A magical place right at my doorstep. This will be a place to remind me of growing up on the family farm. Great place for families.

This is a fun place to take small children for up to a couple hours. They have chickens, a cow, a pig, mules and/or horses and goats for the family to view. The play structures are great for little kids. Some farm toys are provided. The barn is a nice feature for photos or a small event. The parking lot is paved and the restrooms are pretty clean.

This place is incredible. Are you kidding me with all these animals? Excellent hike.

There is a lot to see and do. The play area for kids is great. The staff is friendly and the animals are well taken care of. I recommend for a day for something to do especially if you like the country side, want a nice place to picnic or go nature hiking. Also recommended for school field trips, however I would call a head first. Also their rest rooms are clean and well stocked with vending machines if you want a snack or drink.

A very family friendly place! With scavenger hunts, animals to see, and a park to play on, the kids definitely enjoyed themselves. Theres also picnic tables and walking trails, so you can plan to hang out for a few hours.

If you havent been out in a while, its worth checking out. They have done a lot with landscaping over the years and are always adding to it. Some trails are easy while others are more challenging. There is something for everyone here.

Hidden gem. Grew up in town and always knew about it, but never knew exactly what was all there. Very well kept facilities and grounds. Beautiful setting for an evening out with the family.

If you want to take your little uns on a great, low-key day trip, pack a cooler and head to Willoughby Farms on the outskirts of Collinsville, IL. It is a -darling- example of a working farm so kids can experience farm life: crops, cows, goats, ponies, bunnies, chickens, barns, tractors, farm house, and LOTS of play area. It is extremely well maintained and far too clean to be mistaken for a real farm. Free admission! For an escape from the X-box for a nostalgic trip back in time, this gets my wholehearted endorsement.

Was at the farm this weekend for granddaughters birthday party.Employees were at the site couple times to explain rules which were obeyed. Problem was not one employee wore face masks at any time. They were around the crowds of patrons, needed masks.

Review №22

A beautiful wedding venue, especially for a rustic and outdoor ceremony. Surrounded by a beautiful country setting and little enclosures for the animals- it is a great location for a wedding or for a family day trip!Be sure to bring water, because there is no air conditioning. Only natures own cooling systems.

Review №24

Beautiful, peaceful little farm where kids can run, explore, pet and feed animals and swing on the best swing ever. Plus its FREE and you can park and get into the farm in one minute flat. Not a huge schlep like going to the zoo or Grants Farm. Very creative playground areas. So impressed. Ive lived in st louis for 20+ years and never knew about this gem. Highly recommend!

Super awesome place to bring your children, or simply yourself. Live animals, hiking trails through the woods and a huge antique barn. There are bathrooms and vending machines here in case you get thirsty or have to go #2. The space is also available for events, I attended a wedding here and I was amazing.

This is great place to take the family. Its a hidden gem in the middle of town. There are animals, playgrounds, hiking trails, gardens. You rent out different sections or the whole farm. They have a variety of events through the year.

What a beautiful setting tucked away in Collinsville. The history of the barn was fantastic. The farm animals were adorable. The playground was the big hit! So much to do! It was relaxing just to sit and let the kids run and play on playground. Thank you Willoughby Family for this thoughtful gift.

Absolutely one of my favorite places to go! There is so much you can do there. Love taking a book with me to read under one of their shaded areas, running through all the different trails and taking the doggies for a walk there.

We had a great time here with friends. For a free park, it has a lot to offer. The trails are great and hilly. There were people hunting for morel mushrooms and finding quite a few (we didnt find any walking on the paths). There were goat kids there that were fun to watch. Lots of unique playground equipment with recycled materials. You can tell the community supports the park as so many parts of it were built for eagle scout projects. Ive made a mental note to come out here more often.

I just rented the farm for my wedding in September. Jerry was helpful ahead of time, but some information was either not told to me or wasnt clear so we had many issues once we got there to set up. The lady who was there was rude and not helpful and accused us -during my wedding- of stealing a walker. We rented the house for taking pictures before the wedding and the house was dirty and there were items that were all over the beds and puking out of the closets. Other than that, the grounds was a decent venue. But i would recommend that you spend your money elsewhere seeing as though they tack on charges for every little thing and you are just paying for a barn and some grass , they dont really provide anything else.

Review №63

The farm is easy to find, fun for kids, and relatively clean, modern and it is a farm. Goats, rabbits, chickens, guinea fowl, a cow await you. You can touch and feed the goats. Bring quarters for feed. Place is better suited for smaller children. We found it wet because of all the recent rain. The house was closed. Not sure why. Was good for a couple of hours in the morning before their naps.

Fun for kids, not crowded, very clean. Dog friendly. There were walking trails but I didnt go on them. Free, 25 cents to feed goats a handful of food.

Walked the longest trail. It was a good experience for my first ever hike. I would do it again, but do a shorter trail. It is a very nice place to visit.

Top to bottom a great place for kids to get dirty and see some animals! I’d love to spend more time hiking the trails too.

Review №67

What a cute little place! We took my son to see Santa for the first time this December. Granted we didnt get to do much else since we waited in line for almost 2 hours, but we got to hear caroling, see the little train go by that was giving kids rides, they had a hayride, and animals you could pet. Hot chocolate, crafts for the kids, decorated beautifully, it was really neat. We will re-visit during the year.

Review №68

Love this place. Lots of stuff for everyone. The animals are calm and love being petted; the Heritage House is full of antiques from WWII and is open to the public. There are tree swings, picnic tables and benches, trees with signs identifying them and a walking trail.Wonderful place to spend the day for a picnic.
