we go there every year to get our pumpkins they have some of the best sugarbabies ever
For the third October in a row, my family enjoyed another great day at Summers Farm. We were surprised to see a few new attractions like the crawly spider web, super improved, super fast slides, the hay maze with the tricky right turns (plan to spend a good half an hour on it unless you are a genius) and the tasty lemonade and kettle corn stand. Our childrens favorites are the slides and the amazing pumpkin pillow. If you have never been, you have to go for two things--1. Jumping on the amazing pumpkin pillow which is and outdoor open air moon bounce that can hold entire families, several at time. 2. CIDER DONUTS--take these babies home and put them in your oven for 5 minutes on 350 and you will taste a little bit of heaven. my tip--Buy donuts first! they sell out by the end of the day. Have fun, it will take you all day to do it all.
We spent the day at Summer's Farm and it was great! Plenty of free parking on the premises. They have a pumpkin patch, hay rides, two corn mazes, two mini mazes, air cannons, petting zoo, the biggest moon bounces I've ever seen (one for the smaller kids and one for the bigger kids), multiple slides, corn cribs, and lots more. If you've got kids ... from 2 to ~12 ... they will love this place. It's very easy to get around with strollers and I assume it would be just as good for wheelchairs. I give this place an A+ for families!
We go to this farm every year and it is our favorite of the farm choices, This year they are offering their campfire packages during the day, as well as at night. We rented a campfire on a Sunday afternoon and invited the extended family for a fall day on the farm. It was wonderful. You get the campfire for 4 hours and they keep it going the whole time for you if you're away, and leave wood for you to throw on, if you're by the fire. Each site also has 2 benches by the fire and a picnic table and big trash can. I believe it was $55 total and you can bring your own food and drinks (no alcohol). The regular admission is additional, which is $10/person. We brought hot dogs, and smores makings and snacks and drinks. We also brought our extra foldable chairs. It was great having a homebase, that everyone could go back to in between activities. The younger kids LOVED the bouncing pillow. This year they added a second pillow, so the younger kids have their own and don't get knocked down easily. The corn maze is really good this year (the corn is really tall). There's also pig races, new mini golf, pumpkin cart ride (pulled by tractor), corn crib, apple cannon, duck water races, slides, bales of straw to climb on and various contests and goings on, including live music and many food choices. It was easy to spend several hours there. We had to drag our daughter home. As I said earlier, we love this place and having the campfire here really made it even more fun. I can see this becoming a family tradition each year.
I've been to a few pumpkin patches and hay rides, but Summers Farm Adventure has it down to a science. Very organized. Parking and ticket purchasing were no problem. There's plenty of activities for both the young and not so young. The corn maze is a great attraction. It's not just a walk around a maze, there's a mystery to solve and finding the clues was very entertaining. (I have to caution, the maze is large, so bring water with you and use the restroom before you start!). The pumpkin canyon was very entertaining as well (even though the dude operating it missed the target every time!). I loved the ducky water races! I could play with those rubber duckies all day. The baseball/football/basketball area was a lot of fun too. I loved how people waited their turn and didn't hog all the balls. Food was your typical fairground type: fried and lots of candy apples. I would recommend it for families with young children.
Went to summer farm on 10/20/13 to pick pumpkins and was not impressed at all. The pumpkins seemed to be thrown out in a weed field with very little selection.Hardly any were on the vine. I was really dissapointed what few pumpkins they had, they were not well cared for. Oh and 55 cents a pound? Id expect much better for that much. For as many people I saw going in and out I expected it to be a great patch, it was far from it. However if your looking for a fun place for your kids under 10 in Frederick, I'm sure they would enjoy the aactivities they have for them, all at an additional cost though. I'd highly recommend a drive out to wesminister MD and visit Baughers farm, I should've went back this year.
Great fun. Corn maze is too complex for the likes of me, I get lost. Pig races = family bonding. I ran around the farm once for a race, I was a good time but at the last moment a woman passed me and I didn't win... I wasn't close to winning but after she passed me I was one place farther from first place then I would have been otherwise. Love Summer's Farm!
My family and I try to go to Summers Farm every year for our fall experience. There are lots of activities for our very energetic children, such as horse rides, air pillows, mazes, petting "zoo" and long, slippery slides. We are also on a budget, so unfortunately some of the activities we don't do because of the extra costs but there is always something you can do regardless. The area is beautiful and the staff are very friendly.
We decided to check out this farm due to its large corn maze (14 acres). They have a long version and a short version. We decided to take the long road. Also while going through the maize, you can play the game of Clue and try to figure out which animal kidnapped Farmer Joe using what tool and where the kidnapping happened. That was so much fun, but boy is it tough! You get so lost wondering around and around looking for clues. Everyone in our party of seven loved it!!!!We also did the hayride and pumpkin patch, slid down the slides, petted the animals, shot apples from the blaster (which is so worth the $5 they charge!), jumped on the jumpy pillow, played tether ball, did the mini mazes, watched the pig races, stomped on the corn kernels, and so much more. We enjoyed every minute! I would highly recommend coming and spending the day here. There is a lot to do. Give yourself 4 or more hours. They are open from 10am to 10:30pm.
One of my neighbors had a birthday party for her son there. There was a lot to do, and it was quite fun, a little muddy, but very fun.
