Green Meadows Farm New York

Easter eggs hunt was so fun. Animals feed, games and the show. The cabbage for animals feed was $9. No so much food vendors. We arrived 10 AM at the entrance and there was no line. We was the first group to exposed everything. Don’t come to late cause the line so crazy.

It was in alley pond I thought it is private farm.they took a lot of efforts to create an ambience entry was $14for adult and kids under 2 free

Okay, here we go! Green Meadows Farms. Please check out each of my photos as they will show what I’m describing below. 1st of all - the address of “Alley Pond Park & 76th Ave” is woefully inaccurate. The pin that shows up in Google Maps is at least **a little** closer but once you get there, there is nothing that guides you to exactly where the site is. No signs, nothing. So let me help. Once you get to the parking lot on 76th, walk all the way to the East side (where the Environmental Center is) then follow the pathway up and to the right. You’ll find the Farm on your right. It should be mentioned that the parking lot is a total mess and if you are coming at any point after 11am, good luck finding a spot. Most people end up parking illegally outside of the lines. Once we found where it was, it’s quite pleasant and cute. Don’t expect a true “Farm” experience here though. It’s really just a fenced in area of the park with a few animal pens (younger cows, alpacas, goats, sheep) that you can feed. The feed is just some heads of lettuce that they have for purchase at three price points based off of the size of head you want. I think they were $6-8 for one head. They also have a “Bunny Barn” with bunnies that you can get up close with and another area with some pigs, that apparently may have the tendency to bite, so you can’t get physically close to them. They have a simple selection of corn, hot dogs and other food items that are of basic quality. Don’t expect something special if you plan on eating here. It’s an outdoor setup so, boiled dogs it is! We went during the “Pumpkin Patch” event. The patch was another penned off area where they scattered some loose pumpkins around the floor and also placed some palette bins that were filled with pumpkins. They mostly were medium to small sized. Do not expect to get something larger. The Candy Hunt is not really a hunt at all, more so a “there is the candy, go get it”. See my photos. For some reason they try to do it in groups so the line can sometimes get a little long. Some other quick bullet points on what they have on site: - Plenty of picnic tables scattered about to sit and relax. - A few small inoperable tractors for the kids to climb up on to get cute photos. - A number of “selfie stations” that are hay bales in front of a scenic background, also an oversized chair. - A slide for the kids to play on (it’s pretty fast!) - Again, for the kids, what I’ll call a “corn pit”, which is like a ball pit except instead of balls, there’s corn kernels. They have a bunch of toys in there also. - A large bleacher seating area for live performances. When we went there was a ‘comedian’ telling kid-safe jokes. Cheesy, cute, dad-jokes. Audio quality was a little crummy. We personally did not have any issues entering but I can see how it might take some time as it didn’t seem that they had any sort of streamlined process of selling and accepting tickets. Every party must check in at the booth to get your separate tear-style tickets for the various activities within the site, such as the pumpkin patch or candy hunt. Bathrooms are just a row of porta-potties but they weren’t gross like you’re at a festival concert or a construction building site. Last note, it is in a park, so the ground is either grass or in some areas, wood chips spread into pathways. The wood chips, I would suspect, are to combat muddy ground situations after rain, but are a bit challenging to navigate with a stroller or walker (we had an elderly family member with us), so keep that in mind when you’re planning what to bring and where people with disabilities would be able to handle comfortably. Overall, I was not disappointed at all with the Farm, I just wasn’t blown away either. For what they’re charging for admission, it’s appropriate. If they were to go any more expensive, I would probably reconsider. It’s some good fun for the kids, I brought my 2 year old, and he had a great time. Check it out!

Great well kept farm with beautiful and super friendly animals. I bought my daughters for a day out in October for Halloween. The farm was beautifully decorated in a halloween theme. My girls were able to feed the alpacas, sheeps and pigs in the farm, they all behaved super friendly despite seeing so many people. Farm is well kept and the staff is super friendly with the children, even when they were on the pony rides. No complaints, we had a beautiful day that day. The ramp would be my single complaint, since we had strollers, made it difficult to carry it up and down to get to the playground they had installed for that day. Aside from that, glad we came to enjoy and see nature in all its glory.

Had a wonderful time with my family. Definitely a good place for children and family fun time .Good price to enter and for food.
