From the reviews
Great place for families to visit and enjoy the fall time festivities. They have a large petty zoo. The children can ride ponies. You can also buy crafts and also grab a snack. This is a priceless venue for children to have lots of fun. There is no charge to park. There is a small charge for the crafts and rides.
I came with my niece 3 times already. We love coming here. The staff are so friendly and great. It’s always a bit nerve wrecking having young children around animals, but the goats and other animals are really calm and great with kids. My niece and I have been coming since she barely started walking (10m-17m).
I have 2 grandsons that are almost 2 yrs old who love animals as much as I do. I would of given them 10 STARS if I could. It cost only $5 to enter and U get so much more from their kindness and welcoming hearts! Their animals are so clean and loving as the people who care for them!
I spent the day at Gilchrist Farm with my Granddaughter. Many fun activities for children! A fun Easter Egg Hunt for all ages! A giant slide, horse riding for children. Spring crafting and most importantly, my granddaughter’s favorite, the petting farm. Baby Chicks 🐥Baby Ducks 🦆 and Baby Goats!
Getting married at Gilchrist Farm
Gilchrist Farm comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Gilchrist Farm
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Gilchrist Farm — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
