I was having a hard time knowing what to expect from the website and the few reviews I read. Attempting to describe our fun experience. We visited here early October so it was still a bit warm. There is a lot of walking involved if you want to see all of the cottages on the farm as you follow along a trail. There is a map you can take a picture of at the front but I didn’t find it super helpful as the numbers don’t map well to the various cottages / structures you see on the property. Take plenty drinking water. Each cottage you visit is setup with an 1800s theme. Old style living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen outside separated from the house, bathroom outside, wells, storage sheds buried half way under the ground. There are animal coups spread through the property. We visited close to Halloween so lots of pumpkins decorations. In short, there is a lot to do here if you like adventure and history. We didn’t do the narrated tour but I bet that 1.5 hour tour would be super Interesting. We passed on that assuming our 4.5 year old would want to deviate from the tour.. We plan to come back later in the month to experience pumpkin nights which happens each day of the week except Tuesdays. Sounds like a fun festival in the park with a lots of lights decorated across the park, food trucks and pumpkins carvings.

Nice day trip place. Several authentic structures around the property. Much larger then it first appears trails take you to the creek and some barns and a local native American camp set up. Some farm animals around, small gift shop/general store. Also offer workshops and their is a working blacksmith shop on site.

This place is a lot of fun to explore. Has a ton of houses and other older buildings to check out as well as a lot of walking trails. Seeing the longhorns was our favorite part of the farm.

We love this place. The staff are wonderful the houses, land, and animals make it a charming educational experience. They have a lot of great festivals and things out here too. Experiencing the old west and getting that more hands on knowledge really helps the kids understand history. Plus, after the Blacksmith heard my son was doing a report on Laura Ingalls Wilder, he made him a spoon in 10mins for him to add to his report time pod.

This was the perfect socially distant adventure. The general store had a few fun selections of snacks, books, and more. We had a chance to talk to some of the staff who shared some great stories with us. This cute property tucked in a quaint neighborhood felt like escaping the city, but without the drive. I loved getting a chance to learn and see some of the history of Texas, and Austin. While all of homes and displays were nice, my favorite part was the beautiful grounds and trail near Walnut Creek. The tall oak tree had such a great atmosphere, I could walk around there all day. What a nice escape. Recommend coming with a friend or two, bring good walking shoes, and a camera and explore.

My visit was during a school tour... it was a nice snippet into early Texas history that is close proximity to the city. They have a handful on homes/structures that show different levels of class, a beautiful dance hall and a few other building typical in a town square. There is a general store to get some old time candies, snacks and drinks. Also had a few Teepees and history of Indians that were once here. Even had some animals to look at (chickens, donkeys, horses, and Longhorns). Overall a nice easy tour.

We just loved this place so much!!! Animals are beautiful! It was very affordable. But the day we went it was a little slow. There was only one class going on, so I'm glad it caught the nephews attention: a Blacksmith workshop. They were making knives and tomahawks! So very cool. We loved all the animals and had a very nice time. Some things to add, more people dressed in appropriate time period clothing, teaching things like ice cream making, sewing, stacking wood, building a fence, egg gathering, lots of ideas, and people could sign up online for classes and pay small fees to do one or two, or buy a day pass to do all of them getting one or two free. Would be GREAT!!!

Very nice place, run by nice, welcoming, passionate and knowledgeable people. We really enjoyed a guided tour and picnicking! Not only for kids! Thank you

Pumpkin Nights is definitely amazing. Had a great time seeing the different stages they have up made with Pumpkins. Definitely be ready to take many pictures!

Awesomeness because that's a word. Be or be. Appreciate the field of energy the place offers to those whom entice the blessings brought upon the journey. #Austin #Fest #3/5/2022 #windgoddess #wind #weather #Sabado #Saturday #oreofried #yummy #information

Went out for the archery today. Awesome place, awesome instruction. Definitely want to go back out for the blacksmithing as well one day.

I took the Blacksmithing 1.0 with Ken and it was amazing! My young son was able to work alongside me and we had the best time. I definitely want to do more classes there.

Had such a great time here! I would go back in a heartbeat. Well-kept and the animals seemed very happy to be there. Staff was great as well. Highly recommend!

Voting with my wallet, will never come back here again. Sure, we live right down the street and have a 1 year old that loves the animals, but there are plenty of farms in and around Austin that don’t have absolutely horrible customer service. Shoutout to the completely unpleasant woman at the admissions desk who chooses not to treat her customers with trust and respect.

We had so much fun! Really great photo opportunities 🙂 it was so cool! My favorite was the under the sea part they had jellyfish made out of pumpkins! Very creative!!

Wonderful hidden gem, great history and preservation efforts, the volunteers were friendly too

There was insufficient food in the market section. The farm covers a very large area. It is impossible for the elderly to walk everywhere. I wish there was a trailer for the farm tour. Other than that, the historical houses were nice. 3 of them were closed. We couldn't visit them. We went to the office and paid for two adult entrance tickets. But many people did not go to the office and pay for the ticket.

Great location, Austin Celtic festival was nice. Rory was lovely! Just wish someone had figured out a way to get some real food there, rather than corn dogs and fritto pies!😉 The Irish wolfhound's were AWESOME!🐕

We had a great time taking our Girl Scout Troop for a tour of the property. Thom was great and very good explaining things to the girls.

My son and I had an amazing time during the blacksmithing 101 class. Ken is an incredible teacher - very patient and explains techniques thoroughly. Can't wait to take the more advanced classes!
