Ardenwood Historic Farm

This farm is actually quite big. There are some small animals（pig, chicken, rabbit, sheep, cow) and some flowers and plants. The tickets are very cheap. It is very suitable for children to come and see the animals and run around.

This place is the stuff field trips are made of. There are many exhibits with informative material about blacksmithing, milking cows etcetera. Usually peacocks are the first things I see when I first enter. They make sounds of a crying child and wander around freely. There are picnic tables and you can bring food and drinks in (the last time I checked). One of the sights to see here are the chickens. They have the fluffiest feathers and strut about speedily. The goats are pretty active too. The other highlights include the crops, a train, and the historical house. Very worth a visit if you are in Fremont.

The farm has a large area. We were at the pumpkin patch in October. This is a separate entrance. There was a high pyramid of straw, carts with hay and pumpkins, great for photos. It was very interesting to visit the house, it was open from 1 am to 2:30 pm. Many different events: a puppet show, making a doll from dry corn leaves, picking corn, dancing, music, etc. And there are also Train Rides. There is a place to sit.

Beautiful place! Super crowded though. Because kids and family were there to pick corn and pumpkins! We did the tour of the house. So many treasures and so much history! Will return on a quieter day to really enjoy the lush greenery and the impeccably kept belongings. A real blast from the past! Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

What a beautiful place to bring children and your family. It was fun to interact with the goats and chickens. There was a cultural dance event happening on Mother’s Day. There are plenty of spaces to bring a frisbee or toss a ball. The staff is friendly and the environment is clean. You can get food and drinks from the cafeteria if you are hungry after walking the large property. There are plenty of seats if you need a place to rest or want to watch and enjoy the tranquil environment. we will be back for Halloween as we heard. There are many fun activities to do with kids throughout the year.
