Having my sons birthday here for the second year in a row we love it that much! Best tax money spent in my opinion

Had a great time! Very sweet park with lots for kids to do.

Ive been going there since 2007 with my first grandson I have four grandkids now and they all went there we will drop them off every time since we are not Smithtown resident. My grandkids love going there the people are friendly and nice. They have playgrounds on the sands ends on rubber mats. Unfortunately this year with a Corona and everything. I decided not to go until August I decided to taking my granddaughter at 3 she went there last year and the year after I think she miss going there we also feed the animals take them carrots celery and she likes feeding them. Last August of this year I tried to take her it was a young girl there I told you I was getting dropped off she said you cant come in I told her how long Ive been coming here she insisted I did not get mad I was disappointed. I told her I was just getting dropped off she refuses so I left and my Grand daughter was what happened Grandpa I told her that they will close because of the corona smiles she said okay Jones is not good grandpa and I said you are right. Anyway this place is a nice place to take your family to the peaceful I only go there Monday to Friday not everyday not every week its a nice place whole family friendly people Animal Park nice walks. Very good place. I wish I had a Smithtown card but I know I cant well again nice place for family Im grateful for the years they did let me in be safe people cover your face

Beautiful winding trails and a good place to just go for a walk. A few animals on site too.

This place was pleasant. I want to bring my fiancées daughters here. Looks like theyll have a lot of fun at this place

You can’t park there unless your a resident. They tell you to park on the street. Every close street has signs for no parking 8am- 5pm park closes at 6 good luck trying to find parking. It looks nice from the pictures never been inside

Beautiful farm!! Lots of land, walking trail, butterfly garden, pond, animals, a play ground and a little sprinkler park. Tables to eat at and they do concerts there also. Pretty grounds to walk around! Highly recommend!

This place was pleasant and perfect place for everyone! I want to bring my family here.

I have to say that this respite is my “Happy Place”During these crazy times I need a diversion of peace and tranquility . The second I step out of my car my spirits are immediately lifted .The grounds are well manicured and pristine you can see that whoever is in charge takes great pride in their job .The animals are my favorite part, they look well cared for and well fed btw!!!I didn’t know that they are rescues which makes it all the more special .The only thing missing ( aside from no restroom due to Covid) lol is that I can’t go in and cuddle them !!I’m so grateful for this gift of a daily escape for me !

Its lovely when its open its kept very Clean and looks very beautiful of time the landscaping is done very well great place to take your kids great place to go for a run.

Its very cool to be out in the outdoors the playground setup was nice and feeding the animals as well

The nature trails were unexpectedly gorgeous and well kept. A hidden gem

We were able to socially distance pretty well on the nature trails, but the playground were filled with kids and adults running around without masks on. By the barn there were some without masks on, but most were being respectful

Good for trail walks and run, used to have lots of birds, didnt see lately

Bunnies and goats and cows and chickens here! The bunnies are so fat and friendly theres also a lot of nice greenery around to appreciate it. Definitely recommend coming here

Great year round for all going alone kids families scouts. Tree preserves and education stations plus animals

Love this park near my home. It offers so much. Playgrounds for children, picnic areas for families, nature center for all, wild life like deer, ducks, turtles, Guinea hens, bunnies and pigs. There are trails for hiking and cross country skiing in the winter. Oh yes, and a wigwam and special activities year round! Visit Hoyt farm for a lovely experience in nature!

I love this place ever since I was very little! Best Playground Ever when I was growing up! I only go on the swings now at the playground since I’m 27. Anyway, I mostly go walking to the Nature Preserve and do sports their now!

Very good other then the fact that the cow got spit all over me.

Awesome park for the family. One of the best in the area for playing, picnicking, walking around. The animals are well cared for and are a hoot for the kids. There is a water park in the summer. Haven’t personally experienced it yet but I’m told concerts are held during nice weather. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this park. I brought my nephew here and it has so much to offer. Fro. Goats, to cows, to chickens and roosters. This place is good for kids of all ages. They also have a sprinkler park and traditional park. I wish they had a place like this when I was a kid!

I love Hoyt Farm . Such beautiful place.

I love this park. There is so much to see and do there. There are animals that you can feed such as goats and bunnies but you have to bring your own food to feed them. (Absolutely no bread of any kind). Nature Trails. A big playground area for the kids. A picnic area. During the summer there is a spray park. The fall is awesome to visit there because of the beautiful foliage. They also do a great job with decorations for Halloween. One of my favorite places to visit. Highly recommend it.

A very nice place ! Good for all ages. Does have restrooms. Good for short walk or long stroll .

Great music under an amazing sky and cool breeze

Bring carrots! There are goats and pigs and a cow to feed. There is also a bunch of chickens, a fairy garden or gnome town and a playground. The water park looked small but fun, it was closed for the season already. One side of the playground had all old school toys and the other side was more modern. There was also hiking trails but we didnt walk much of them. There was a booth at the parking lot entrance, Im not sure if they charge to get in ever. When we went yesterday in September we didnt have to pay.

An amazing place to bring your family. It is one of the most Diverse parks around the area. It has a stage where concerts can be held, plenty of picnic tables, they lend out boce balls, Softball equipment, Corn hole equipment and a bunch of other things all you have to do is give them your license or state identification. They also have a great nature walk where there is live animals that you can pet and feed. One of the best parts about to park is it also as a sprinkler area for the kids, they have a Palm tree and a bunch of other cool looking things that sprinkle out water definitely a great park for the kids and adults as well. definitely a place to check out.

If Smithtown resident - free. If not there is a cost but it has water park, animal park, regular park, and nice walking paths. Much bigger then I realized. My son loves it here.

Hoyt Farm is a great place for families with small children to visit and play as mentioned in other reviews. I will often bike there with my daughter and spend time at the playground and then feed the farm animals. In the winter with fresh snow on the ground, you can sled down a small hill right next to the main parking lot.

Very nice walking oaths nor bird watching, awesome playground for young kids.. I have been going there for over 50 years..

Very peaceful, some animals and short trails for hiking.

This is a great place to spend a few hours with the kids. Its just a short walk from the parking lot to see the animals including chickens, goats, pigs, and a cow! Bring some fruit and veggies for maximum fun!

Great place for all ages

This place is absolutely spectacular. The staff is top shelf very very helpful. Smithtown couldnt do better. Not sure whats better the griunds or the helpful staff!

Great place to bring the children.

My favorite farm/park to go for a walk, run and enjoy the nature. More in love this year with all the updates it has. They have bunnies, chickens, goats and a cow that you can feed them with carrots, apples and cabbage. My son loves the playground area + the spray park open during very hot weather. Always have to drag him out. Totally recommend this place if you want to connect with nature.

This form is as beautiful as it is fun for the family. It has the most cool little museum and antique home to tour a sprinkler farm for the kids I sand playground as well as a soft cushion and playground. Numerous barbecue and picnic table areas and the town shows movies in the summertime. Make sure you are aOr you will pay to access. Which is fine with me considering I paid the taxes for this wonderful form. White farm is great

Love the animals and trails here. Spray park great in summer . they have a nice playground. Wish they would charge non residents to go in that way people dont have to park in front of residents houses

Very nice local park. Has a nice, casual walking trail, historic and nature information, and stops for Pokemon Go/Wizards Unite.

I grew up there and now take my kids the place is unbelievable, fun and great to have a picnic

Copied from website:Hoyt Farm is only open to Smithtown residents ALL year round.  Non-residents may only park in our lot when they are the guest of a permit holding resident and will be charged a $12 parking fee.

I love this place so much fun for the kids.

Went to the park only to find it locked up. Very disappointed. Need need to update their information on.

Great place, kids love feeding animals

Used to work there. Very nice concept

Bring your own carrots and feed alll the animals for free !! We come all the time

Good place for a company picnic or family reunion. Theres a playground, splash park, baseball field, and farm animals to visit. On site restrooms, and bocce and horseshoe courts as well.

Very well kept place! Nice grounds for sure. The walk is a schlep from the parking area to the grounds. Kids had fun.

Lots of animals and the reserve is beautiful! The parks and activities offered are also really nice. Great place to take kids!

Great Farm for kids. Farm animals and water sprinkler for kids.Its free, if you are a town of Smithtown resident.

Great selection of animals for the kids to see and a great playground

Love coming here.. well kept and kids always have fun.. from the playgrounds to the farm..

It has everything your kids need to have a fun day. Love this place

I love the place. My kids are grown but I love the environment. Great place for kids! Water fun in the summer and what a great display for Halloween. If you enjoy outdoors this is the place. And......the bathrooms could not be cleaner!!!

This is a great park. There are walking trails, slides for tiny tots as well as field to play soccer / baseball. They also have small farm animals that the kids enjoy. In the summer Smithtown residents can reserve space for picnics (for a fee).

My children love this place they really enjoyed all the animals

Great place.

Wow, lovely forested paths and a petting zoo! Also little farm displays for kiddos to learn.

Great park. Saw GUILTY PLEASURES the 80s tribute there. Great music great atmosphere.

Great park, need to be local resident to enter. In the summer theres a sprinkler park for kids.Also have farm animals.

Very nice park. But must have town parking sticker to park.

I love this park. Lots to do in a very small area. Great for people of all ages.

Went here for the first time for my nieces 8th grade graduation Party. It was really nice. We went by the peting zoo with the animals. Really nice place.

Nice park. Great place to spend the afternoon with kids

Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve is beautiful! I attended the preserve to see the Yes cover band Awaken. My experience is a positive one. There is also a playground where children can play. Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve is a place that everyone can be filled with enjoyment.

We had a great time...Playground for the kids, Bon-Journey for the adults!

This is a great nature park for children and Adults as well. Animals, walking trails, Swings, Slides Waterpark. Concerts during the Summer. To be located in Commack it is a plus for Smithtown Residents. A perfect place for family gatherings, BBQS, there is even a baseball field. You will not be disappointed..

Called to get information and was told that if Im not a Smithtown resident I would not be allowed in the park at all. Seems very wrong to turn people awat that want to bring their kids to such a nice park. They should not be allowed to deny people.

Great memories going to this park when was a kid. Now they hold the annual Commack Day event there, visited Oct 2019 and got see a lot of old friends.

Very nice family park.

Peaceful

Great place for kids of all ages. Great playground, a water park in the summer. Many animals, bring carrots and celery for the rabbits, goats and cows. Great hiking trails. Hosts summer concert series and you can have family parties there. Lots of open space to run around or fly a kite. Well maintained. We took our kids their years ago, now we are back most weekends with our grandson.

Nice place specially for young kids.

Great live music. Beautiful park.

My first time here, the rain limited our activity. It was enjoyable spending time at this well-maintained park.

Hoyt farm has a pleasant 2 mile nature trail through woods, orchards, ponds, and Meadows. Birds abound especially near the rear of the Nature Center where there are feeders. Turtles, geese and ducks are in the pond areas. For the young there are variety of paddocks with sheep, goats, cows, rabbits, chickens etc. Picnic arears are available. There are ball fields and a playground area with a splash park. In season tours are available of the grounds and buildings. Restrooms are available at the rear of the Nature Center and Playground area. A Smithtown parking permit is required in season. Group events can be scheduled.

Never been but why is this for town residents only according to website. Very terrible.

Awesome place to spend a few hours. They are open to any Smithtown resident and it is free to get in. There is a small farm where you can feed the animals, big playground, water park in the summer and a few miles of trails that can be hiked. Along the hikes there are ponds, there is an Orchard and I have seen deer on the property too.

Is an state park where you can go with family and feed the farm animals they have there and have a great walk in the trails feeling just the wind and fresh air from nature, and admire the rest of what used to be the home for this tribe and you can take pictures inside the hut ,You pay entrance as any other state parks but is not too expensive, come here and enjoy nature

So great for kids fre farm and park

Its more than just a playground. My family always enjoys going there. There are hiking trails, animals to visit, a butterfly exhibit, the house is set up like a museum, and of course the BBQ area, horse shoes, bocce, playground, and water area provide plenty of fun for the whole family!

So fun you can host parties here as well as a great place to go see animals and go on walks to the pond playground etc

So much fun here! Playground has lots of age appropriate variety, bathrooms are clean, and ice cream truck is parked right there which is a nice treat. In the other side of the preserve are some of the farm animals. You can fed them and pet some bathrooms and sinks are close by to wash up after touching the animals. Overall, a great place. Bathrooms on the animal side are only open from 1-4pm though, so this is a bit inconvenient.

I love this park because it has a big playground for all kids, the playground for the little ones has a rubber floor to protect the kids from scratches. There is also a sand playground that has different activities for kids. Also there are trails to walk around.This place also has a water playground so kids can cool off on summer time.I mean this place has everything for everyone in the family their is big farm and you can even feed the animals.If you need a bathroom they have this too and changing tables for the babies.

Great space with plenty of animals to feed. Dont forget to bring your own fruit and vegetables for the animals to eat. There is no option to buy onsite. If youre up for a Walk there is a secondary animal holding area to the left of the main stables.

We love this little farm!!We dont live in Smithtown so we are not able to get the sticker that allows year-round access. As a result we can only go during the off season.So its pretty basic and its not huge, but the animals are just so sweet!! Chickens, rabbits, pigs, sheep, goats, and the cutest little cow named Charlie. (I think he is about 18 months old. Sweet as can be.)So (at least during the off season) there is no parking fee and no admission fee. Free is always nice.The animals are approachable. You can pet them and feed them. We usually bring romaine lettuce, carrots, and apples. (Some people bring celery.) They dont seem to love the lettuce, but they sure do love the carrots and apples!! :-)As the other reviewers have mentioned, they have a playground, a picnic area, and restrooms ... but we go for the animals.There are some hiking trails. Nothing too exciting, but nice for a short (20 - 30 minutes) stroll.My advice - go to Stop&Shop, grab four 2-lb bags of carrots (about $8), and go have a really nice, relaxing hour at the farm. :-)

Amazing place to bring the kids or significant other for an hour or so. Lots of different animals, trails to see, and then things to do in the area. Great year round.

Hot but fun day with family!

Very nice beautiful scenery.

For the residents of the town ONLY!!!

Beautiful. I worked there for years as a kid and a few as an adult. It has only gotten better. It was a family owned farm that was given to the Town of Smithtown and turned into a park. 133 acres, nature paths, picnic areas with restrooms, a nature center, a historic house, lots of farm animals and a few wild ones. The staff is hard working and the people running the place give 100%. Halloween at Hoyt is so popular you have to call in advance. Great great place.

Hoyt farm is a wonderful place for kids and the playground topnotch. However, when the ice cream man shows up and parks in the designated space outside of the playground, the playground is flooded with diesel fumes until the ice cream runs out. Diesel pollution is harmful to the lungs and developing brains of infants, toddlers and elementary age kids. Shut the truck off.

I called, to ask how much if any fee for entrance. The guy asked are you smithtown resident. I said No, he was like the park is ONLY for the residents and is free for them....Anyone know about any friendly farm I can take my children’s?

Great place. Its good to see resident/our tax dollars are being used to maintain such a nice place for us to enjoy. it is town property and funded by resident taxes, so only residents are paying. non-residents dont have easy access but then again, theyre not paying for any of it so they probably dont mind. there are lots of state parks that state residents can go to see their tax dollars at work.

I am so annoyed. I had a play date. They wouldnt let me in because I am not a resident. I offered to pay for parking. Since all the side streets have no parking signs, I left with my son crying. Park police?? Its a public park!!

Beautiful. Great place to take children.

Great place for kids waterpark sand and playground also great hiking trails. I believe its drone and rocket friendly, nice open Build field

Great park but not being a Smithtown resident it is closed to me from May to Sept every year and there is no way to pay a non resident fee or day pass. Seems very unfair to exclude. Most parks have a non resident option Smithtown has none. I called town hall and was told no access. Sad.

Beautiful peaceful place

Free for Town of Smithtown residents. Farm animals, spray park and 2 playgrounds. Ice cream truck comes into park often also. Kids love it.
