Powered by GoogleThe most amazing summer camp experience for any child. I'm super jealous my kid gets to spend his summer here and I don't. The director is very impressive, his admin staff is so kind and go above and beyond, and the camp staff is stellar. SO. MUCH. STAFF!! And none are on their personal devices or have headphones on, which is hard to see nowadays at any place of employment. I am incredibly in awe of this establishment and feel so grateful to have been referred here.
Our school trip to Real Life Day Camp & Farm was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we arrived, the excitement was non-stop, and the kids (and adults!) had the best time ever. First off, the playground was a huge hit—cool slides, fun climbing areas, and plenty of space to run and explore. It’s not your average playground either—it felt more like an adventure zone. The kids could’ve stayed there all day if there weren’t so many other awesome things to do! Next up: horse rides! The staff were super friendly and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. For many of the kids, it was their first time riding a horse, and they were all smiles. The horses were gentle and well cared for, and the whole experience was so special. The hayride was another favorite. We all piled onto the wagon and rode through the beautiful farm, taking in the sights, waving at animals, and laughing the whole way. It had that classic, country-fun vibe that made you feel like you were in a storybook. One of the coolest things was getting to milk a real cow! How many kids can say they’ve done that? It was both educational and hilarious, and the staff made it super fun and hands-on. The kids learned so much about farm life in such an interactive way. Then came the petting area, where we got to cuddle adorable bunnies and ducks. The bunnies were SO soft and calm, and the ducks were waddling around, just being cute. But the absolute highlight for many of the kids? Bottle-feeding baby goats! It was beyond cute. The little goats came bouncing over, and the kids got to hold bottles and feed them just like real farmers. Their faces lit up with pure joy. It was heart-meltingly sweet and something they’ll never forget. Every moment at Real Life Day Camp & Farm was packed with fun, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. The staff were incredibly kind and organized, making sure our school group felt welcome and safe the entire time. It was a perfect mix of learning, adventure, and play. If you're looking for a place that offers fresh air, fun farm experiences, and a whole lot of joy, this is it. Highly, highly recommend for schools, families, or anyone looking to have a great time.
I attended my son’s field trip to the Real Life Farm and I’m not sure who had more fun, him or me. There were so many things to do and learn. And there were so many unique opportunities for the kids to experience with the animals that you don’t get at other farms. Farmer Aaron was SO great and interactive with the kids too! We had a blast and I look forward to future trips!
Great farm! We visited here with our homeschool group and were lucky enough to see a mama goat give birth to twins!!! It was so incredible. The staff was absolutely amazing with our children and really made them feel special.
This was an amazing place to visit! I went with my son and his kindergarten class! I was honestly shocked when we arrived as I had no idea there was a farm tucked away in Canton right where this was. It was a gorgeous facility, the owners were great, and everything was very hands on and very informative! The kids got to hold any baby animal they wanted, including kittens, ducks, bunnies, pigs, sheep, goats and more. They got to bottle feed and hand feed the animals, they got to milk a cow, go on a hay ride and ride a horse! It was such a fantastic and memorable day! I would highly recommend this place for all ages!
