Absolutely fantastic. Zero complaints, crew is hard working, always makes me happy to see a manager assisting his crew and asking every table how their meal is. Food is immaculate; highly recommend.The winter lights display is outstanding! Got engaged there this year. All around a great establishment for dining/family time.

If you are cool with seeing a "mega farm" then this is it. I didn't realize they were the ones on the news for animal abuse in the past before going there and apparently they are still not up to what it should be for their animals. I can't say that I saw abuse of any of the animals but I can say that I didn't totally enjoy what I saw either. It's one of those give and take kinda places. It was rainy and windy the day we went so unfortunately we couldn't let the kids rock climb. We did go to the cafe first thing and I will say the food was alright. We ordered coffee and yet a dairy farm didn't have any creamer?!? That's crazy to me. The exhibits were okay. We did see 2 calf's born that day...but I can't say I like the practice of them taking the calf right away from their mom after they were born. Eh...it's just a me thing. The kids enjoyed the rope climb in the pork barn. And it was interesting in all the buildings and the bus rides out to the cows and the pigs. Like I said...I can't completely support how these animals are being cared for or how they are living. It's just not something I would like to see and by the end the kids didn't like it either. To each their own. We just really love animals and this wasn't the best display for them to be showcased in. The dough nuts we bought there were delicious! And the restaurant located on the grounds was delicious! Pricey but delicious. So overall this place wasn't quite for me. It was interesting.

My family and I went to see the forest of lights and omgosh was this a fun filled family night! Dancing in the woods and twirling around with my parents is definitely a core memory I’m not likely to ever forget. The Jameson cart is also a brilliant idea, and my toddy I had was def appreciated to fight off the cold. We had an absolute blast and I cannot wait to go back again to visit.

My husband and I went with our three kids(5, 3, and 4 months) yesterday. We had a great time! The prices seem a bit steep for admission, since most of the things you can do around the farm cost extra. We did the Dairy Adventure, Pig Adventure, and U-Pick Apples. After admission, food, activities, and ice cream, we probably spent about $300 all together. And we didn’t really do any other spending on things like toys, pumpkins, farm made foods, etc. Children and adults all cost the same to enter, other than age 2 and under being free. They also accommodate for wheelchair access with ramps and elevators, even on the adventures. And they allow you to use their strollers for smaller kids since you can’t bring your own strollers on the bus. Overall the experience was great, but way too expensive for a one day trip for our smaller family.

Very cool place, worth a pit stop!Food is great, and portions are big.Definately more fun for kids than adults, but a great stop off the highway either way.

This review is for the Farm House restaurant and surrounding property at Fair Oaks Farms. I also did a separate review of the Fairfield Inn that is on site.The Farm House restaurant is one of our favorite places and we plan trips around stopping here. This is the first time we stayed on the property and took advantage of all they have to offer.The restaurant is huge but still feels cozy and inviting. There is a large fireplace with a roaring fire and you can view the kitchen from the dining room. The servers are proficient and very accommodating. The first night my husband had the chicken pot pie which tasted very homemade and had large chunks of chicken inside a flaky crust. I had a salad with honey mustard dressing and added grilled salmon. It was perfect and I ate every bit. We are watching what we eat so no drinks or desserts for us.The second night we shared the sausage pizza. This is listed as an appetizer but it is more than enough for a meal for two! We even took home a few slices. The taste was wonderful.There is a cafe called Cowfe on site where they serve their famous grilled cheese. My husband had the grilled cheese and I had the Rueben. Both were very good. Not much atmosphere here. I think it is meant to accommodate a large number of people quickly. It was not busy but the staff was not overly friendly.Also on site is a large gift shop called the Market. They have fresh homemade donuts, brownies and other treats as well as a large selection of merchandise. You can even buy potatoes, apples and squash. Cute place. Prices were not bad.

Wow! We stopped to kill a little bit of time and wish we had more time. We were traveling with a person with disabilities and nothing held us back. The tour of the cow facilities was 100% accessible including the bus (wheelchair lift) and the barns (elevators to viewing areas). There is a special needs restroom with an adult changing table in the Market building!! I wish more places would offer this! Thank for a great couple hours, we will be back!

We went for a family weekend late April. The property did not disclose that their activities are “seasonal.” Had us spend over $100 for to watch cows and pigs lay around. No outdoor activities were available for my kids. Wasted my time and money. Lots of frustration and food is over priced. Got a brisket platter, had barely any meat. All fat. Mash fell apart in my spoon. People who order after us, go served first. Mind you, there was barely anyone there at the restaurant. One of my children is special needs and they acted like he was an alien. Kept staring and giving looks. We felt very unwanted. Don’t go here. A scam!

Great weekend experience. We stayed overnight with harvest host in our RV.It was the start of their sunflower 🌻 festival. They have a flower field full of sunflowers and wild flowers to pick from.There’s a bistro with sandwich and an ice creamery.They offer two 90 minute tours of their dairy and pork productions.We did the dairy tour. You get to see where the cows feed, birth, milk and rest.There’s also a restaurant on site. GET RESERVATIONS!!

Had a nice afternoon, we went for lunch at the Farm house . Had a 45 minute wait which gave us time to walk around. There's a really beautiful yard and creek that runs behind the restaurant and they were set up for a wedding that day. It's a real cool place to have a wedding. The Market had apples and alot goodies, but nothing is cheap so you know. Our lunch was very good and the service was wonderful. I suggest the fried chicken it was amazing and the pizzas are really good. I have taken the tours and went through the other educational parts of the farm and it's very interesting and the kids all enjoy it. It's a nice weekend trip and easy to get to.

Facilities are kept clean and pig/cow tours are informative but these are definitely geared towards school aged like 7 and up children or adults. There is not much to do for younger children on the tours aside from a few small "play" areas. However the play zone was a blast and I loved that even younger kids could try the zip line activity. Ice cream at the restaurant was fantastic. I'd definitely come back again.

Visited on a Saturday and it was a unique experience. The grounds itself are open to all and it looks like there are more activities during the warmer months. There are three tours with different times each day. If you plan to do any tours arrive early to fit them all in. The last tour is at about 3:30pm and towards the end of the day the tours are not the full tour per a representative.The BP gas station when you first arrive has pre-made ‘to go’ items as well as ice cream. The cafe is a place I hope to try on my next visit. The market was closed. The restaurant was very nicely decorated and felt open concept. At the restaurant I had the brisket and it was delicious. The restaurant kitchen is ‘from scratch’. Portions for the cost were okay. The ice cream is yummy, but not mind blowing. The chocolate cake was dry and dense, I do not recommend.Overall it’s a unique experience and if you don’t have a weak stomach I would recommend.

To be honest I've been coming here for years for the gas station. It's a common stop for me and my friends and now family.The ice cream is a nice change of pace. But the dog park is the real attraction for us on the road.It's quiet. Well outfitted. Never a problem.

Our adult kids loved it as well as our 3 year old granddaughter, who I thought might be too young as she had just had her birthday. We started with lunch in an igloo which was so delicious! For some odd reason our waitress disappeared which was a little frustrating because one person didn't get their veggies and then we had to go inside to get our bill so we could make our tour times. The tours were fun and informative. The waiting area between tour times had very interactive fun, educational things to do. Of course we ended the day with ice cream and the gift shop. Unfortunately we didn't have time to see the birthing building. All in all it was a wonderful day!! We would highly recommend this place to people of all ages!
