We have been coming to Tiger Lily Farm almost every summer for the past 6 or 7 years. When the children were young, they loved milking and feeding the goats and going on the pony ride. Now that they are older we went on a trail ride this year. This is a great place for families. We will be back next year for sure.
Last year we just did the petting zoo, so this year we came back and did the trail rides. The horses were beautiful and friendly and were perfectly slow and steady for the inexperienced on the trail ride. The trail itself was beautiful and they even showed us a beaver dam.
Becky the guide was friendly and made us feel safe and comfortable.
The 11 year old I was with rated it "amazing" and "best day ever"
We also checked out the farm and the goats were very excited to see us as we were the first visitors of the day. They could not get enough attention.
We go here about twice a year, at Halloween and in the spring and summer. The place has always been rundown, which is astonishing since they charge so much for an entrance fee. The duck pond was full of green sludge, which is NOT normal. Yesterday, the border collie almost bit my hand off. It was unprovoked and gave no warning signs. I've worked with hundreds of rescue dogs and never had an issue. Even with abused and beaten dogs. If I hadn't reacted so fast I'd have had my entire hand bit. An unprovoked animal who bites without warning, is the worst kind. They're lucky it wasn't my toddler. When my child was 18 months, we went and one of the sheep head butted him. We do not enter that pen obviously. These people do not care about their farm, it is a business for them. They do not watch the animals or monitor how people treat them. I will never step foot near this place and I hope that dog is destroyed. Spend your money at another farm.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time petting all the animals. We spent around an hour there. We had a pony ride, goat milking and egg collecting to do. We had such a good time we (the grown ups) returned in the afternoon to go horse riding.
I would suggest being there first thing because they do get busy and they seem to stay busy all day.
Found it was quite pricey just to see a small handful of farm animal varieties. It is specifically geared towards younger children and therefore, parents shouldn't have to pay as much since all they do is stand and watch their kids run around.
Visited over Easter long weekend, so it was a pretty busy farm while we were there -- had the feeling of being a bit too busy though... way too many people and not quite enough space to put everyone (or their cars).
Friendly staff, and a good variety of animals to see... and of course, the pony ride :) Worth the stop, with exception perhaps on a holiday weekend!
