Not very strawberry themed but we had lots of fun so who cares. They did sell strawberry pie, strawberries, and strawberry daiquiris. Very family friendly. All staff were super nice and helpful.

Awesome time and great staff. Lots of good things to do and see. Increadible fireworks show at the end of a fun weekend.

Do not recommend at all! Hardly anything strawberry themed. One table with strawberry drinks, pie, and fresh strawberries. Planned on buying on way out and they were sold out. Not sure if it's always crazy or people just wanted to be out after pandemic. But we paid $30 per bracelet, $10 per person at the door. The lines were insane. It took 30 minutes to an hour or more per ride. Then the food lines were an hour long as well. They just let way too many people in. You could barely move. All the lines were bumping into each other from food to rides.. We left a little before closing and took almost 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot. When you drive in they have plenty of people directing you where to park but no one directing people out. So everyone is backing into each other, trying to merge.. a zoo! Not worth it at all. It's basically just a carnival with overpriced nasty food and tons of obnoxious large groups of teenagers trying to cut all the lines.. save yourself the aggravation! Trust me! We go to these types of events all the time and would never even consider going back to this one.

Every year we wait for the strawberry festival. We love it. We have a great time as a family here. We went on Wednesday. I tried to get back before closing on Father’s Day on Sunday and didn’t make it. They were open from Wednesday to Sunday only. They are now closed. I wish they would do a full week.

Not Bad, Not Good. If you are coming here for a full blown out Strawberry Festival in relation to Strawberries, don't bother coming. Like many of the others have said - there is one table in the middle selling strawberry daquris (non-alcoholic), strawberry pie, and chocolate covered strawberries. There is a table also as you leave that sells strawberries and chocolate covered strawberries. I will also tell you that they just buy from Driscolls and upcharge the living hell out of you. Next, I gave a $10 donation for parking, but did not expect to be hit with another $20 entrance fee - so keep that in mind. Furthermore, they only had 10-15 booths of vendors that actually were selling arts/crafts - the other vendors were business-type. Additionally, the carnival food stands were hit or miss. For example, my corn dog was cold as ice and $5. My churro was atleast hot and good, another $5. Two lemonades (which were fantastic at the Turkey Leg Vendor) - $8 bucks - not bad for carni prices. BBQ Truck was phenomenal with the food - worth the overpriced $ tag and they were very nice. In conclusion, if you don't mind spending the mandatory entrance fee and all the up-charges, have kids who want to go on rides, or waste 2 hours of roaming around and having some decent bites to eat - then I would suggest it. Final note, theres no way anyone is spending more than 2 hours here - so if you want to see the fireworks at 10:15PM on a Saturday - I would suggest getting there at 7:00PM, roam around, grab a bite to eat, sit down in the middle and then wait for the show - however I remember the fireworks were also sub-par. Good Luck.

First time at this festival and will be my last!!! Paid $6 admission per person for 4 and $30 bracelet for my 2 grandkids, so this is $84 cash so far! ATM's were not operating properly, due to poor WiFi. Food was no big deal and expensive. $5 for two Strawberries is ridiculous! Rides were ok but the lines were crazy! Fireworks were very good. The worst was getting out! Took us 45 minutes to get out of the parking area because they had incompetent young people directing traffic. Will not be going to this event again.

This is a carnival with a tent to buy a couple of strawberry themed items, very misleading. Went on Friday, gates opened at 5pm . At the parking entrance was a guy asking for Lions Club Donations i gave him $5 , mistake! At the gate it was a $5 per person entrance fee $10 . Then we went to strawberry tent to buy shortcake and chocolate covered strawberries and coffee, but they weren't opened yet and the chocolate covered strawberries wouldn't be ready for at least an hour. So we thought we'd get some roasted corn , but that concession said it too would be an hour for the corn, so now I'm thinking what did we get for our $5 each, we still had to buy everything else.So 30 mins later we we able to get a shortcake for yep, you guessed it, $5 , we walked around for another 20 mins then left, We thought it would be full of strawberrys to buy and lots of strawberry themed food. There's a great Greek fair close to my house that has Great Greek food and rides and it doesn't charge an entrance fee or ask for donations, so we'll be going there instead.

Anyone whose not had a good time here, something's wrong with you! They have highwire Acrobats, tons of Beautiful Vendors, jewelery, clothing etc. Great food including the Famous Strawberry Shortcake. Many rides,face painting, games too and even sell gorgeous Hanging flower baskets now at very affordable prices! Father's even ride FREE on Sunday! Plus the grounds it's on nobody can compare to. Much better than Greek Festival.

Nothing Strawberry about it, drove an hour away from home to visit a traveling carnival. $6 entrance fee, $30 ride bracelet, $10 horrible face painting. Walked out 20 minutes later to visit a real strawberry farm which then made the trip worth it.

Not what we were expecting ! We thought we would see strawberries and produce and planting , jams , jelly and strawberry pies , really a carnival and expensive for a family to get in . Adventureland in Farmingdale makes much more sense for a family .

Not really about strawberries, more like an overgrown Carnival. First and last time attending this Festival.

Guy at the shoot the star game said if I pay he can win for me… I paid and he didn’t win…

Expensive rides. Just a couple boxes of strawberries and pies at the exit. Otherwise no strawberries. Very disappointing and way too expensive. Never again.
