Awesome time with my daughter at her field trip!! Beautiful farm
My son went on a field trip here today. This place is wonderful (although not open to the public). There were over 200 children and many chaperones. The grounds are very clean and spacious. Menagerie Farms is a great place for a field trip! There are many things for the kids to do (hay ride, feeding animals, feeding fish, pumpkin patch, playground area, and train ride). The people managing the farm we friendly and professional as well.
I waited a few days to see if I still felt the same way as I did on the birthday party day.
If I could have given it zero stars, I would. If the 26 five year olds would have shown up as the rsvp list indicated, it would have been a total fiasco. Did you really think two staff members, one about twelve years old could handle it? My idea of a birthday party is not giving 12 five years old food to feed a goat followed by giving them food to feed fish. This was followed up by a very short train ride. You had a whole farm to ride around and you make two short circles, bringing the kids back at 2:10 when it was planned to have them back at the tables at 2:30. The only thing that was unicorn was our party decorations that WE provided. It was supposed to be a unicorn party. They slapped a unicorn pillow on top of a pony that gave the birthday girl a very short ride. They took him out of the rotation because they only had two staff members. At least they knew it was a safety issue. There was no activities while they waited for their very short pony ride. Could you have blown up some balloons and let them keep them up in the air while they waited? As a grandmother, I want the extra money back that we paid for a unicorn. As a former educator, I want all my money back. We would never take a field trip without staff to keep them safe. 26 kids needed at a minimum of five staff members with a party plan. If our parents had not stayed to watch over their own child, it could have been a very dangerous situation. I am not sure what we would have gotten if we got the Cinderella party. I guess we would have chased the mice and picked the pumpkins. That is for the farm workers, not the birthday girl and her friends.

We are extremely grateful for Menagerie farm! They have created so many wonderful memories for my children. We attended the summer camp which was not like anything my kids have ever experienced. They are counting down the days until they go back. Knowing how much they loved the farm, we recently had a birthday celebration at the farm and it was quite honestly one of the best parties we’ve had. The owner and staff went out of their way to help, accommodate and make it a truly unique experience! Highly recommend!
Such a fun place to take kids!!! So much to see and do :) By far one of the best field trips I've been on with my kids. Should be a required school outing every year. Wear proper clothes and shoes, your feet will get dirty!
Awesome for kids birthdays and other outdoor activities! !
Loved, it, and have been three times now, and will return! !!
Great family environment and owners make you feel at home while your there with them, to make it an awesome experience.

I had my daughter's 7th birthday party at Menagerie Farms, and I just have to say that everything was amazing. The staff was so great getting the kids through all of the activities! I've never had a party somewhere where they were more eager to help me unload and set up and even reload my car! I'm so used to doing everything by myself that it was hard to let the ladies help!
The kids had a blast with the horse riding, goat and fish feeding, and the train ride! They also LOVED the playground and sand pit! Plus we had a special visit from a unicorn that my daughter got to ride the whole time the kids were riding the horses!
One of the best parts for me was when I realized I forgot my cake serving utensils and didn't even have a knife with us. 48 forks but no knives! The staff just said "Don't worry about it, we've done this before with just a fork. We'll take care of it." And they did. And it was wonderful!
I would definitely throw another party here!
