We LOVE Kidwell Farm at Frying Pan Park. There are always lots of animals to see, plenty of room to run, and best of all it's free. We've done the tractor ride twice. If you have a chatty, informative tour guide it is fun. If not, it's just a pretty ride. Lots of parking. The play ground and bathrooms are... More

Great for kids, Scout groups, families, etc. An actual working farm. Be sure to check times for feeding, milking, hay/tractor rides and special events. There is a farm store at the site where you can buy eggs and other farm products. The Turkeys pardoned by the president reside on the farm. Get your 3 degrees of separation from the leader... More

I took my 2-year-old daughter to Frying Pan Park Farm the other day, and she generally had a good time. There were lots of animals to see, and 2 nice playgrounds. We went on the merry-go-round, which was fun, but short considering it only runs once an hour. We also went on the tractor-trailer ride, which was a waste of... More

We watched some barrel-type racing (where the horses were timed going one at a time around barrels) at the indoor pavilion and it seemed as if horse activities went on all morning. There were...

Frying pan park is what remains of a farm bought by the county. Today the buildings are preserved and the emphasis is on baby animals, hayrides, a playground and a tiny store with candy and ice cream. Very popular with young kids. There is also an equestrian center with horse events (dressage, barrel races). More

We love to go to the park, walk through the barns and visit the farm animals. It's also the place for horse competitions, so if you are lucky, you just might be there the day kids and adults are jumping in a show! There are also picnic areas, general store, clean bathrooms, small playground, trails and hay rides. A gem... More

Great exposure to farm life. Hay rides offered. Great little country store. Horse shows and horseback riding lessons. More

I live near this place, and when we were buying our house, this was a selling feature. I can walk to this park, so I go all the time and take the kids over to see the animals. They love sitting on the tractors, playing on the playground, and looking at the old machinery from the 1930s. They have goats,... More
