For anyone in the DFW area and looking for a great outing with your family, check out Mainstay Farm.They have all the traditional fall festival activities with a county fair feel. The staff was super friendly, welcoming and helped make our first visit there an amazing one.The music selection was perfect for the theme and filled every corner of the park without being loud.The food choices were the standard offerings at decent prices. We ended the evening visiting the gift shop and pumpkin patch where a helpful associate loaded our choice pumpkins and wheeled them to our car.Rating:

Always a fun place to visit! The owners work their tales off and are such down to earth, genuine people! You can usually find them working around the farm along with the staff. There are some improvements and additions this year that were a pleasant surprise. Bottom line - yes, its a bit pricey, but it is a super fun and relaxing holiday outing that is worth all the memories you will make!

I have been looking for a good farm like that I got used to go when I was in PA, this farm is AMAZING huge with lots of rides and fun activities to do we spent 4 hours and would spend more if we could.This is a must go farm in fall dont miss it.It is suitable for all ages (up to 12 years old).

My family has been coming here for many years and have always loved it. It’s been great watching them grow over the years into something amazing! We were pretty bummed this year when tree prices were way higher than last year, and they are no longer doing the $20 off coupon. Every time I’ve been before this year, they give you a coupon when you enter for $20 off your tree, but not this year. I would understand the no coupons, but no coupons on top of way higher prices was enough for us to purchase from Lowe’s. We still enjoyed all the other attractions, but our main reason for venturing out there is for the tree cutting experience. We are hopeful this is a change made only for this Covid impacted year, as we really love our tradition of choosing and chopping down a tree, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to pay $90 for a tree that costs $50 at Lowe’s.

Such a fun place! It takes quit a drive to get there from DFW but it definitely worth it! Fresh farm air, yummy burgers, wine, homemade ice-cream, and of course the favorite part for all kids are the rides! The only thing I wish they had is a map for the place, we had no idea there are more stuff in the back until one of employees told us. But we got a season pass when it was on sale, so we’ll be back to explore it again.

We loved this place tricycle races for kids and Adult. They have a nice and relaxing area near the “shell” gas station. They have the trampoline for kids and adult. If you go up the hill where the tube slide is, they have bigger like sort of 4wheeler bikes for tall people. This place was super fun for the whole family and our favorite part was the apple blaster. We will definitely come back this year.

Great for young to possibly preteen kids. Lots of slides, pedal go karts, cool maze, big bouncy thing. This year the food service was kinda slow, they definitely werent prepared for the crowd today, food wise, but still gave it 5 stars because that hasnt been our experience 2 other times. Good selection of pumpkins at reasonable prices. Some areas got a little crowded and most were not wearing masks but it was easy to distance from others except at the food lines. Wear comfy shoes for walking on rocky dirt paths.

Very well thought out experience. Tons to do. Wear comfortable shoes you will do a lot of walking. Good family fun. My daughter and her friends have loved it every year for the past 3 years. So glad we found this place.

Looks cool and the trees look awesome but if you show up on the weekend (or Black Friday) it’s almost $20 just to get in. There is no tree only entrance. I wish that had been more clear.

Surprisingly Expensive! However the farm was great lots of room to move around and easy access to photo ops. The animals were super friendly. The funnel cake and the pecan praline ice iceream was the best ive had. Come early to beat the crowd. They have a mini roller coaster and zip line. They serve wine no beer. Face painting is extra money. Everyone was friendly. Our kids had a blast.

Our Second time here! great entertainment. Plenty of activities to keep the little ones busy. Most of the people didn’t have masks but it was outdoors and you can always wear yours and move away from people is a big farm plenty of space so no big deal.

3 hours plus of fun and I had to drag my 2 yr old away. The sandpit area was his highlight. But everyone will find something to enjoy. Only negative is we should have gotten food earlier as it does get long round 1230 when we came back down the hill. Luckily we did dessert early so didnt need to do the long lunch lines ha.

This year it was okay. Weve had much more fun in years past. We started going to Mainstay about 15-16 years ago when all you had to pay for was the tree and goodies you purchased.For the price you pay ow for admission alone youd expect their activities to not be broken such as the water pumps in the littles area or so many of the pedal cars in the up hill area or janky swings out of service or missing all together. These should have been addressed before opening the holiday season admission fees.Overall it was okay. The kids sort of enjoyed themselves for the most part and they had multiple food options which was nice. Im not 100% sure if we will be back again next year though.

Such an awesome place for fall photos in the sunflower field and pumpkin house. So much to do you will definitely be here for a few hours. Great place for the whole family to have fun. Recommend to all.

I just drove 40 minutes to get here. Got to the farm and it was closed. When I purchased the tickets it said it would be open from 10am to 6pm today. I tried calling and no answer. No email notifying they would be closed. Waiting to see if they are going to give my money back since I can not come this weekend. Way too far of a drove to not send out notifications of closing.

This place has tons to do! An all around magical Christmas experience! Lots of activities to get the kids wore out! Also the food is delicious! The staff fits into the Christmas experience and extremely friendly and helpful! Xavier our hayride driver was very informative and a delight! They even let you cut your own tree!!! Reasonably priced all around. Worth every penny!

A great Saturday afternoon out in Cleburne. The Fall festive occasion brought us out 40 minutes south of Dallas along Highway 67 and 35W. Mainstay transformed their farmland to give us city folk a taste of the real outdoors and plus some. As you can tell by the pictures there were activities for everyone. Our family planned on two hours but left just before five hours, it was that big and fun. Bring some money - food and drink will cost you a bit (just like eating out) but worth the expense. Kids had the most fun. Pumpkins, face painting, food, Apple Blaster and souvenirs were extra, all other activities were included in the entrance fee. Good place for an afternoon out.

What a great day! Tons of activities and friendly staff. Definitely worth going but go early in the day. We got there at 11 and that was fine. Leaving at 4 and traffic was backed up down the road a ways waiting to park.

This farm is the best! There was so much to do: playgrounds, bounce blobs, carnival rides, a touring hayride....we could have easily spent all day out there. We look forward to coming back in the fall for even more activities.

My family went on a spur of the moment trip and it was worth the drive. We had so much fun, but I didn’t prepare for a full day of activities so we didn’t get to see all of the attractions. There’s enough to do for all ages. Lots of photo opportunities for moms and lots of dirt for the kids, ha. We didn’t try any food but we did get a scoop of cinnamon ice cream that was really good. They have spray sanitizer stations set up all around which was great. An actual hand washing station too. Will definitely have to go again for Christmas time!

It was a great experience for my family. As a dad of 3 boys under 11 it had things to do for all of them. Including me with that apple cannon! We will definitely be returning when the weather gets a little colder.

We took our grandkids there today and they loved it! Slides, bouncing things,zip lines for kids, lots for kids to do!Funnel cakes and fresh kettle corn with a glass bottle coke and Dr Pepper is pretty hard to beat. Definitely worth the time and money.

Perfect day for the family. Picturesque little farm, made for great senior pics and family fall pics of the kids. We will definitely be back again next year!

We drove 1.5hrs stayed for 4hrs and definitely got our money’s worth. The price of admission is well worth it!!! There are so many things to do as a family! For those who complain about admission, think about it this way you spend more going to a movie or eating out then having an insane amount of outdoor activities!!! Pumpkin prices are great!!!!! Will definitely return in the following seasons.

I have been coming here for the last four years and my family usually enjoys it. This time around the low rating is because of how this business is being ran in the middle of a pandemic. I was very disappointed to see they are not requiring people to follow the recommendations of wearing masks and are not enforcing social distancing at all. I only saw one employee (out of the three standing there) spraying the hands of people getting on the roller coaster. The other two grown men/employees were too busy making kids wait in line so they could ride the roller coaster and film it. They did this three times that I saw. They made kids switch seats because they wanted a certain seat. The kids said they didnt want to move so the guys promised theyd put them in the video. I had to ask people several times to back up and give us space since there was nothing indicating such. I did ask about the masks when I walked in because I noticed all the folks coming out without one. I was told coming in that its however you feel. No paper towels to turn off the faucets by the bathroom so I left mine running and told the kids with us to do the same. Defeats the purpose of washing your hands then touching the same dirty faucet. I also saw no wiping down of the inner tubes or any other attractions. They only had spray bottles with I dont know what at various places. I used the entire bottle of sanitizer while we were there. Plus- The live band was good as well as the music on the speakers.

Had a great time with the kids. Lots for them to do a good value for the money. Take your kids especially if they are younger they will love it

We had a great time today at Mainstay Farm!! They have so much to do, and we were so pleased with everything that was included with admission price. Very reasonable, which we were so happy about! They do have a few things that cost extra in the park, but so much is included, its probably worth the extra charge for the few things they have! Food is a little expensive, but nothing too extravagant, especially for a park like this. Everything is pretty reasonable. They have tons of activities for kids and adults of all ages! They have plenty to do for really little kids (I brought my 19 month old), including baby zip line, slides, rubber duck races, animals, the sand dig sight, the Yeehaw express, and more! Then SO much for bigger kids as well, like the big tubin slide, the roller coaster, the bouncing pillows (though my little had fun on that as well), petal karts, hay jumping, big tree fort and play area, and more! Overall, a great experience. We had a ton of fun, it was well worth the price of admission (which I dont say often) and great photo opportunities with kids and family!If I had one critique, it would be that its difficult for strollers or people in wheelchairs, with walkers, etc. to navigate the park, as there is very little true pavement. Its mostly grassy fields, graveled roads, etc, which can be hard on the stroller wheels or anyone with any kind of handicap necessities. It might be beneficial to have some more paved or rubber areas or walkways for that reason.

Lots of fun things to do and see round here! Kids especially will love the rides and play areas. The food is delicious and at a fair enough price for a family packed place to explore.

Im not surprised for the negative comments, you cant satisfy everyone! My first personal experience with the family was really good. Admission price was fair; The food was great, the attractions that were open were great, and the owners were sweet. My 3 year old and the family loved the trampoline and the hay ride. We will definitely go this fall. Thank you for your hard work everyone! Really looking forward!

Awesome place. Well worth the price which is cheaper if purchased online. Kids never got bored, neither did I (the grandma)!

Awesome set up with lots to do for younger kids!

This was a beautiful place. The hospitality was AMAZING. Must try the Watermelon Lemonade!!! Cant wait to go back!!!

We traveled all the way from Garland , Tx and all i can say it was worth the drive 100% the kids had a blast! The food was amazing! Definitely will be coming back again!

We went Friday from 5-9. Took 7 kids ranging in age from 5-12. They had a blast! Definitely coming back.

My Daughters ages 4 and 2 had a blast!!! The prices are descent and theres soo much to do!! Their employee who drove us to learn about the Christmas trees and the Bees was really knowledgeable, i learned a lot! The goats and donkeys were soo cute!! The history of how this Farm came to be is really nice! They have chickens, mazes, a huge jumper kids can enjoy some time on, a tree house and they have beautiful sunflowers!! Seriously they have lots to do and my kids enjoyed every hour of it!! Their food prices were a bit expensive but it makes sense, their watermelon was super fresh and tasty. It was really hot tho so bring hats, sunblock, inset repellent and LOTS OF WATER!!! Will come back for sure!!

It was our first time there and the kids had a blast. I would definitely recommend people to visit

What a beautiful place for your family and children and grandchildren we had a wonderful time :) A special thank you to the owners and all of the people that help make it special .May god bless each and everyone you .

Needs more places to refill drinks... but a great time for the kids... cant wait to go again in December

There were so many ways to stay busy. What a great experience for all. Great food too. Live music.

We had so much fun visiting mainstay farm, the owner is very welcoming and kind. He told us about his farm story through the hay ride. And little informative presentation about honey bees.Me , my husband, and my son we all enjoyed the activities. The farm is big and well maintained. Everything was awesome and people are happy there. Admission includes almost everything.Farm honey is delicious Definitely recommend you to visit!!

Wonderful place with friendly staff. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent time!!we came at night, I think if you come in the early evening will be better!

We had a ton of fun! Great place for families of all ages.

Lots of fun activites for the kids, even with all this covod stuff. We felt that there was plenty of room and things to do. He loved feeding the animals!

Great entertainment for the price. Plenty of activities and events to choose from. The kids had fun for hours.

Great place for everyone ,lots of fun,Wine is top notch ,my little ones and us loved , two thumps up.

I did not see any staff wearing masks not even people selling food. They do not require masks, they just have some sanitizer stations places. Yes its an open area but there are people everywhere. I thought since Texas had a law to wear masks they would require it as well but I was wrong. We ended up leaving in 30 minutes.

This place was pretty amazing. They had a ton of things to do for children of all ages. They have lots of delicious food, a bit pricey but not terrible. They have a massive playground close to the mazes that kids can play at for hours.They had a hay ride, two mazes, a few different zip lines, different slides, swings, animal events, bouncy bubble things... (it’s a massive tramp for many people), will definitely go back next year

Kids enjoyed it, but quite pricey as tickets, food and drinks add up quickly.

Great family day fun. Make sure you plan to spend a while there as there is a lot to do for the kiddos.

Its been years since I have been.. fun different things to do!

Didnt feel welcomed people were staring my family down. We are black and we were in a prodeminently white countyFood was cold not as advertised on site..but kids had fun, and thats all that matters..but will never go back

Well... this place was crazy good!! An hour drive from my house but so worth it. Lots of stations to visit. Marshmallow roasting (yes one lil one had some drop on his hand and was burnt... open fire, giant sticks, marshmallows....), hay ride, lots of play equipment, giant sandbox loaded with John Deere toys, 100ft tube slide, giant hay bales to climb and much more! We brought our lunch for a school field trip but did see others with food from a snack bar. It was a great school trip!

Great place for family time its hot outside and long lines but in the lines they give out ice water and so much fun for kids and adults I reccomend it for a family

If you dont have kids, I dont think its worth it. It also feels very touristy when I was expecting it to feel more hometown farmy. I also feel like they should be growing more varieties of trees. Having grown up on a Christmas tree farm, there are quite a few varieties that can survive this climate and I just feel thats a missed opportunity. Some things are set up super well, so Im not knocking the whole farm. It just wasnt what I was hoping for.

Great time for family. Wear comfy shoes and go early.

Our visit is always fun, but they need lights outside for when it gets dark.

Love this place so much. The owner is incredible. So many fun things to do! We go back all the time and will continue!

I felt like the price was high...over $100 for 5 of us. That being said we had a very nice time and it was a very unique place with lots of fun thing for the kids. The bathroom area was very smelly. The popcorn is amazing literally the best kettle corn on earth.

Great place to spend some time with your loved ones.

No pumpkin patch at this pumpkin patch. Just a store full of expensive pre picked pumpkins. With that said, my 4 and 14 year old had a blast.

Way over priced! My wife, our three young kids and I went and admission was almost $130 (kids are 3, 5 &7). Spent another $50 on 5 popsicles and 5 hot waters. Pumpkins are ~$25 a piece. It was a $300 day that was spent mostly in lines. Only stayed two hours because the kids begged us to leave.

This place is amazing! Awesome place for kiddos.

I came out to this place to be with my kid and his class today for their field trip. I’d say there’s a decent assortment of different activity stations to keep the kids interested and having fun.I thought the staff hosted pretty well. They know kids and really focused on getting some instructions through those collective “listening ears”. I think with basic campfire safety and help from the other parents, we were successful in getting the kids to roast marshmallows without setting anything on fire .From the hayrides, to feeding the goats, and just plain running around and tackling the huge uphill playground areas, I think it did the job. These kids had a blast and it’s all that matters to me.

Nice place. Big area with several attractions for kids

Our 8 year old had a decent time with the many free attractions, but I dont see us going back again next year. The main issue is that it just didnt seem worth the admission price. Even buying our tickets online at a very modest discount it still cost nearly $60 for the three of us. Mainstay has lots of food and drink options, but again expect to pay prices on par with the state fair, for example a 32oz lemonade is $6.50. On the plus side all of the staff were very friendly and the large slides and activities at the top of the hill were fun.

They said online the Sunflowers opened sept 25 and they didnt have any. Thats the main reason why I wanted to go. The food is over priced. The guy at the food stand sneezed on his hands and didnt even sanitize them afterwards. The staff were super friendly though which was great.

Had a great with the family. Fun for everyone

First time here and it was nice. Thought there was more to do but maybe due to Covid there wasnt a lot going on. Either way it was a nice little drive. Sunflowers were huge.

The food was really overpriced and it was all old and ready made. There was also no sunflowers as advertised... for the price it really isn’t a good choice.

Great place for kids! Loved the farm animals. So cute. Will return again.

Great place to take the family and take great photos.

Awesome!!! We had a wonderful time!!! Cant wait to come back for xmas!

Great day out for the Kids and family photos.

LOVE this place! My 16 and 11 year old had a blast. We were there 4 hours and didn’t get to do everything. Worth the cost of admission. Eat before you go though. Food prices were worse than the State Fair or AAC.

This place is a lot of fun. There is a ton to do. Several zip lines, slides, mazes, bouncing pads, and bikes on a track. They also have a tubing hill, play ground, hay ride, hay climb, sand pit, animals, giant potato launcher, a swing ride, places to eat and get snacks and drinks. Can be a little pricey but includes a decent amount. Your kids will fall asleep on the way home from being so worn out lol! On busy days it can take over an hour to stand in line and get your food. And the food is mediocre. If they could fix this then I would give 5 stars.

Wow! This is going to be a new family tradition every year. We had a blast. There is so much to do: jumping and running on hay bales, playing in the sand, revolving swings, black tube 100 ft slide, 3 story playground (plus other playgrounds), mazes, large teeter totters, tractor ride, train ride, cut down your own tree or just walk through the trees, tree swings, 3 places to do go karts, and the kids favorite: tubing down a large white slide. We have small kids and they loved it. Usually we can only stay in one place for an hr before they start to lose it but we spent almost 3 hrs there, only leaving since it was nap time. Would recommend!

Last year (2017) was our first time here just after thanksgiving. We were looking for a real tree and saw this place was nearby. We had a great experience and our Fraser fur lasted longer than we expected. We returned again this year to pick out another one. We purchased tickets online (you have to pay to get in) and saved just a few dollars instead of paying there. We each received a voucher for a discount on a tree. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and very helpful in picking out a tree, wrapping it and helping put it on our truck.My nephew and family had fun with all of the things Mainstay has to offer. I definitely recommend families coming to spend the day having fun and picking out a tree together.

Great value! Lots to see and to do.

It is a wonderful place to spend time with family and friends. The kids and us had a blast. The facilities are beautiful and clean. The staff is great, food was good and the activities will surely keep the kids entertained. Good old country fun!!

This is my first time back in a couple of years. They have definitely stepped it up! So many new attractions! I brought my mom, 6 year old and my teenage siblings. We all had a blast and played on everything with my son! :-)

We had a really great time! My kids 3 & 5 absolutley loved everything they saw! Totally worth $11 bucks a person. Didnt have to pay for anything besides food and drinks. The watermelon was PERFECT. I also had the watermelon wine chiller and it was delicious. My boys favorite thing was the red baron swing next to the texas tubing hill & the sand dig area. Ill be coming back forsure September, to check that out when its not so hot! Even with a few things closed there were still lots to do!

My son absolutely loved it! Great place for kids to visit

I think is the best place for bring the family

Went there with my grandkids today and WOW what a great place to take them. They loved it all. Its a great place to go for the day.

Such an amazing place to be fun for the entire family

It looks like a fun place to visit

Really great place for kids and families!

We had a blast today at the farm! So many activities & the kids loved it. It was also a very safe environment because it wasnt open to the public. I felt comfortable letting the kids play freely

Wouldve been a 4 but its not advertised that the zip line is gone and the tube slide is limited to 1 person at a time.

Extremely nice staff ! Disappointing in things to do! Roller Coaster out of service. Tubing Hill only goes half way then you have to walk down Several attractions closed . May try again in the Fall.

This place was off the chain great experience for the kids all ages

All day fun for the whole family!

Just got home from my sons kindergarten field trip to Mainstay farms. I cant say enough positive things about it. My son had so much fun and their trees are stunning. I will definitely be going there next year for my Christmas tree!

Awesome Family Spot!!!

This place is so fun for kids. Had a blast with my girls scout troop.

Mainstay is a great place to go with the family. Lots of games and areas for kids 2 and up, and great food! The layout is a bit weird, with games and areas not really sectioned together for kids of similar ages, and not many signs to help give directions. Overall, still great place to go!

Went on a field trip today! It was awesome and I am glad I went. The staff was wonderful and kind. There was enough fun, animals, and places to purchase food to eat. The bathrooms were so clean. I want to return back on a weekend!

Such a fun time!! They even added some new games/attractions this year! Little tractor/train ride, big hay ride, awesome wooden maze, lots of little bikes for kids to ride, slides of all sizes. They sell food theyre and now they have a taco food truck and fresh squeezed lemonade. Your kids will be worn out and so will you but in the best way possible :)
