★★★★★Tongde WuKids/adults friendly, and farm animals are just ADORABLE!
★★★★★Brittany SalterWe just went to 1870 Farm for their holiday event, S'mores with Santa. It was such a lovely way for us to spend Christmas Eve. The kids got to see all the animals, the farm was beautifully decorated for the holidays, and the Santa was so kind and patient. The staff on the farm was also helpful and accommodating. Whether we're coming for a class or event, we know we're going to have a wonderful time at the farm. The kids are already asking when we can come back!
★★★★★S SWe had so much fun at the farm today! Nicole was a great host and there were so many animals! My daughter enjoyed feeding all the different animals.. especially the bunnies. Highly recommend!!
★★★★★Brittany BilohlavekWe had the BEST time at 1870 Farm!! We came for one of their holiday festive weekends. There was the Santa Clause visit and pictures, gingerbread craft with an elf, snow ball area, interactive snow globe inflatable with balloons inside, tons of animals dressed up that you could feed and pet, a little playground house with a slide, beverages/food options and so much more. All of the staff members were super helpful and nice. We will definitely be back for future visits/events! Highly recommend!
★★★★★Sarah RodiAmazing Christmas/holiday experience! My 2 girls had so much fun!! We met Santa, made a craft in the workshop, pet lots of animals (including "reindeer"), wandered down Candy Cane Lane, had a "snowball fight", ate sweet treats and drank hot apple cider, and in general, just had the best time running around. This was our first time here and we will be back! It also wasn't super crowded. We spent 2 hours here, i think that's a perfect amount of time.
