripoff.

As great as the maze was the, the younger kids had more fun on the in ground trampoline, petting zoo, sitting on the tractors for pictures, the really cool rustic playground, ect. The kids will not run out of things to do. You can purchase simple lunches like hotdogs and burgers but they have outdoor grills so you can bring you own food. The people around us were roasting smores. The vibe was so upbeat and easy going. It is worth a drive from the tourist areas. There is everything down home and nothing commercial, as grand as it is. For $11. each, the kids can do anything they want, as long as they want and pick their own pumpkin. Getting close to Halloween, the pumpkins were a little picked over. But, this place is awesome. No price gouging. It is about 15 minutes from the heart of Pigeon Forge where Magic Quest is. Their facebook page gives more information than their website, along with pictures and videos: https://www.facebook.com/ballingerfarm/ It may be better to call ahead. We were prepared but didn't know they were only accepting cash and check at the time. It sounded like a temporary thing. Luckily, we had money on us. It could have been a bummer for those who didn't know. But, overall, there are not enough nice things to say about Ballinger Farm Corn Maze.

Going in with the deer is a fun experience - kinda overwhelming because they can get a little pushy. The pony ride was the highlight.
