I am here right now and writing this review. Worst experience getting in and parking. It's backed up for hour and a half, hay ride ends at 6 and it took as one and a half hour just to get in the parking. We have been coming here for many years and this is absolutely last time. We drive from Rockville to here but not anymore, there are other farms with better arrangements for parking and are cheaper. Fix your packing issues as kids feel punished to do pumpkin patch and do joy enjoy sitting in the car, it's very expensive too. Others there is butlers orchard, homestead you can visit. Don't waste a beautiful weekend day sitting in the car to get into their parking lot read more

Had a fabulous time with our 2 year old. We loved everything! Kept us entertained for a good 2-3 hours. Was well spaced out. Highly recommend for pumpkin fest! read more

We have been coming to Summers Farm for years and it has always been one of our favorite farm festivals. However, after going today, we will never be back. As other reviewers have mentioned the parking is awful. On top of that they were so short staffed the lines to get food were out of control. The line for donuts was at least 50 people long all throughout the day. The jumping pillows weren't properly supervised and there were way too many wild kids at a time. read more

Summers Farm is a wonderful place. It is over a large farm so you are not overly crowded. They have fun for young children and elementary age as well. The staff is friendly and they have fun scavenger hunts you can do through mazes etc. They have great food options as well. One thing I did notice is quite a bit of litter which is sad, don't know if it's all because of attendees or people littering from cars but please people clean up after yourself! read more

So my family & I LOVE Summers Farm! We went for the third year last week & it was even better than the last two years. HOWEVER. Last year at the petting zoo/animal farm section, we encountered a man taking care of the livestock who was incredibly rude to us, particularly our youngest who was FOUR at the time. He was using a pitchfork to put hay into the donkey's pen & our girl was standing at the fence. He, obviously irritated that there was a child there while he was working, swung the pitchfork OVER her head & literally dumped hay onto her while at the same time risking injuring her with a pitchfork, which was about an inch from her forehead. We said something to him, & he told us, in front of her, that it was "HER FAULT" IF SHE WASN'T "BRIGHT ENOUGH TO MOVE." We spoke to the ownership & they handled it well, we thought. They gave us tickets to come this year & ensured us that they would take care of this man. They also insinuated that we were not the first to have an issue with him. Last week. We had a great day. We went to visit the animals. We even had a "haha" moment remembering our donkey experience from last year. Our now-five-year-old was lovingly petting the donkeys while her dad was using the restroom. I walked over to the signage on the donkey fencing & made SURE it didn't say anything about not petting them. They all said the same thing: do not FEED the donkeys. Okay. Not one minute after she started petting the donkeys do I see an angry looking, albeit somewhat familiar man hovering in the corner of the gate enclosure (but on the outside, so I thought for a moment he was just a customer like us). He was glaring at her, & then sternly said "THEY'LL BITE YOU." I looked closer & realized it was our friend from last year! What fun. I felt my blood pressure rising but calmly said "She's fine. There is no sign that says they are not to be pet. There are tons of kids petting all of the animals here. I just double checked, & they say just to not feed them." He yells back at me, "& WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU." Umm... don't feed them?? I stared at him & said "What." He repeated the question like I was a three-year-old. I said, "You know what? You're the same guy that almost poked her in the head with a pitchfork last year & we had to speak to the owners about you! If there isn't a sign saying don't pet the donkeys, why would all these kids assume they're not supposed to pet the donkeys?!" He says, "Well I'll have to make sure they say that. Talk to the owners about whatever you want, but they'll bite." OK buddy. There was a group of women with small children witnessing this, who then said that he had just yelled at them before we came over. Meanwhile, our older girl (10) is pounding on the bathroom door: "Dad, get out here NOW." I look at the bathroom door for five seconds & then back to the friendly man. He vanished! I'm pretty sure he remembered his encounter with their father the previous year & when he heard him barreling out of the bathroom, he decided to disappear. Our doting protector waited around for a WHILE to catch this guy, with the goal of forcing him to apologize to us (swoon). He also, again, spoke to the employees about this guy & even referenced our experience with him from last year, saying they obviously did not take care of the situation if our encounter with him this year was even worse. They gave us tickets AGAIN for next year (How about a refund? Obviously, we are not having a great experience by coming there anymore!) & tried to find the man because my guy was still determined for him to apologize. They couldn't find him, said they'd "get us in contact" (they didn't take our information) & that it's "weird this happened because he's only there for five minutes to take care of the animals" - ok, well, he obviously optimizes his time while he's around other humans. I'm not about messing with people's livelihoods. It's not our goal to get this guy fired. But if this business prioritizes the customer experience, it's their responsibility to actually take care of it. I can't believe how we've been treated not once but twice - it's not right, & I'm sick about having to tell our little girl that she did nothing wrong, again, & that some people are just not very nice. We should NOT have to have this talk with her because Summers hasn't taken this concern seriously. read more

Went for the corn maze at Halloween, which was huge. We got through by always turning left. It's a great place for kids, teens, and families. Not as ideal as a grownup date night. (See former sentence about kids, teens and families.) read more

This is my first visiting Summer's Farm and we will be doing this every year. We had so much fun today at the farm. I came with my daughter and boyfriend. My daughter received a free entry ticket from her school so we took advantage of that. I paid $20 for two adult tickets online and I also used a code they provided on their website that gave me 10% off the ticket purchase. The lady at the entrance was very informative and suggested which activity to do first since we arrive late afternoon. We got on the Wagon Ride first since it was going to close at 6 pm. It took us to the pumpkin patch where we posed for your cliche family fall pics. We parked close so we were able to drop the pumpkins off then re enter the farm. They give you wristbands that allow you to re enter the farm. They had a really cute mini golf set up and we played all 9 holes ( I won) Then we slid down a giant slide which brought the kids out in both my boyfriend. We got on it three times. They had a zip line there and my daughter and I went on it. It was so much fun and I'm glad I did it. I fell off and my boyfriend recorded it. That was epic, that video will haunt me forever. The last thing we did was the short corn maze and we finished it which doing any shortcuts. It was a lot of fun and it made more scarier that it was dark since the sun had set. They have Fireworks every Friday and Saturday. We decided to leave since my daughter has dance class. They also had a little section for campfire. You can bring your own stuff and roast marshmallows and all that good stuff. Next time we go I'll come prepared and do a campfire. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend visiting. read more

Waste of time and money. the "road" driving in was a cow path. My shocks on my car got a workout. It was $18.50 per person and there was hardly anything there. The food tent was supposed to be open at 10:30 and it was 10:45. There were hardly any animals. It was a truly awful time. We left in less than an hour. For the entry fee alone, I expected much better. Should have gone to Jumbo's read more

Visiting a farm with a pumpkin patch is a fall tradition for us and we try to visit new places each year, we will not return to this "farm". It is basically like a tourist attraction in the middle of a neighborhood, which is just not our thing, so lesson learned. If they limited the number of visitors, they could then manage the activities and operations better, which in turn would provide a better experience for families with elementary aged kids as they have done a good job of setting up a wide variety of activities to have a fun fall day on the "farm". However, this is not the case in my experience. It's pretty irresponsible to allow the number of people that they do... there does not seem to be any sort of limit, creating not only a kid safety risk (4-5 kids lost in the 4 hours we were there!!), but there is not much order/structure. You will notice this right away if there is a long line to get in, you have people bypassing the line by going over the rope, it's a mess. (To give them the benefit of the doubt, if people had a reason to bypass the line there are no signs or communication on where to go for what). Business 101 is what are visitors experiencing as soon as they enter? An attraction that I love and look for and was the reason I picked this farm over another when our first option was sold out is the corn maze. Again, it's managed poorly, there is a mail box for info. Guides, but no copies were left and no one was around. There have been past visitors that didn't respect the maze paths and created their own paths resulting in us ending up in the short/kiddie maze, which brings another point, why would you put them next to each other? Not worth the $17.50 we paid for each family member. read more

last year this was a good place but now we'll how do I sugarcoat it- I can't. this place sucks really bad. oh and forget it if you have a walking disability or use a Walker etc, you won't even be able to traverse easily, and it will take a while to move around. Second off the ride up is very long as so is the walk to and from cars, etc. Half the places were so far apart and places weren't even opened when they said that they would be, like food places. Some people weren't even running stands as well. Lot of holes too and steep upward hills and a ton of space for not seemingly a lot of things to do. read more

We were there with two grandsons, 6 and 14. It was much as we expected. All the usual attractions were there and it was just fine, except for one thing.... After we there for about half an hour, I began to feel this feeling of anxiety and aggravation. It was then I realized that it was the loud and obnoxious radio styled music that was blasting from the tinny loud speakers all around! I just wished that it would stop! It became a constant source of irritation. In the couple of seconds between the noise, I could hear the sounds of people, of children having fun and the breeze blowing through the corn. How I wished the loud obnoxious noise of the loud speakers would just stop! Sure, have the speakers, if you must, but not that insipid music! It was not the genre of music that I take exception to. It was the loud, obnoxious and tinny loud speakers that were hard to get away from! read more

There is no shortage of corn mazes and pumpkin patches this time of year but this is by far my favorite. My daughter and I went with a group of friends and everyone had an absolute blast. The corn maze is massive and if you solve all the clues you can earn a free bag of kettle corn. There is a corn pit which is like the ball pit but with corn kernels. There are two slides, an apple shooter, pig races, a giant jumpy pillow (which is much harder than it looks!) and of course pumpkin picking. We easily wasted the afternoon away here and everyone left exhausted but happy. read more

Want to be a kid again? You've come to the right place. This is a wonderful farm with plenty of activities for everyone. Pig races, elaborate corn maze, pumpkin patch, farm animals, slides, apple cannon (I know right??) and of course, jumping pillow. What's that you say? Only the best thing ever! As an adult, casting your inhibitions and joining throngs of screaming children on that wobbly sea of red is nothing short of exhilarating. For a few minutes you will remember the thrill of being a kid, jumping up and down without a care in the world. Then your knees give out and you're short of breath and you remember you've got bills to pay and work to finish. *sigh* read more

Summers Farm - U-s-a - Attraction Farms Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

An amazing place to bring the kids for an affordable price! My mom, my niece and I spent a Sunday afternoon here. We had an absolute blast! There's so much to do... we ended up leaving before we could do it all. We mainly came here for the hay ride and pumpkin patch, but couldn't resist trying a few of the other activities (the giant bouncy jump, the huge slide, the pumpkin maze and the pitching cage.) We stuffed our faces with pumpkin spice donuts, kettle corn and hot apple cider. By the time we finally left the parking lot, my niece was fast asleep!! What a day! I highly recommend you try this place for you and your family. You will NOT be disappointed!! Tip: Make sure you buy your tickets online before you go! Trust me, you do not want to stand in that line! We walked right in with our electronic passes on my smartphone. Plus, sometimes there are coupons!! Check online first! read more

This is a great family afternoon: corn cribs, a corn maze, big slides and a huge bouncy pillow. At slightly under $11.00 admission is reasonable. The place is clean and family friendly. Overall, there probably is not enough to do in order to justify more than one visit a season unless you are a neighbor. Still, well worth it for a single afternoon. Food is pretty typical "fall festival stuff": burgers, kettle corn, apple cider donuts and the like. read more

Summers Farm - Corn cribs. - Attraction Farms Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We had our first Scout outing of the year here and it was an awesome success. Everyone loved it so much they broke their personal curfews and promises to leave early to stay till dark for the...ready? Legit legit FIREWORKS! Add to all that there's so much more than you can do in one day and we definitely plan to return again and again. I was thoroughly impressed by farm staff's attentiveness to patrons and they were so darn nice for no reason at all;-) that's not to be taken for granted! Our campfire attendant was super-on-top of things and again, just a nice guy! It was a great way to start off our year and everyone is excited for our next outing. The PA system was great for communication, especially for lost kids, so we knew what was going on at all times, the lights at night were bright enough. For a Sept/Oct trip, Definitely bring warm coats and hats, and dress in layers bc that mountain air is a good five to ten degrees different than elsewhere. Worse case leave it in the car for the evening bc you won't want to leave a minute early! Extra folding chairs for campfires is a help, too, if you have a large group like ours. I was super-impressed by their high-tech setup, as a Leader, I could purchase our group rate tickets ONLINE up until the minute before entry, none of that two weeks out give a huge NR deposit business. We didn't have to wait in line for too long to check in AND I was able to send tickets out to the members of our group in advance so no babysitting the gate as they arrived, all at different times, my kids and I could actually enjoy the farm! Imagine that. It made organizing a dream and I've done quite a bit of organizing, it was nice to relax bc they really made it so easy. I'd come back for that alone. Good thing there's much more! Thank you Summers Farm!!! read more

Always a fun day out. This year was no different. Went mid week, so it wasn't very busy. They were seemingly understaffed-waited in long line to pay for pumpkins. Seemed to need some upkeep this year. There was a really bad smell near jumping pillows-so much so that kids wanted to leave the area. Also many of the older activities ( mini golf, basketball & baseball toss, etc) really need some TLC. read more

I absolutely love fall festivals on farms and had a spectacular time at Summer's Farm in Oct 2017! We visited for their fall pumpkin festival and really enjoyed all of the various attractions they had, including the tractor ride out to the pumpkin field, the pumpkin picking area, the corn maze (with the interactive story of Jack and the Beanstalk along the way), their awesome store where we got souvenirs (Christmas ornaments and fall candles), and their donut stand! We got some amazing cinnamon and apple donuts! This fall farm festival is also very kid-friendly and they have several attractions just for kids, including an obstacle course, tug-o-war, straw mountains, a giant slide, a pumpkin train, a playground, etc. There's something for the whole family at Summer's Farm. I would certainly love to return! read more

This place is awesome! We are a family of five with kids ages, 5, 7, and 12 and every single one of us had a blast! Summers Farm has a variety of fun activities such as: corn maze, pumpkin train ride, pig races, hay ride, basketball hoops, giant jumping pillow, Apple shooter (additional cost) and so much more! This place is well organized and the staff was great! You definitely get your monies worth (: read more

Summers Farm - The pumpkin train ride - Attraction Farms Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

Man has this place gone downhill. Most of the concessions are closed. They had basically no pumpkins left. The ones that were there were obviously trucked in from somewhere else. The whole things reeks of miserable commercialized farming that's just overcrowded and miserable. They didn't have enough employees. Lines were long. I know Covid has made things hard but geez. read more

Summers Farm - Attraction Farms Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

We love this place! There are so many fun things to do here. Giant slides, jumping pillow, corn pit, pumpkin train, etc. We went for the first time last year and plan to go again every year. Sadly enough, I'm probably more excited about it then the kids are because they are too young to really remember going last year (although once we go, they'll love it too!) read more

Love this farm, we had children with us ranging from 1 1/2 to 15 and they all enjoyed the activities. The staff were all following Covid guidelines, the visitors were all wearing masks as well. Lines were clearly marked for social distancing and they had so many hand sanitizing stations that I never even had to use my own. I felt very comfortable taking my family there, even with amount of people they had visiting today, it was crowded but there is much land, you could spread out very easily. They offer so much to see and do...and eat!! I highly recommend this farm to anyone who wants to enjoy a wonderful and safe outdoor experience with their family. Kudos to the owners, management and staff for keeping the crowds safe and still allowing everyone to have a great time during this pandemic, it's just what we needed!! read more

Summers Farm - Just another day at the ranch rallying up our cattle! - Attraction Farms Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

The staff was amazing! All wearing masks, and all extremely kind and courteous. I witnessed a lot of sanitizing happening throughout the farm and it was good to know that they had safety in mind. This was a great experience for my family and I. We all enjoyed every moment we spent at Summers Farm. I went with kids ranging from 7-16 and they all enjoyed all the activities and we are definitely planning on going back again. read more

I cannot stress how amazing this place is. Drove over an hour to go here and my boyfriend and i agreed we would've drove over 3 hours! Tickets before 3 are 10$, not 15$ like the other reviews say. (You can come any time after your time). With the amount of activities, beautiful views and polite customers, we wouldve paid much more for this! As a couple in our 20's we still enjoyed all the activities, especially the tractor ride to pumpkin patch, fireworks at 730 and cornmaze. (and OF COURSE the petting zoo) Everyone was so polite and happy to be there that were happy the entire time. So many comments are complaining about not everything being open, activities being closed, etc. IT IS A PANDEMIC PEOPLE! and theyre still operating to give you something to do! It is a shame to see bad reviews because we cannot stop talking about what an amazing experience we had. The amount of activities there was like 7 different places in ONE for a cheap price. This place is a national treasure and i cannot wait next year to spend my birthday here again! COVID highlights -santizers at every stations -everything spaced out, only time youre near people is in lines where everyone is masked tips: -pack water for the day so you dont have to stand in life and to avoid the money -pizza was the only real meal to eat so if youre going to be starving pack something yummy! - parking is great so dont worry about getting a spot or paying a fee -bring a blanket in your car for the fireworks (or to eat on to have a little picnic) read more

My first impression made me sick. The flags on either side of the gate going into the property was a nice touch until I saw that one of the flags was touching the ground. Also, if you are going to post flags or fly the US flag all night a light needs to be on them thru the night. When I mentioned that one of the flags was touching the lady brushed me off saying that it was the end of the season and that it was ok....OK? I think not! As a disabled vet this sight made me sick and I couldn't wait to leave. If they feel so cheaply toward us soldiers, sailors and marines as to desecrate the very thing we fight for. I will never go there again and will pass along my feelings to all that will listen. read more

Summer's Farm recently fell onto my radar when they made national news for creating a Taylor Swift corn maze. As any good T.Swift fan would, I made sure to check it out on their opening weekend because I had to see what this was all about! I was so surprised to see that Summer's is a huge place with SO much to do! Unfortunately, I am a "grown up", which means a lot of the really cute and adorable things to do on the farm were not for big kids like me. If you have small children I would highly, highly recommend Summer's because they are definitely the target audience. Still, we found plenty to do, including mini golf, some baseball pitching type of thing, and a few other little games here and there. The pig races were closed, which was really disappointing. They also blasted a really fun mix of music - everything from Macklemore to the cartoonish sounding "It's Raining Tacos" which will haunt my dreams and nightmares. There was plenty of food, though several of the stands kind of unceremoniously closed for the day (which meant we weren't able to try a hot apple cider donut!) My husband got fries and they were pretty good.... but honestly the real appeal is that you have to get your condiments from the "condiment cow". Watching him try to "milk" the cow to get some BBQ sauce is something that will make me laugh forever. There's also a little store, but it's very, very, very small for a farm store... they didn't even sell jam! As for the Taylor Swift corn maze? It's legit. We were able to get through it in I think about 35 minutes, and that was with 4 adults trying to navigate. (Well, probably 3 adults in reality because I mostly just followed the leader and took photos...) There are several stops with Taylor trivia and your answer directs you which way to go, so study up! The only down side is that they didn't play her music while we were in the maze. You would think that they would have little speakers throughout playing some of her greatest hits or something. Isn't that sort of the point? Fortunately we connected with a group of girls who we walked part of the way through with, and one of them had some sweet Taylor tunes playing on her cell phone. Better her data plan than mine! If you're looking for fun fall activities, look no further! And if you have small children with a lot of energy, you may as well just get into your car right now and head on over! read more

2.5 stars - A little disappointed... we knew going in that this was more of a farm for children so we planned on seeing the animals, doing the corn maze, getting some food and picking a pumpkin. Only one of the multiple food stands was open and they were out of both kettle corn and apple cider donuts - boooo. The apple cider slushie was good but the big pretzel was stale? The maze was fun, and it was nice to pick a pumpkin off the vine. The "country market" is more of a shed and they moved the stuff outside... we asked the kids working there about the food and apparently they make the kettle corn and donuts on the weekend and sell it throughout the week and had sold out. I'd suggest going on the weekend if you want those things even remotely fresh. The "market" mostly had cheap toys and not much else. The animals were cute but a little depressing, the stalls are small in a dark barn and some didn't have fresh water. Not everyone was wearing a mask either. Lots of activities for young children but just kinda eh for young adults read more

This is such an awesome place to spend a fall day. We all had a great day but especially my 2.5 yo kid. There were so many activity stations and rides and slides. It's really large and even on a weekend it didn't seem crowded. It isn't nearly as expensive as most of the other farm places and the admission price includes almost all of the activities. We ended up going twice this fall and it didn't get old! I'm still finding corn kernels in my laundry ... read more

Great fun for the young ones. My 2 YO had a blast in the corn pit. Lots of activities for the kids to enjoy from 2 to 15. They have an apple cannon that isn't included in the price of admission but it's fun to give a shot for a few bucks. The corn maze was awesome. You can get lost for a little while and just take on the outdoors at the farm. Will return for sure! read more

No school and looking for something to do, I went today for the first time and I was impressed! So many activities for the kids and not just for little ones. The price was one and 1/2 off the second guest so it was definitely affordable. I would recommend this place to anybody looking to entertain their kids, clean bathrooms, plenty of food shops, rest area, washing station, and of course tons of fun for the kids. A+. read more

Your kids can spend hours here and not get bored. Well worth the admission cost.

This place is fantastic and it gets better every year. They invest every season in upgrading their attractions and making it an even better experience. We love the corn maze every year, and the kids enjoyed the jumping pillows, apple canons, hay ride to the pumpkin patch and everything else. A wonderful value and a great day of old-fashioned family fun. read more

I saw this place online and thought I would visit for some good Fall Fun!! I am sure glad I did. It was a great day to spend the day with my husband. We paid $10 and got lost for 2 hours in the corn maze! We saw pig races, had fresh lemonade, donuts, pumpkin rolls and kettle corn. We enjoyed the family atmostphere and had fun on the hay ride to pick our pumpkins from the patch. I am glad I was able to expierience this kind of fun especially since back home we don't have seasons! read more

A fun place to take your kids. Ticket prices were a bit out of hand for what you get, especially since you have to pay for some of the attractions inside like the Apple Launcher. The Apple Cider slushie was not an icy slushie it was pure liquid and the kettle corn was flavorless and definitely not worth $6.99. They have some cute concepts like for Halloween they will launch candy at the children on the hill, so definitely something unique and fun for the kids. If you bring your kids, you must bring a change of clothes for them. There is dust everywhere! This is not the place for kids with asthma! This is also not a place for adults to come and visit. There is nothing to do here for adults. The ideal age for this "farm playground" 6-11 years of age. Had an overall good time, but do not have the need to go back next year. read more

All around fun, but a bit high on admission. I don't see the value in a double digit entry fee for the entertainment there and paying the same price per pound for pumpkins. Corn maze is sub par. Food is over priced. But the pig races are fun. The donuts made from Apple cider are good. Kids love the bouncing area. Good family fun. Just should be about $5 and not $12 read more

Our family has enjoyed our 5th consecutive year at Summers Farm! We have been to others, but keep coming back due to their location and attractions being the highest quality in the area! I enjoyed this year so much that I compiled a 7 minute video of our family's day in 2011 and you can see it at http://vimeo.com/31353075 Enjoy :) read more

Family fun! This place is hugh with so much to do. Pumpkin train, peddle carts, duck races, jumping pillow and a great corn mase. I thought it was pricey but after my 3 year old had such a wonderful time, it was more than worth it. Granted it was far from home, we'll go back for sure. Visit around 5pm when the crowds clear out. read more
