Wheeler Historic Farm

It's been just over 10 years since we have been to Wheeler's Farm and it was a wonderful experience back. The farm is beautiful! Perfect place for a nature day to walk the grounds or have peaceful picnic. The animals seem healthy and behave happy. The Sunday market was so much fun to walk through. We will be back in the fall.

We love visiting Wheeler Farm! Their Sunday Farmers Markets are mu favorite! It's a dog friendly venue and they do fun experiences around fall/Halloween as well!

A beautiful must visit place. We go there to have a relaxing walk, very often. At 5 pm, you and kids can experience cow milking. Lots of animals to walk around. Well maintained farm and super nice staff! Thank you for maintaining such a wonderful place to visit and relax in Utah!

A horse here has open wounds with flies visibly laying maggots in them. I called the farm to express concern, and they claimed they were “spraying fly repellent” and monitoring it. But this wound is already darkened, visibly open, and fly infested. These signs are consistent with myiasis (flystrike). This condition is extremely painful and can lead to infection, sepsis, and death. It requires veterinary care, including wound cleaning, debridement, pain relief, antibiotics, and protective covering, and not just spray. This was disturbing to witness, especially with my small child present. Animal neglect is not acceptable in any setting, especially a public farm with a lot of children. At a minimum, the law requires that injured animals receive appropriate care. I sincerely hope they improve standards and are educated on equine wound care and hygiene, because this is not it.

Love everything about this park - the two playgrounds are cute and fun (one being smaller and more toddler friendly) it's well kept and clean. There are plenty of garbage cans and a shady pavilion with seating within sight of the playground. Only 4 stars because the bathrooms have been locked almost every time we've visited. Problematic for those of us with kiddos who can't hold it.

Beautiful - Plenty of resting places during your walk. Peaceful. There are signs which read, "Please do not feed the animals". Saw a Dad and Son feeding the horses. Maybe the sign needs to be in three different types of languages. Enjoyed!

After another venue cancelled last minute, Wheeler Farm was GREAT to work with us on our corporate event. The barn is beautiful, spacious, and has all the amenities we needed. Barb was there to help us. She did a fantastic job of making sure we had what we needed and checking in occasionally to make sure the event was running smoothly. Highly recommend!

I always have the best time at the Wheeler Farm Farmer's Market. Lots of fun vendors with fresh, local produce. Also a fair number of small businesses selling crafts and other products. I love wandering the farm after to check out all of the cute animals. This little place is a real, working farm operated by the county. It's awesome that the county has programs like this one. Keep it up!

A quant & quiet farm located in the bustling busy streets of Midvale Fort Union. Wheel Farm is the perfect place for a walk with the family, your partner, your dog or just yourself! Take a stroll and say hi to animals like cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, sheep, rabbits and even peacocks! This is also a great place if you're looking to start warming up for longer trail runs. On Sundays from June-October they host a farmers market that I would argue is one of the best in Salt Lake County. It's not as big as the one downtown but boy is it mighty. You'll find everything from fresh vegetables, produce, sourdough bread, dog chews, cooking oils/salts, handmade crafts and baked goods. Be sure to get there EARLY because parking is a bit of a nightmare.

I did not expect to spend a few hours here. I'm glad I checked this farm out. I believe there are two parking lots. I parked at the lot closest to where the animals are at. No issues finding a parking (I went during the week). I started at the path near the cows and made a big loop around the area. The space is huge. A lot of different areas and paths to take with a few resting areas (benches and tables). There are various types of animals to see there, too. I saw cows, pigs, roosters, horses, sheep's, etc. The place is well-maintained and clean. When I was there, I saw people riding their bikes; walking their dogs; hanging out by the lake; playing in the playground; walking around in their athletic clothes; having picnics; and staffs checking in on the place / animals. During that time, the educational building was closed. They were advertising some upcoming farmers market type events and a Mother's Day event. I look forward to coming back when they hold social events there.

Absolutely beautiful against the snowcapped mountains. Free farm you can visit, it is actually a County park run by the Parks & Rec Department. County staff, Kaylee was very helpful! There are horses, sheep, cows, chickens, goats, peakcocks, rabbits, and more. You can pay for wagon rides or for milking the cow. They have a Sunday market on site.

Sunday Farmers Market is back! I highly recommend if you come for the market that you get there early - it gets busy fast! My favorite vendors include: - The Green Jar for smoothies - Uinta Coffee for coffee or tea - Fire and Slice for woodfire pizza - Salsa Del Diablo for salsa and dips When the weather is good, take a walk around Wheeler Historic Farm and see all of the farm animals!

Truly lovely working farm with so much space to explore. From weekend farmer's markets to various events and holiday celebrations, there is always something going on at Wheeler. They have trails to walk along (dog friendly) and lots of animals and barns open to the public for visiting. The farm has a wonderful backdrop of the mountains and a playground for little ones. There's something here for everyone all year long.

Really great (and free!) option to take your kids to. We had a great time visiting and seeing all of the animals. The farm seemed very clean and taken care of. We came during the first snowfall of the year and it was gorgeous. Everyone was out taking pictures and it's no surprise why. We also came during the weekend of a craft fair inside of the barn. There were a lot of wonderful vendors and we left with a ton of goodies that I can't wait to open and snack on my trip back home.

We had fun here, it's a nice spot. We came during the snow in the winter, so it was "closed" (per se) without anything open, but just the open outdoor field area which was really a nice winter wonderland to experience and see. I imagine it's awesome during the various seasons and when there's activities here. Bookmark this place to visit if you have a chance and are in the area.

Me and my husband love going on walks at the farm. It has great walking trails and so many fun livestock to see. We've also done a show there for the Mother's Day boutique as vendors and it was so fun and beautiful. They really do a great job of preserving the properties beautiful attributes and make it welcoming to anyone who wants to come. It also has a park and a community garden.

Such a fun weekend farmers market there. Great food and doggies are welcome!fun animals too!

I love Wheeler Farm. My husband and I have a long term relationship with this beautiful farm. 75+ acres of open space, lush trees, birds, ponds, ducks n geese, baby piggies, bunnies, horses.. It's an actual working farm, so you're going to have real connections with the farm, real life smells and livestock. It's a beautiful, feel good place and I can't recommend this place enough. If you're considering visiting for the Farmer's Market, it's held on Sundays from the end of May until mid October. In the summertime, it's best to arrive early to avoid the heat. Each weekend, there's a diverse range of booths, this seems to apply for the vendors and the food trucks alike. Plan on coming back a few times to catch your favorite farmers, bakeries, produce and artists. I bought a rad fabricated hanging mobile from a gentleman who has just recently entered retirement, then I bought two beautiful heirloom tomato plants grown by a local lady in Holladay, and right next door to that booth, I bought the star of tonight's dinner: a pound of the most amazing looking chestnut mushrooms! :) Most of the people are SO nice and friendly. Unless you know exactly what you want, plan on staying for about an hour or so. Also watch out for "land mines" -- unfortunately the dog owners are hit n' miss. Most clean up after their pets, but some don't -- those are the ones that ruin it for the responsible owners. :( Parking is a little tricky if you drive into the park for the Farmers market. It's packed with folks coming and going. If possible, I'd recommend parking on the street (900 E.), assuming you can score a spot. Otherwise you'll find yourself waiting to get in AND waiting to exit the parking lot. If you cross 900 E in an area without a crosswalk, PLEASE use common sense: don't dart in front of traffic!! It's a five lane street, with traffic going 40+ mph. You're not trying to cross the border illegally into another country. Be patient. Wait for a lull, maintain eye contact with the drivers, and cross safely. I can't believe I'm writing this, but I saw several dummies today that luckily didn't become road kill. -__-

Cute working farm. The animals are fun to look at and most are very friendly. The grounds are large and the farm has different activities. The only complaint is that they should do a little more maintenance when it comes to the groundskeeping, but I also understand it is between seasons and they are starting to focus on Halloween. Outside of that, it's nice because it's free and you can spend some time outdoors when it's nice. It was slightly warm when we went but we still enjoyed ourselves.

I love going to Wheeler historic farm during the summer when the farmer's market is happening. This place is huge and you can walk right up to the cows, horses and other animals. Their little shop is cute and has some great local products. Bring a blanket and a picnic and spend a wonderful afternoon here!

I've come here a few times to just go for a walk with my dogs. This park is seriously HUGE and at least every time I've come, the farm is open. This is a great place to spend an afternoon with your family.

We went to the farmers market this past Sunday and it was totally rad. So many booths filled with farm fresh goodness. We bought the cutest carrots with green tops that even bugs bunny would be envious of lol. We also bought some really good hot salsa. Next time I will grab some of the beautiful pastries from the artisan bread booth. I'm almost sorry I didn't grab them Sunday.

Great event for kids with a large petting zoo. I'd say for kids under 4. The thanksgiving point park is much larger and better but this is surely second best in the area. Cow train, wagon ride, petting xo, farm games, corn jumps for kids.

It's not just a farm, it's a whole experience! Wheeler Farm is a beautiful, interactive farm where you can lean about animals, where food comes from and step back in time a bit as well! Lots of people come here for wedding receptions or other events. Sure, they do that-and they are lovely. But you can also come browse the farm and facilities (for free) to see how a real farm works. If you're bringing children, bring a few bucks for some of the interactive activities. We attended the Sunday Farmer's Market yesterday and were very impressed with the amount of vendors there. Good parking, lots of variety and a good crowd of supporters there as well. We look forward to returning to check out even more of this historic farm!

Beautiful place for picnic or pictures. We have come here twice for extended family pictures and it's a nice free location with lots of space to roam.

This review is for the Sunday Farmer's market. Can't find the pictures I took. Nice tents and booth around the grass some for food, fruits and veggies, and games for kids. A couple food trucks and coffee stands. Overpriced goods, with fruits and veggies probably purchased from Costco or Walmart and sold for 5x the price claiming to be from local Utah farms. :-) Am a regular here and enjoy visiting in the morning when the temperature is just right.

Beautiful farm central to the city. Most of the indoor activities closed for the season but they do have animals out for viewing. They have a great paved trail for walking. Since it's outdoors plenty of space fir social distancing. I went when it was snowing so it was a pretty peaceful winter wonderland. The bathrooms were heated and super clean.

This place was so much fun for my grandson. He did a lot of activities and wore himself out !

We loooove the Wheeler Farm! So many amazing things about this place I do not know where to start. Farm animals year round, want to milk a cow, run around on the playground, take a nice walk - the place is huge, wagon rides on weekends, all the holiday activities, and so much more! A must place to take kids of all ages ;)

You may go to Wheeler Farm for several different reasons. First, it is a real working farm, and free to visit anytime it is light outdoors. You can see horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, roosters, ducks, geese, and more. Sometimes there are even baby animals! You can bring your leashed dog to explore, and they are likely to have their best day ever checking out the plethora of fuzzy and feathered friends, along with the creek that runs behind the farm, and even just luxuriating in the vast expanses of verdant grass. There is a Victorian home that is open for tours, though somehow I've never gone. It's only a few dollars, and I'm sure would be very interesting. They have community gardens, cow milking, wagon rides and more! I know all of these things sound appealing for children, and of course that's true, but there is plenty here for adults as well. They host a farmers market on Sundays, which I love for various reasons. I adore the Salt Lake market too, but this one is smaller, with a greater focus on produce and prepared foods (less arts and crafts), and I like being able to go on a Sunday. They do get busy! I usually try to arrive right around when they open (9am), and sometimes parking is still limited. Bubble and Brown has a stand, and that's reason enough to visit. They used to do a winter market too, though I think that may have been discontinued. If you need a little nature in your life, but don't have time to escape to the mountains, it's located right in Murray, and close enough for a quick hour or two visit. This all makes me a bit lonely for summer days full of sunshine, when possibilities seemed endless and everything felt so warm and lovely. Which is not to say that Wheeler Farm isn't wonderful in the fall and winter too, only that it really shines it's brightest during that magical season.

We came here for a little event. It was dark so I didn't see much of the outside or surrounding areas. There was plenty of parking and the inside of the building was really cute and well decorated. I'm sure any theme you wanted to do could be done. Decent sized dance floor. There was a nice kitchen prep area and clean bathrooms. I think it would be nice to have a wedding reception here or a nice dinner. Looking at a smaller group of people most likely. Anyway, for the small amount I experienced, 5 out of 5 stars!

We love Wheeler Historic Farm. Since our puppy was fully vaccinated we have been taking him here for walks. There are lots of animals to see and there is a nice little trails on the East side that can keep you busy for quite a while. Our favorite thing to do here is the Market. It's dog friendly and full of local business and farms and is never super crowded. They set up in part of the parking lot and field just south of the big activity barn. We like to walk through the market and get ourselves something tasty like fresh local peaches or strawberries and fresh cream(my fav) and then we take a stroll through the farm. It's the perfect way to spend a Sunday, or any day for that matter.

I highly recommend Wheeler Farm especially when training your dog to desensitize to farm animals and the general public in a gorgeous outdoor setting. I can't believe how the Fall Foliage has lasted here especially w/ the drastic outdoor temp changes. For the most part people kept socially distant in their groups. There were great photo ops available all around the farm. I will comeback for another visit in the future.

Very pretty property with a few animals and lots of flowers. Unfortunately when I was there the historic home was closed. I would have loved to see the inside. Just bad timing

I go here for the walking trails. There are a few animals to see along the way. They have opened a new section that hooks on to the trail by the river which goes on and on. I'm not sure where it ends just yet, as I tried to walk to the end ....but there was no end on the allotted time I had, and my dogs were getting tired. I'll try again when I have all day to explore. Sunday's they have a small farmer's market, not many farmer's, but a lot of food trucks, and non-food vendors. (Think downtown farmer's market but on a much smaller scale) I wish it was just fresh produce, but that's just my preference.

Simpler times, friend. Simpler times. If that's what you're chasing, spend a day out at Wheeler Farm. Come visit the old farmhouse, smell the manured air and see the chickens and eat a simple meal on a grassy spread or picnic table. Watch the ducks skim across the water, and marvel at how fast and easy milk is to buy from the store instead of procure from the cow. Now, you're not guaranteed a simple visit here--no, you have to make that effort. Bring the kids and make it a learning experience and you may have simpler times and an appreciation for today's conveniences. However, if you bring the kids for a park-like experience you'll have them dashing around to play and begging for a treat from the ice cream shop. You've been warned. To visit the farm is free, but you'll want to bring a few bucks for some of the extras. It's not exorbitant, but they've got costs to cover. Milk the cows ($1), tour the house $2-4) and go on a hay ride (do they still use hay? Dunno.. but it's a wagon ride pulled by a tractor, $2). It's worth it. Then surprise the kids with a treat from the old ice house. As a side note, if you're there to snap pics as a pro or even semi-pro (listen up, brides!), you'll need to check in with the right people and get permission. I'm 82% sure that the fee is $10. As of 2011 there's now a Farmer's Market here each Sunday. The Wasatch Front Farmer's Market takes up residence when the temps get warm and is one of the only Sunday markets around SLC. The real low down is this: in the middle of the valley, with suburbs and strip malls stretching forth as far as the minivan can drive, it's absolutely refreshing and heartening that this farm has been preserved--albeit now more of a museum than a farm--to illustrate the roots of our Salt Lake Valley. Milk comes from cows, not a convenience store. Corn comes from the ground, not a can. Not every kid is going to be in love with the chickens and cattle, but every kid oughta know that they exist outside of a sandwich. Kudos to Wheeler Farm for teaching them that.

Awesom park for families or solo. Lots to look at from wood carvings, to animals, and people. (Just don't be creepy) My kids have this place down. 1st they have to hit the park. They climb up and down the slides. Then the hit the spin chair. They seem to use this toy for 20 minutes. I am surprised they haven't puked. Then the run over aNd look at the tree carvings.. they typically spend about 5 minutes there beFore they want to go. The. It's off to see the animals, after all it is a farm. They love to see the cos and horses. Then the goats, turkeys, and peacocks. Before we know it they are climbing all over the tractors and old farm trucks. They have wagon rides and cow milking you can pay to do. You can spend over an hour there easily.

We come here twice a year - once for the doggy Easter egg hunt and the doggie Halloween night. We always get our tickets in advance since they do sell out and it's a really fun event for the dogs. They do have to remain on the leash and they definitely get overwhelmed with all the excitement. It's a fun time for sure. Wheeler Farm is definitely in a convenient location right off I 215.

The grounds are sprawling and there are opportunities to brush shoulders with living creatures. They have rabbits in cages, some horses running around and I hear tell of cow milking opportunities. Unfortunately, I didn't get to wrap my hands around any succulent udders on my visit, but perhaps in the future. There is a duck pond that is well-populated with water fowl. They also have a huge playground. It's very new and of a "tree house" style that's very tall with lots of ways in and out. Instead of stairs and ladders they use fake rocks and other "natural" looking features for kids to climb on and off.

This place is a classic! My parents took me here when I was a kid and I love taking my kid here! The farm animals seem well taken care off, the grounds are kept clean, and the play ground is awesome! Plus the old barns and farming equipment make for an awesome back drop for family photos. On Sunday's during the summer they have a farmers market with tons of local vendors and activities for the kids. And taking a loaf of bread to feed the ducks is always fun. Great free activity for the whole family!

We attended a wedding here and it was beautiful. Definitely not a huge venue, but it was comfortable. They were able to do a dance floor and there was a lot of places that the kids could run around and explore outside.

Wheeler Farm is one of our favorite places to take our kids (but would also be fun for a date/family/solo stroll!) You get the three heavy hitters that qualify for a great place: 1. Outdoors - Fresh air! Sunshine! There's nothing like the outdoors to help a toddler/kid get all that rambunctious energy out. 2. Fun - There is a lot to do and see: cows, horses, goats, pigs, various poultry like chickens and turkeys (check out the hilarious crazy roosters), and usually some babies! The baby colts and calves are just too screamin' cute. There is also a small pond with lots of ducks and geese in the right season. And a play treehouse and cool barn where they usually are demo-ing the iron forge. And they have nice seasonal events/decor for Halloween (pumpkin patch, corn maze), Christmas, etc. 3. FREE - Yep. No need to pay anything to walk around and see the animals, and the wagon ride and cow train and other seasonal "attractions" are only a few dollars extra if you so choose to treat your little ones with it (I usually don't and my kids are satisfied with the farm experience.) Mostly dirt or gravel paths, so plan accordingly with strollers. I make my umbrella stroller work, but in inclement weather (read: mud) you might want something different. (Yes, we take our kids out when it's cold and rainy sometimes...cabin-fever is real.) Plenty of clean restrooms. If you're a photographer, you'll need to pay a location fee for any professional shoots. Plenty of parking on the north and south parking lots. The south side has a large playground/park (seriously, these people knew who their audience would be when they designed this place.) I've never been to the farmer's market hosted here but it would be fun to visit. Love Wheeler Farm - it's a must for anyone in the area with children.

It makes me infinitely happy to come on here and see a well deserving place get a near perfect rating. I've been coming to Wheeler Farm intermittently since I was young, but as an adult, I prefer it far more. It's centrally located on the eastern side of the valley, and despite still technically being in an "urban" area, it feels like a cheat code was used. It has an aura of seclusion, while remaining accessible. I like to come here during farmer's market season because it is a bit smaller than the one downtown. There's a little less to see, which makes it easier to indulge multiple booths. There's always fantastic food here, and that probably remains my favorite part of the market. Some vendors have been coming here for years, and feel like a cornerstone in the community. Wheeler Farm is free admittance, so if you're looking for an activity that requires absolutely zero payment, this is one I'd highly recommend. Even walking the grounds is an enjoyable experience (the farm is larger than you may initially realize) There are trails and walkways, or more sedentary activities like checking out the variety of animals they have. Seasonal activities are also worth checking out if you feel festive. The pumpkin patch in the fall is my personal favorite :) Exploring here is a great past time, and I'm so grateful for special places like Wheeler in Salt Lake. (Wheeler Farm has a very comprehensive website if you'd like to learn more)

Perfect family outing. We were invited to a birthday party here but had never been. The place is pretty big! Plenty of spots to have a nice little picnic with your friends or family. Loved the nice shaded areas to cool off at. We spotted a playground near the parking lot that was well maintained. There were some pavilions around it as well. It appeared another little party was going on at one of them. The parking lot was easy to find and had plenty of spaces which is always a relief. They have a nice little country store you could purchase gifts, treats and even their own honey. There was also a sign mentioning tours of the farm house for a minimal fee. I'd actually enjoy doing something like that if we weren't there for an event. This place is really charming. The old rustic structures and beautiful landscaping added to our trip. The barn building that had restrooms at the bottom appeared to have some sort of event hall you are able to rent for a larger event. It appeared that a wedding would be going on there later in the day. The bathrooms were easy to locate and they also had a water fountain with a bottle filling station. Our friends had rented a little party cabin that was easy to find on their map. It was in the shade near the ponds and really cute. Great option for a rental if you have a small party. There are larger rentals as well. Information on all rentals there can be found on their website. In addition to rentals you can also have professional photography done here. I saw a sign mentioning it and their rules (I'm sure you could easily find online) We passed by a cute baby photo shoot, wedding party and family photo. It's great how spacious the farm is. You're never in anyone's way so the photography doesn't interrupt your trip. Lots of spots for a nice photo op with your family as well! There are several animals on the farm you can walk by and view. I can't remember them all but we saw many of your average farm animals including some baby pigs. You're able to get pretty close to them which is great for the little ones. When we walked by the barn they were milking a cow and had benches inside you could sit and watch. The woman doing the presentation was very sweet and explaining a lot to the kids. I'm not sure if it was just a birthday party thing or all the time but she also brought in a donkey the kids could pet and feed. The wagon ride fits a pretty good amount of people if you're with a group. Our entire group fit on it with some extra people. It was a really nice ride. The bumps weren't bad and we went through some pretty landscape. It was actually pretty relaxing for a wagon ride. We spotted some nice walking trails and nature areas along the way. This would be a nice family outing. Pack a picnic and get out to enjoy the farm and burn off some energy. They have different events here as well we are excited to check out in the future.

This gem has beautiful grounds with a prehistoric farm with farm animals, breakfast options, and fresh produce. They sell anything fresh pressed juice, local organic honey, and breakfast made to order! Great for kids to enjoy the animals, enjoy the music, and occasional games. I took some visitors here and they really enjoyed it they even let you milk a cow on weekdays at specific times. Every Sunday, June 4th-October 29th Hours: 9am-2pm

Came for a visit based on a recommendation and so glad we checked it out! Our six year old had a great time on the hay ride and running around checking out all the animals. They did have a food truck which I thought was really cool, if we had known we wouldn't have eaten lunch before hand. Lots of places to have a quick picnic!

My friend and I run at wheeler farm at least 2-3 times a week. It's is beautifully maintained, and I love the trails and creek. The old barn is just incredible. I think it would be a gorgeous place to get married or have a reception. Everyone I speak to here is kind. I love the holiday and markets they have too! Such a beautiful little gem in the city. Thanks for being here!

Came here with the kids after a yummy lunch at Oh Mai a short drive away. What a beautiful farm! We saw horses, pigs, goats, and more. Entrance to the grounds is free. For $2 each, we rode a tractor around the grounds, which lasted about a half hour. For $1, we also got to milk a cow! Heading out, we stopped by the playground area to burn off some energy. All in all, it was a good time. I won't take off a star considering it's free but it would be appreciated if sign s were posted to educate us city folk about the animals or certain aspects of the farm. For example, when passing the pig area, having a sign with relevant info about them - how big they get, how long they live, what they eat. I noticed families picking up kids from camp when we arrived. Great idea!!

I believe the this place is actually a state park and working farm right in the heart of Salt Lake City, which in my opinion is a very nice option for a family day out. Now back to me, I rented the Wheeler Farm activity barn and lawn for my daughter's wedding and reception. It's really a very nice, rustic venue, and since that was what she wanted, it ended up being perfect. The activity barn is literally a barn of sorts complete with a loft, A/C, restrooms, small kitchen, tables, chairs and what they call a "bride room" all available with your venue rental. The staff were accommodating and helpful, but they do tend to nickel/dime you to death with the extra fees for most everything so make sure you read ALL of the fine print before you commit. To be fair, most or all venues of this type are the same in that respect. Clean, for the most part. Large, so it's suitable for most occasions/events/celebrations. Hopefully, I won't be booking any weddings in the near future, but Wheeler Farm is a very good option if you want that "country" feel.

Great place for the family and it's FREE! At one time they charged an entry fee, but when the county took over they stop charging. They do have a hay ride that cost, but it's only a couple of dollars. If you have children with no summer plans... They offer Summer camp that is absolutely fantastic and affordable. It does get a little busy in the Summer with kids everywhere. My favorite time to come is in the Fall. They have beautiful aged trees throughout the entire farm. It's definitely a sight you would want to see. The only thing I would like to see, would be for some of the animals to have larger cages. :-(

i really like this place! super fun and family friendly. great experience and the farmers markets are always great too!

FREE! If you're an animal lover and want to bring a bag of bread to feed the ducks and the geese just wandering around, come here! It's a park, and there's plenty of parking. Great to bring your kids, your sigfig other, or by yourself. Beautifully set up, and it's bigger than what I expected. There are horses, mules, pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, and pheasants. Beautiful place to take pictures with the backdrop of the mountains. +free admission +free parking

Beautiful farm, lovely surrounding and free (unless you want rides, which are being reasonably priced). Took the kiddo there and had a quick picnic in the farm. We took alot of pictures in all the cute insta ready setups. the gift shop stuff was reasonably priced as well.

Awesome place! We are not from the area so we tried to find something to do with the kids. Our hosts recommended us to check this place out. It was amazing. So many animals to see, a nice pond, area to watch cows being milked and more. Also great park too. My kids had so much fun. We spent over an hour just at the farm. Sadly, our farm trip was cut short due to the weather but still so much fun.

This is such an amazing place to take the family. We have four little boys who love to run around and burn off energy, and this is the perfect spot. We live close enough to walk the trails to get there, and there is so much you can do. The playground area is perfect for kids of all different ages. They have a very safe space for younger toddlers, but older kids can really have fun, too. The restrooms are always clean and well maintained, and I don't fear my kids drinking from the fountains like I would at other parks. The farm itself is amazing, and the whole family can learn about the various animals and plants. They have different classes and activities through the week, and on Sundays you can visit the Farmer's Market and buy incredible produce, meats, flowers, art and crafts. The food trucks are also amazing. There is a little store there selling odds and ends, as well as drinks and snacks, and you can buy tickets to the wagon rides or train rides. There are little clubhouses the kids can climb into, and the tree stumps are carved into amazing statues. Walk along the water or the tree line, and explore nature as a family. I honestly am so grateful such a place exists. There's even a pavilion you can rent out for events. Highly recommend visiting!

My kids loved being here! They hosted several birthday parties--hayrides, milked cows, fed ducks, etc. Some of my children went to summer camp here and loved interacting with the animals (especially horses), learning how to garden, making butter, seeing quilt displays, and preserving food. I have been to several picnics and wedding receptions here. The parking and traffic control are good. This is a nice place!

Amazing! What bad could you possibly find in a FREE resource with a working farm, education, gardens, a fun playgound, lots of grass to relax or play on, beautiful landscaping to admire, story time for the kids, great history, a fun shop, etc? I could go on, but I won't. You can also take a wagon ride for $2. They have amazing events, like pumpkin patches and activities in the fall. There is a train and games and lots of fun. You can watch a cow get milked any day at 5 PM (I believe). You might get a chance to try it yourself. There is so much I have not taken advantage of. I am always finding out fun things going on over there or services I need to take advantage of. My favorite find is story time. They have 4 or 6 every year in the milk shed. It's so much fun and then the kids get to run around and play and see the animals. The playground is great! The play structure works for kids of all ages. Smaller slides are on the lower level. Taller ones are on the higher one. A ladder, which can only be climbed by older kids, keeps the littles away from bigger slides and level unless they are supposed to be up there. There are also "rock" climbing and other climbing structures that are fun and a tunnel to climb through. Next to the park is a covered pavilion with plenty of picnic tables. There is also a lot of grass to sit and relax or eat on. There is a duck pond where you can feed the ducks. There are walking trails that you can explore that go beyond what you see when you first come in. There are beautiful streams and trees. Of course the highlight is the animals. There are horses, cows, sheep, roosters, chickens, goats, rabbits, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting. There are alto tractors that the kids can climb on. And did I mention it is FREE?? And the things that cost money, cost next to nothing. Cow milking demonstration is like $1. Wagon rides are $2. Good luck finding those prices at another farm. If you didn't get this yet- we LOVE Wheeler Farm!!
