    Excellent family farm outing for families! Smaller children are sure to appreciate the amenities. There are animals (obviously), a park and small trails, playstructures and basketball. The buildings are well decorated and children-oriented. There is a small restaurant offering basic fast food and ice cream. The prices for admission and in the restaurant are reasonable. I could go on, but better if you just go visit yourself!

    Great place to visit with kids, learn about animals, feed baby goats, and enjoy amazing play structures. The farm has all the common farm animals (goats, sheep, cows, horses, donkeys, rabbits, chickens, and pigs), as well as peacocks, llamas, and deer. There are lots of goats on the farm, and in spring they have baby goats that visitors can feed. There are feed dispensers inside the goat barn, so make sure to bring quarters. If you don’t have any quarters, you can get them at the ticket kiosk when you enter the farm. The owners have put a lot of effort and imagination into creating fantastic play structures. There are lots of toys around and real farm machines turned into play spaces. There is also a train (well, a tractor, really) ride every hour. Kids love the ride, and parents get a chance to learn about the history of the farm and the community around it. They have a cafe where you can buy hotdogs, chicken nuggets, sandwiches, fries, and ice cream. There is also a small gift shop and a farm museum full of really old farm machinery and tools. Tickets cost $12 per person. Kids under 2 do not need tickets.

    Tons to do with the little ones. My girls are 21 months and 4 years old and had a blast. From the animal petting, feeding, playground, old barn museum, train ride and chicken show, they were enjoying themselves from being to end. There was even space to have a break; bring a lunch/snacks and picnic blanket. We went on a Sunday morning and it wasn't busy.

    Very cute children farm! Family owned farm, lovely staff. Animals are adorable. Playground for kids are great, very spacious and if your child loves vehicles then this is a great space for them! Only criticism is to perhaps have a different pricing for adults and children as it could get pricey for larger families.

    Nice place, cute animals, friendly staff. Plenty of goats and sheep to pet and feed (bring coins to purchase feed for the goats). Lots of play structures for the kids, and even a basketball net for them to practice their shots. There’s a picnic area with benches and it’s covered so you can bring your own food and enjoy with the family. I wish the restaurant had a bit more selection, but having the option of bringing your own food/drinks is fantastic. There’s also a train ride offered at certain times. Drop by, the kids will have a great time.

    A great place for kids and families. They have such a cute infrastructure and dynamic space. Plenty of space for kids to play. Really big which means you can easily spend half a day there just exploring everything. Your kids won't be bored, guaranteed. Would def revisit this place multiple times.

    Valleyview was a lovely place to spend a weekend morning walking around with a child. While the little one was, admittedly, more excited about the play structures than most of the animals, a great time was had by all! Really great setup as long as you don't have mobility issues. The different animal enclosures, play structures, etc. are all spread over a wide area, which means less crowding and more room for kids to be free and run around. The play structures are terrific. Any kid remotely interested in play structures will be in heaven. There are numerous structures with different activities and features - plenty to discover! The animals seem to be well cared for, which is always a key concern with places that invite the public to view their animals. The animals are also quite friendly, and animal loving kids (and adults) will love getting up close and personal with new furry friends. There is a 'train' ride (carts pulled by a tractor) that lasts around 5-7 minutes and is included in the admission price. More fun, and it's a neat way to see more of the surrounding area. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the cost. The price of admission was the same for children 23 months and up as it was for adults. I'm not sure if this is pandemic-only pricing, but it makes visiting with a large family less attractive. I'd take children 8 and under and expect them to have an absolute blast, but I don't think the older kids would get enough out of it to justify the cost (until they are older and have more interest in simple pleasures). Visiting in the spring is even more exciting, with baby animals all around!

    My 7 yo's birthday party here was a blast! Kids of all ages: from 2yo to 11yo loved it - especially the little baby-animals and the train. All adults were happy too - places to sit and relax in the sun while kids run wild! The party room is very cozy and decorated. We did bring some sandwiches, veggies and fruits to add to the hot dogs provided and it was just fine. Heather, the hostess is very relaxed and welcoming and great to talk too.

    A good farm for kids to play at and spend few hours. The food is not bad plus they sell lots of healthy snacks. U can bring your own food and drink to have a little picnic. We really enjoyed our time👍❤️

    We went yesterday to Valleyview Little Animal Farm. Our daughter is 1 year old and is hard for us not to be late to places. We arrived after the time we had reserved and the person at the entry was super understanding and let us in. 🫶 The place is full of attractions and stimulus specially for young kids. Lot of friendly animals to meet. There are a lot of creative signs warning to be careful. Safety first. There was one really funny: the real story, these are real animals, with real teeth, so be really careful. 🐴 They have a space with sand and a lot of trucks and shovels to play with. Our daughter loved it. All the slides and swings are super fun and with this rustic look that makes great pictures and allows kids to interact with natural materials.🛻 The Porky and his Peeps show (starts every half an hour) was very funny and instructive. Be aware, the fence has two buttons to activate the animals between shows, the one of the right activates the cow. After enjoying the chickens for a while, our daughter got scared of the cow mooing😅 The farm museum has a lot of interesting items and information. We played Checkers on a giant board they have. The train was not working when we were there. The cafeteria has very good service and food. We tried delicious chicken nuggets and fries 🍟 The gift shop is disposed in a very beautiful way and has cool items. There is a box with clearance products. Our daughter grabbed a book from there. They also have very cute Valleyview Little Animal Farm t-shirts, the smallest size is 2T. We got one in red for our little girl 👕 This is a very good place to spend time with the family and specifically for older kids. We will definitely come back. Thanks

    Took my Grandson and daughter here today. What a fantastic little farm. So much to enjoy. Some Covid protocols in place. You must wear a mask to enter all inside areas, but can leave the mask off for outside areas. It is best to call and book ahead of time to purchase tickets. There are two time slots, one in the morning from 9 till noon and the other is from 12:30 pm till 4pm. ( I believe). There are so many outside play areas for the children and so much to enjoy. Lots of goats, cows, horses, chickens and a variety of other animals. There are several barns to enter to have a look back at machinery, and a slew of other fascinating items to see. Trust me, your child will not be bored. They have a ride through the outer farm for about 30 ppl at a time(approx.) There is plenty of clean washrooms and a souvenir shop, along with a place to buy ice cream, water and a few other snacks. I'm leaving out a lot, but this is a great place to visit with the children, you won't be disappointed. I'll post some picture from our afternoon. Cheers Enjoy! And Thank you Valleyview for an exceptional time here.

    It’s my only experience on a farm, so I don’t have anything to compare with. We’ve visited this farm twice this year. Kids love animals, playgrounds and the train ride. Prepare quarters to get food for goats, so children could feed them! Corn maze was a fun autumn activity! As for me, I wish the train ride were longer, there are so many things to see there. Also, I expected that kids would have a chance to look closer at some farm plants, like a small garden with corn, beans etc to get more educational experience. That’s the only reason I gave 4*.

    nice little place to be with toddlers and young kids. The little farm area is where toddlers seem to enjoy the most. It would be nice to see one or two staff assistanting with whatever required. Train ride was nice & all of us got down and kind of lined up but no body cared to show the way out until one of us approached the closed exit barrier to leave. Overall it has been good value for money

    Lots to do. Reasonable price. Free parking. Not too far out of the city. Animal areas are pretty clean. Lots of stuff for kids to do. Toys, tractors, play structures. It is also open on holidays so good for families looking for something to do. 10$ per adult and they take cash, credit, debit

    Always such a fun experience here. Staff are so friendly and the sights and animals are great. Some very fun activities as well as an animal puppet show and lots of places to climb outdoors. Snack bar was open with a nice ice cream selection. Lovely afternoon here. Simple to book tickets online too. Thanks!

    Very nice for little kids, got them to meet farm animals like goats, sheep, ponies, horse, peacock, ducks and cows. Also an enjoyable journey on the train through corn fields was the highlight. The whole farm is kind of U shaped and has a lot of play structures for the kids. It also has a pre-recorded show for kids about animals like hens, pigs and cows which runs every 30 min. The farm also has a small cafe and a gift shop.

  • 5/5 Brian P. 1 year ago on Google • 77 reviews
    Great spot for young kids, tons of things to crawl on, in, or play with! Also they have a short "train" ride through a corn field that the kids seemed to really love. There's coffee and drinks and some café style foods on site and they have a picnic area if you bring your own food. Our son loved his visit.

  • 4/5 Leo M. 8 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    A fun place to take kids. Our 6 and 8 year old grandsons really enjoyed seeing the animals but I think they had even more fun on the play structures.

  • 5/5 Erica J. 2 years ago on Google
    My 4 year old had so much fun! Lots of space to run around and play, COVID measures taken seriously so the indoor activities aren't too crowded, didn't have to wait too long to do anything including the train ride. Staff is very friendly as well! Animals were friendly and came up to the fences to interact with us. It was a great experience!

    Amazing place for family and kids!

  • 5/5 Clare J. 2 years ago on Google
    We have been coming to Valleyview Farm since my older son was a little toddler. It's perfect for kids aged 0-5. It's a good size with lots to do but not overwhelming for little ones. My kids especially like the large area with lots of different play structures and old farm vehicles to climb on. My kids still love the tractor train ride that is a highlight of every visit. The gift shop is also really beautiful with thoughtfully chosen items. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Kayleigh W. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a very great time. All the animals were taken care of properly. A little concerned about how many flies the mini cow had in the goat barn, but I think that’s normal. My 10 month old loved to see all the animals, and the teeter totter was his favorite. Will be back’

  • 5/5 Heather G. 2 years ago on Google
    The best time! We had to reschedule because of bad weather and there was no problem; Covid protocols were in place and we felt very safe; lots of stuff to do for the little ones; the animals were adorable! We are definitely coming back again!

  • 5/5 Jeeva T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for kids and adults that like to be kids at times! I’ve always drove by this place but it never looked “attractive”, but I was wrong. Great price too! Keep up the great work!

  • 5/5 Fulya A. 2 years ago on Google

    Always great to be here. Our daughter loves this place. The tractor-train ride, the farm animals, slides and the cafeteria are all amazing.

  • 5/5 Nikoleina C. 1 year ago on Google
    Kids had a wonderful time! They had a great time at the park and feeding the animals. It was a very good experience overall, we will go back for sure!

  • 5/5 Nuwan D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice farm to visit with your kids. My 18 month old enjoyed the visit a lot. Staff were super polite and always smiling.Super clean place. We will visit y'all again.There were baby goats, Pigs, Cows, Horses, Ponies, Donkeys, Rabbits, Phesents, Peacocks, Alpacas, Sheeps, Deers and Goats of unusual sizes were in the farm. The farm has a large play area as well. The 200 year old barn was a museum itself and lots of antiques were in various parts of the farm. Very educational for kids who love historical stuff. Suggestion to the management - If possible , try to put local dairy products available for visitors. Ex - Honey, cheese, Fresh milk etc .

  • 5/5 Kevin A. 1 year ago on Google
    We decided to take my daughter here and we were pleasantly surprised. Although it is not the biggest place it does have heart because they have alot of rescues. Will come back again

  • 5/5 Tracey L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is such a great way to spend a day with your grandchildren!!! We packed a picnic and spent 4 hours here. Grandchildren are ages 3-5. They loved the many play structures and feeding the baby goats!!

  • 5/5 Tanavush I. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely & cute experience for my little one. She enjoyed the day spent at the farm. There are so many activities & animals.

  • 4/5 Jack R. 9 months ago on Google
    Super fun place for little kids!! The only thing I’d say it’s missing a little zing to keep everyone more awake. They’re animals seem to be in really good shape and healthy although I feel like, and this is my opinion, that they should have more animals and more animal interactions. The price is right, can’t complain there, the tractor ride is short but fun for the kids. I will probably be back in a few years hopefully they get more things going for everyone as it’s a really fun place to go to and the concept is great.

  • 5/5 Niveditha M. 9 months ago on Google
    Awesome place to spend a day with kids new experience and learning for them ... I visited with my 5 yr old daughter she njoyed it.... Peacock's was her favourite one .... Feeding goats and play area was designed differently they charged 27$ for me and my kid I felt worth to spend a day

  • 5/5 Enas A. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ingrid M. 9 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Kids loved it. I loved it. Tons of playing areas for the kids and rest areas in the shade. Picnic area is available to bring your own lunch. There’s a cafeteria with very friendly staff in case you don’t bring lunch/snacks. Many farm animals but the favourite was the little barn animals where we could feed the goats and pet them (bring enough quarters).

  • 4/5 Shelly P. 8 months ago on Google
    There was way more to the farm than we had anticipated. The animals are well cared for and there are lots of neat play structures. Some of the playground equipment is a little weathered but still fun with appropriate parental supervision. I really liked the little rest areas throughout the property which offered shade on a super hot day. Unfortunately we missed the train time but the little ones had a great time. Definitely going back.

  • 5/5 Roy S. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice little place to take the kids in the afternoon and enjoy animals up close. Note last call for train is at 3pm.

  • 5/5 Josh W. 6 months ago on Google
    Cutest little farm! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here. Most of the animals are very friendly and actively seek human interaction, which was lovely. The goats will be the joy of your day, that's for sure. So cuddly! Remember to bring quarters so you can feed the babies inside the barn, and get their adorable little licks! Will definitely be going back.

    Brought my daughter today and she had an absolute blast. The last time I was here I was probably a little older than her. It was great to experience it all over again. Everyone at the farm was extremely friendly and helpful. She loved every minute of being there! We will be back again!

  • 5/5 Alecia D. 4 months ago on Google
    We hosted a birthday part here recently for a 7 year old, unknowingly on the last day of the season, but it was still great. It was an amazing venue, lots to do, fair cost, and friendly staff. So many unique playgrounds and the kids never got bored. Would definitely do this again.

    We were there for the full 2.5 hours and it wasn't enough! Lots of personal space. The kids had a great time especially since they rarely had to wait in line! The only other comment is they are not stamping cards this year.

  • 5/5 John D. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot. Plenty of farm animals and play structures to keep the kids entertained. We brought a picnic and enjoyed next to the donkeys in the shade. Overall a great three hours of play for $10/adult.

  • 5/5 April S. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a blast at Valleyview Farm. Our grandson enjoyed the animals and the play areas and tractors! Very clean. We will be back again!

  • 5/5 nancy m. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a wonderful morning at the farm with our 2 year old granddaughter this week. It’s a toddlers paradise.....with everything they could want. The animals, playstructures, puppet show and old machinery are all amazing. The morning flew by! We also appreciated the feeling of being close to something NORMAL in this crazy time. Thanks so much.

  • 5/5 Tarek B. 3 years ago on Google
    This farm is one of the best destinations for families and groups with children, the program has a number of quavering about animals and the farm live, including a your in the fall train to discover the fields. The children can watch the Muppet show and see, feed and get closer to farm animals. A seatinglseating is also available for snacks. Enjoy the farm.

    Wonderful experience! Kids loved it. A nice place in Ottawa for kids to visit & family day out.

  • 1/5 James S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place for kids to have a fun EXCEPT that structure in a photo of shed with 6 posts is UNSAFE anymore and falling down (can be dangerous for kids). The owner has enough time to fix it. This is why it is one star now.

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 3 years ago on Google
    Roosters, bunnies, goats, ponies and more. A great place for your younger child. A good price and a tractor ride.

  • 5/5 Bram B. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place to spend a few hours with the kids. Lots of animals, both live and models, a fun little train ride and a fantastic playground. The biggest issue is getting the kids out of there!

  • 4/5 yaramarie p. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a really good time with the kids. I found it to be a little expensive, but I know tgis maintains the animals and staff so it was okay. The "train" ride was cute, i was expecting a little longer but it was cute for the kids!!! Beautiful feilds and areas! Had a great time with family and friends!

  • 5/5 Eric C. 3 years ago on Google
    Went there for a family outing during labour day long weekend, and had lots of fun! Lots of things for kids to climb on, good variety of animals (lots of goats, no sheep). There were displays of old farm equipment, which was not a focal point for our young daughter but if you're into that I can see how it would be cool. Unfortunately due to Covid, there is no food on site but I believe you're allowed to bring a picnic. We really enjoyed the experience overall and appreciate the measures taken to prevent the spread of Covid.

  • 5/5 Ayam A. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice little farm, reasonable price and friendly staff. The animals there look happy and healthy. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. We've been there over 10 times and the kids love it and have fun everytime. Looking forward to our next visit. Please open back the ice cream shop!

  • 5/5 Caitlin V. 3 years ago on Google
    We absolutely love Valleyview Farm. There are lots of animals to see and everything is spread out. The best part for the kids is the variety of play structures, tractors and wooden houses/trucks to play in. Lots of trees and chairs too. Can't beat it for a morning outing.

  • 4/5 Ricki A. 4 years ago on Google
    My grandkids had a wonderful time. Only wish the train ran more often. We didn't get a chance to go on it as the kids had to get some lunch and go home for a nap.

  • 5/5 Minh T. 4 years ago on Google
    Great for toddlers. Easily spend 2-3 hours here for very reasonable price. Mostly small horses, goats, and donkeys. They have some peacocks and chickens too. There is a little barn where you can feed goats, which is the highlight of the experience. Apart from that, good for a walking with your kids and exploring 'farm life'. We go once a year and never regret it. Keep expectations mild though as this is not a full scale commercial operation.

    Dirty, very poorly build . To be honest 10 mins there is enough, but stayed there with a tour group for another, looking at animals that are very not lively, to say the least...
