Forsythe Family Farms: prices, hours and what families should know
Last verified August 15, 2026
Forsythe focuses on outdoor play, animals, trails and agricultural learning rather than high-intensity rides.

Choose it when
- Families who value animals, trails and learning as much as playgrounds
- Children who prefer imaginative outdoor play to crowded festival programming
- Weekend visitors who want the scheduled wagon ride and farm educator
Important cautions
- Activities, hours and crops change through the season
- Admission is required for Farm’N’Fun and animal areas; picking containers are extra
- The terrain includes uneven working-farm surfaces
What the visit includes
Know what is included before you promise children a full farm day.
Two farm playgrounds provide room for active and imaginative play.
Farm animals, bunny cuddling and an educator make animal encounters more instructive than a simple viewing pen.
Walking trails, themed scavenger hunts and Tranquility Trail support a slower visit.
Weekend wagon rides generally run 10 a.m.–3 p.m.; corn-maze and pumpkin experiences arrive later in the season.
A realistic family plan
A smoother visit in three decisions.
- 1
Call for crop and activity status, especially when picking is the main reason for visiting.
- 2
On weekends, arrive before the wagon window becomes crowded and complete that fixed-time activity first.
- 3
Pair one picking container with playground and animal time rather than overbuying produce to extend the visit.
Conditions that change the day
Working farms are not controlled indoor attractions.
Forsythe says it strives to be accessible but cautions that some terrain is uneven. Call before arrival to discuss the specific route and current field conditions.
The farm market sells produce and seasonal items. Confirm the day’s food service and picnic rules before relying on lunch at the farm.
Wagon rides and field access are weather-dependent. Forest and farm paths can remain wet after rain.
For a required mobility, sensory, allergy or washroom accommodation, contact the farm before buying. Crop supply, animal access and outdoor activities can change without notice.
Price record
Seasonal numbers are snapshots—not permanent prices.
Pick-your-own containers and crops cost extra. Hours, admission and activities change with the season; call for current conditions.
The weekday admission is the stronger pure-play value. On weekends, judge the extra cost against whether your family will use the wagon ride and added programming.
