We got to ride the horse in the woods like a little trail ride while the others played on playground or went to the pavilion where we had snacks and a little petting farm area. It was cute and allowed for me to be more of the host. I liked it cuz it was like renting the space but they provided the petting farm and the pony rides. And we were not rushed out of there. Dry laid back and it was a private party area with a separate air conditioned and modern bathroom. They offered a pool option for an additional hour if we wanted it. The pool looked good and wish I did it. My friend ended up doing the pool and it was a completely tailored to her liking so I think they work with you. She had a certified lifeguard who really did watch the pool closely. And helped with tubes and swimmies and things. Highly recommend. They have been in business 52 years and it shows.

We were looking online at 'activity' farms (animal husbandry-horseback riding-bees, etc) in the…read morelocal area and came upon the Rose Bridge Farm. Rose Bridge is a sanctuary and working farm on land once owned by William Penn. Since 2013, the farm has become a 'forever home' for over 300 animals. Many of the animals are rescues from dairy farms, livestock auctions or other scenarios where they were at risk. They have several different activities, we opted for the Farm Fest, which combined several of the activities. The Farm Fest includes a mini farm animal husbandry tour, baby animal cuddling time, hands on craft activity, a beverage bar and an outdoor fire pit. It lasts about 2 hours. There were many parents there with children, but also adults like us by themselves. There are two times - 4-6 and 6:30-8:30. We went on the 4:00 tour. It was great! It was very interesting hearing how the animals came to the farm - it was so heartwarming to hear the stories of saving so many animals. However, I wasn't expecting the 'cuddling time' to be so much fun. We started with the goats - so friendly! They were nuzzling and 'pawing' us - I sat down and several came to me and wanted to be rubbed or held. I even had an opportunity to feed a baby goat its milk bottle! We interacted with pigs, sheep, a beautiful thoroughbred horse and a donkey! It was a very special experience! Afterwards we all went to a large barn and made crafts - specifically little planters we decorated, added dirt and seeds (large selection of flowers and vegetables seeds) to take home as a little souvenir. We had a dinner reservation so we left before the fire pit activity. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be with these farm animals and to support such a worthwhile project.

Visited the farms today for some blueberry picking. Even though they sustained significant damage…read morebecause of severe winter storms, there was plenty of picking to be done today. They have a good range of options available in good seasons: apples, blueberries, flowers, etc. They also have a good prices in their store, where they have a small amount of produce and food goods. I like a farm that keeps their stock simple like this-- not a lot of random more tourist-y items but just the food and products from it. There's a lot of room for picking here, but not a lot of shade on directly sunlit day like today. That being said, it was still a good time going in and out of the rows and we were able to get a decent amount of fruit with us. Price per lb. was more than great too! I'd definitely love to visit again-- 1-1.5 hours is sufficient for this location!

We paid for a reserved time for apple picking. It was two of the people in my family's first time…read moregoing. We were all really excited about the trip. We drove the hour to get there, checked in, each given a bag, waited and boarded the hayride to the orchard. When we arrived, there wasn't a single good apple in any of the trees. Instead there were large crates in the rows of apples. What a disappointment. I asked an employee about actually picking apples from the tree and she said that there had been bad weather in April which killed the crop for the fall. I asked why it wouldn't be on the website and she said it is, but it is buried in other things. I went to the site and saw that they mentioned that there were fewer apples. Never said none. Family after family left with empty bags. We were all really disappointed. AT ANY TIME THEY COULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO APPLES IN THE TREES. It was a no better experience than going "apple picking" in the supermarket. This was a known issue and hid the truth from customers. They basically stole $2.50 per person (total of $15) as they were selling something that they didn't have. After this experience, I would be hard pressed to go back let alone recommend them.

Visited in late September and it was already getting packedddd. Lots of free parking and it's…read moreseparated for folks who want to explore the farm and people stopping by for apple picking. There's no entry fee to get in, but the attractions like the corn maze, childrens play area, etc. are paid to get in. You can either pay with cash at the ticket booth or buy in online ahead of time/right there. It's a bit cheaper to buy online! The corn maze was okay, it's kind of too easy. The paths go up and downhill and if you choose the wrong direction, it just turns you around. It's hard to get lost in there. We finished it in about 30 minutes. There's also a smaller hay maze that you can see out of. The animal section was awesome. Lots of friends to see from goats to ducks and a pony area where you can feed them or kids can ride them. The gift shops we're okay, lots of treats reasonably priced, but nothing that really stood out to be. I was excited for apple cider donuts and they were good, but not great! While this is not my favorite farm/orchard its worth a visit and i'll be back next year!

Went to the spring car show. This is my 3 rd year going. They get lots of old and classic cars and…read morethey do a flea market as well. They have a pizza truck that serves very good personal pies. The car show gets a few hundred cars. If you want to enter your car it's $20 cash at the gate. They give you a small tin plaque and a registration card for your window. Since my car isn't winning any awards I don't stay till 3 pm to await the judges choices. My car is nice, but not prize winning nice but that's ok. It's a fun few hours. It got too hot by noon to stay longer. Weather in early May is tricky. Highly recommend checking out the car show. The general store on the grounds is huge. Bought lots of stuff to take home.

What a fun time the annual Applefest is! This year, the $5pp admission got us kid games, live…read moremusic, hayrides, candle dipping, face painting, free samples of apple butter and apple cider (that we got to help make), and access to farm animals (cows, sheep, donkeys, ducks, chickens, goats, and a pig). For a reasonable price, there were two food trucks (cheesesteaks, meatball sandwiches, hot roast pork, chicken nuggets, fries, etc), cupcakes, jars of locally made apple butter and honey, plus fundraiser table with caramel sauced apple slices. I was SO impressed with the volunteers. They were all very professional and polite. It was all teens hosting the kids' games, and they were amazing kids; all cheerful, competent, proactive individuals working to make a very fun experience for those younger. Everything ran super smoothly. They had ample volunteers at every post, but they weren't talking to one another or on their phones, they were present and willing/looking to help. I can tell Fox Chase is very experienced with these events because there was a process for each activity, lines were plotted with ropes or signs, everything was well-placed and well-spaced. Volunteers were apprised of every detail for their job, and super well informed. It was just extremely diligently planned. They even had parking at various local lots, and a school but shuttle to get you to/from the farm, all free. Even the police crossing guards at the entrance were plentiful and right on top of their tasks. In addition to having a blast with my kid, I also enjoyed the community. There was so much diversity at this event, I loved it! I heard so many different languages and saw all types of people. It was so fun to join in with such a melting pot of Philly Area peeps. Even the animals were chill and content, and super gentle with and trusting of the kids feeding and patting them. It was a great time! My only suggestions would be for the event to be longer (it was 12-4pm), and for more fall apple offerings, like apple fritters, candy apples, cider donuts, pumpkin bread, caramel popcorn, etc. If the fundraiser table sold those items it would be amazing! Also if there were a table selling apple and pumpkin pies on the way out, I can see them making a mint. People were so reluctant to leave, and wanting to spend money and take things home.

The founder is a warm, lovely person who has worked very hard to create experiences that are appropriate for people of all ages & abilities. The outdoor portion of the visit includes experiences that are visual, aural, olfactory, tactile, & even edible. They are set up for people with a variety of mobility. The indoor facility was beautiful & engaging, with separate rooms for active playing, light & sound sensory experiences, and even a meditation room. I went twice in 2 weeks, with different children & adults who had some similar but also some different favorites. I will be back. This is a very, very special place. We're so lucky to have it here in Bucks County. Every community should have a Friends of Fox Chase Farm.

We booked the Amish farm fun combo $30 per person 1.5 hours. We got there early so they put us on…read morean earlier time. However what they put us on was the regular Armish farm fun $22 per person for 1 hour. The difference is the combo one includes gardening and barrel train ride. But anyway, we realized it as the tour ended after one hour. We didn't bring it up since my children actually wanted to leave because of the hot summer heat. I will recommend the $22 basic tour. It was packed with action and after one hour, my kids had enough of the farm ( we also visited the miniature horse farm next door before this) and long for AC. The tour started with a hayride around the farm, about 8 min ride. Then we went indoor at the animal barns to cuddle: chicken, ducklings, bunnies, kittens, piglets , feed Cheetos to pigs and watch them go down the slides, bottle feed the cows, milk a cow and collect eggs ( pick one up and put in a basket). It was fulled of actions. Strongly recommended this $22 basic farm tour. While you are waiting for your tour, you can kill time by playing at the playground ( under full sun) or go indoor to the corn box for free.

This was my family's second time coming back here. My kids were just 3 years old the first time…read morethey came here and loved it. I took them back recently, as they're about to turn 6 years old, and this was the perfect age. There are a variety of experiences you can do here. We did the standard farm tour that includes a 5 minute wagon ride, where kids can drive! And then you go to the farm. On this last trip, there was a little confusion on the tour portion. I think they didn't realize our whole group was waiting. I ended up going up and found someone who managed to find one of the Amish women to give us a tour. On the tour, you'll see baby animals, feed the horses, bottle feed a calf, see baby chicks, and pigs. Then at the end, you can reach under chickens and pull out eggs from the nest. My kids could have stayed here all day. They also have a playground on site, tricycles, and a little shop where you can buy dairy products. Definitely worth a stop here!

The property is…read moreabsolutely beautiful, with plenty of friendly farm animals to see -- perfect for kids or just a relaxing day out. There was a long line for ice cream, but it moved quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. You can't see the ice cream behind the counter, so you have to go by the menu board (and samples). I tried the cookies and cream, chocolate, and chocolate with peanut butter cups -- all were incredibly creamy and full of flavor. It's 10x better than anything store-bought! There's also plenty of seating both inside and out on the porch, which made it easy to sit back and enjoy the treat. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors!

Overall, pretty nice spot for a morning or afternoon walk on a nice day. Also nice for outdoor gatherings with friends during this pandemic!
