Both my friend and I commented on the gate fee ($10 ahead, $12 at door) when the primary purpose for the fair seemed to be shopping. There were quite a few fabulous local vendors that I loved supporting. I was a little taken back by the amount of MLM booths (Scentsy, Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Tupperware to name a few). There was not much in the way of entertainment other than some music which was back in a theater. No music piping over the loud speakers or anyone wandering around in costume or things I might expect. The food was standard fair food. I had a beef and cheese piroshki which was tasty. My husband had an excellent veal sausage and great sauerkraut from the food stands. Overall a fun community event but not for the door price. It seems like you would want people spending money on the vendors versus at the door. Wish they had a bit more to engage those who weren't just there to shop shop shop.

It is kind of off-putting to have to continually say, "no thanks"... I am not pleased with the cranky people at the gate, who were rude and ridiculous when we tried to get in, demanding we move back and come back later.

It seemed like more play equipment than the last time I was here and I could see it being pretty fun with a group of kids. In fact, someone had a birthday party while we visited and that looked like a nice time. The cows, donkey, camel, sheep, and goats in the barn were super keen on some snacks. My kid was sad the pirate ship wasn't open. She did play a lot with the toys. We stayed about 2-3 hours though our initial pass was about 1 hour. Tried to wash hands a few times at portable setups, and before we left. A few groups brought lunch and ate at picnic tables!

I loved that this facility has food and drinks available. There is a lot of room at the bar to drink and sit as well. There are many beverage options! It has clean bathrooms and that is what makes me happy. After a certain hour it is adults only, and it makes it a good date night option too.

My girlfriend and I attended the Hot Sauce Festival at McMillin Farms over the summer…read more McMillin Farms has acres of free parking. During our visit, there was a few fresh produce products available for purchase such as nectarines, peaches, plums, zucchini, watermelon and corn. Packaged items such as honey and chips were also available. The Hot Sauce Festival was the main attraction of the day so there was a food truck on-site as well. Blistering hot pepper starts of several different varieties could also be purchased for those with green thumbs. Unfortunately, that isn't me. After sampling several fiery hot sauces and marinades it was refreshing to be able to order and consume an ice-cold craft beer from McMillin Farms brewery on-site. Red and white wine is available for those who do not care for beer. Beers were pricey at $8.75 each; however, keep in mind that you are supporting a small and local business. I look forward to attending future events at McMillin Farms.

As a community volunteer, I volunteered at a recently held a car show at McMillin Farm Brewhouse in…read morePuyallup as a fundraiser benefiting our local area veterans. While we appreciated being allowed to use the event space at no charge, unfortunately, the experience had several significant issues that affected both our organizers and their participants/volunteers. The event check-in began at 8:00 AM (with check in at 7 am) and the show ran until 2:00 PM. Despite this, the main entry gates were not opened until 10:00 AM, even at the organizers request to please open it by 7 am. The response was an adamant "NO" . This created a major problem because the directions provided through MapQuest directed attendees to that entrance. Participants arriving for an 8:00 AM event were therefore unable to access the property as expected. While there was a back entrance to said location, there was no signage directing attendees or participants to that particular entry. The organizers were also told that they could not have a food truck providing a free breakfast for their participants because it would compete with the venue's food service. The problem was that there was no breakfast service available to our attendees during the time they were arriving and participating in the event. For a fundraiser supporting our veterans, having the opportunity to provide a complimentary breakfast would have been a meaningful benefit to the participants. Communication was another major concern. There was little to no signage directing attendees, no apparent advertising or promotion of the event by the venue, and very limited communication with the organizers before or during the event. When you're hosting a public event, particularly a charitable fundraiser, clear communication and coordination are extremely important. I understand that the event space itself was provided at no cost, and I'm sure the organizers are grateful for that. However, "free" does not eliminate the need for reasonable communication, accessibility, and coordination--especially when an event is being held for a charitable cause. The event location must realize their name is also tied to this event and after what I and several others witnessed, I would never support anything at this location again. My hope in sharing this review is that future event organizers will ask very specific questions about gate access, signage, food options, event promotion, and venue responsibilities before booking an event here. I'm sure the organizers wanted this to be a positive experience for their participants, volunteers, attendees, and, most importantly, to raise funds for our veterans. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and coordination made that considerably more difficult than it needed to be. In fact, given last year's event welcomed well over 100 cars, this year it attracted only 22. The organizers were lucky to have broken even. But the biggest loss was to those whose time, and energy, committed to participating and volunteering, for an event that had such a low turnout, was wasted.

I also didn't have a review for the place previously which over time kind of convinced myself I never came here before. Even after exploring around I didn't really remember anything from before. So regardless if this is my first time or a refresher visit I paid a visit here recently. There is no entrance fee but there is a suggested donation. The little shop here is cute! There are several different sectors to these botanical gardens. Probably my favorite was one area with a lot of plants in bloom. Another area was a bit more wild and took me to a suspension foot bridge. I went across the bridge twice but kind of got a touch of vertigo as it is kind of high and the bridge wobbles a little as you walk. It's perfectly safe... it's just me and having a fear of heights. There are pleasant and tranquil water features as you wonder around and there was one with a pond with koi that I got in a short video. These gardens are very nice to kind of "get lost" in as you bond with nature and hopefully have a bit of peace with your thoughts from everyday life at least for a little while.
