Gaver Farm

I'm a little late in posting this review as we visited last fall but I really wanted to share what a great time we had. As others have mentioned, we visited during the week hoping it would not be as busy as it was on the weekends. Although there were a lot of people there, including a couple of school groups, the farm is spread out so there was room for everyone. We did the corn maze, took the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch, wandered around the other activities and of course, had cider and donuts. We had a wonderful afternoon at Gaver Farm and would highly recommend it.

Great place for the whole family to walk around and do lots of fun activities. The kids will like it. The parents will like it. Tired parents and caregivers can sit on the many benches while they watch the kids play. Don’t forget to pick up some delicious cider donuts on the way out. Lots of places to wash your hands and plenty of porta-potties for those of you who forget to go before leaving home, or have a little too many apple ciders and soda while there.
Avoid the crowds and buy your tickets online. Some days are more crowded than others, but the ticketing helps with that. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing.

This was my first time going to this farm, and I knew it would be a 5 stars. Firstly, the donuts and apple cider are so good. Secondly, there’s so many activities here. There’s slides, animals (you can feed some of them too!), outdoor games like connect four and tug a war, a big confusing maze, a shop with good farm foods, a hayride, pumpkins, a bouncy platform ballon thingy, and way more! There’s a lot more that I didn’t mention, you should go just to see! Personally I might make a second trip here next year. It’s so many things to do!

Gaver Farm is the best farm I've been to in Maryland. I brought my 4 year old & he had so much fun. There is SO much to do that we didn't even get a chance to try everything because he got too tired. The play area is huge. The animal areas are well kept and fun to interact with. The donuts are also super delicious. We will be returning for our annual pumpkin picking farm day in October! I highly recommend!

We had a great time today at Gaver farms. Its a perfect place for families with small children. There's a huge bounce pad, hay rides, 4-5 slides, obstacle course, corn maze, food, cow kiddie train, farm animals, pumpkin patch, apple orchard, sunflower patch and so much more. We went home with some fresh apple cider which is delicious. Check it out you're self its worth it. Buy your tickets online and you'll be able to save a few bucks than buying at the gate. Enjoy!

This place was so fun! Visiting from Los Angeles and this is everything I would expect to see during a fall festival. The festival has everything. A hayride at the entrance that takes you to the pumpkin patch (which I would suggest going last since the pumpkins can be heavy) multiple slides you can down with burlap sacks for adults too! There's food, a corn maze, sand pits, chalk house, multiple places to take pictures of your little ones. You will absolutely not run out of things to do. There is so much to do as the farm is as far as the eye can see, literally! The beautiful trees and fields are the perfect backdrop. I would love to and will be coming again!

Fun for kids of all ages, lots of activities, many more have been added over the years so if it's been a while, check out them out again! It's a large space so even when there's a lot of people, you're not standing on top of each other. The apple cider donuts are delicious! They have pick your own apples and a pumpkin patch too!

So sad they didn't have sunflowers. But as per usual they had more activities for the kiddos than we could get to. Apple picking and pumpkin patch are always fantastic!

So many great things to do. Went on a weekday, there were lots of field trips but they left around noonish. We stayed for 5 hours and my kids could have stayed longer. Highly recommend if you are looking for a farm to play at.

We had a wonderful time at Gaver Farm! We are new to Maryland so this was our first time here and we were so impressed. We spent 4 hours there and still didn't get to do everything! I'd like to especially highlight the staff, they were helpful, friendly and welcoming all around. From the food staff, to the event staff, retail workers, everyone was incredibly friendly. We picked apples, toured and picked sunflowers, and toured and chose fresh pumpkins from their patch. The prices are very reasonable, especially coming from California. Highly recommend!!

$14.65 for three on first responders day...so many fun things to do ( sandboxes, swings, slides, farm animals, hay ride, tractors)! Delicious donuts and hit dog/ fries. My daughter absolutely loved the big trampoline and we could have easily spent 6 hours here! We bought a pumpkin and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Definitely recommended!

Great place for fall fun. Huge space, tons of activities sspread out over a beautiful acreage, helpful staff, and frequently placed porta potties. Snack type food on site to get you through lunch, cider donuts and apples for sale in their barn. You can get to the farm store to buy pumpkins and decorations without admission, but otherwise you need to get tickets online ahead of time (COVID rules). Lots of things for kids to do and many of them so there isn't much waiting. Definitely the place to go for fall festivities!

We love this place. But it gets crowded very fast. Make sure that you buy tickets for right when they open. We always end up spending way too much because of the yummy apple cider Donuts and all the cute things to purchase in the store. This is our yearly place we enjoy going to for Fall festivities.

Loved the wide open atmosphere. Though it is hilly. The hills and wide open space allow for beautiful photography opportunities.
Lots to do and see. The activities allow for kids of all ages (including us, adults) to relax and just have fun.

The only drawback was that the grill was not open today. But, the Donuts and cider were a definite hit!!
Additionally, the young man that was working the bounce area seemed a little miffed at his assignment. Working this type area requires lots of positive energy and patience. Kids can be frustrating. This I understand. However, put on your best happy face and make the most of the opportunity to engage with children.

Maybe, offer coin operated machines with animal feed. Walking all the way back to the ticket window was a little less than. But, I did get my steps in. 🤣🤣

I would (maybe) offer additional parking by the pumpkin patch. Carrying what you pick is challenging of you are the type that likes to pick lots of pumpkins.

My complaints of Gavers are small and insignificant when compared against the experience I had, today, as a first timer.

The price is more than fair, compared to everything that the farm offers.

This experience and time spent with family and friends was worth the drive.

I hope y'all keep up the great work!!

This place is magical during pumpkin patch season. There are tons of activities for kids to enjoy and run around! The apple cider donuts (hot) are to die for. Just being out in the open and enjoying the fresh air is worth it.
The gift shop has jams, fresh donuts, pies, shirts, sweaters, pumpkins, fudge, apple and pumpkin butter, etc..They even have Spookley the Square Pumpkin books, shirts, and stuffies.

Hi I have been coming here every year in fall with my homeschool group since I was 4 and I am 13 now. I really enjoy it it’s so fun with all the activities. It was definitely more fun when I was younger. You have to try the Apple cider donuts. I kinda forgot the price of admission and it’s modified since I go mainly for field trips but i think it’s pretty reasonable. The activities they have there are big thrilling slides, corn maze, smaller mazes, throwing ball sports, sand and corn pits, A big jumping pillow with a big kid one and a small kid one, a giant obstacle course, animals, and other small activities. If i were to rate this as 4-9 year old def 5 stars but as a 10-13 year 4 stars it pretty boring without a friend but if you have a friend it’s very fun.

A great place for the family to spend a day. Activities for all ages. Enjoyed the hayride out to pumpkin field. I do recommend getting the pass if you are local and will go back often. We will definitely be back!

Great place for kids. There's just about everything here and then some. You don't have to pay for admission or parking. You pay for any activities or purchases you make. Very big place and popular too. It definitely fills up quick so get there early. All and all it's a great place for kids.

This place is awesome!
It’s a massive space with lots of activities for kids.
The staff are all friendly and the food tastes pretty good and it was open early for the couple hundred people that were there.
Def worth visiting!

Friendly staff. Lots of things to do for kids (toddlers and up). Reasonably priced admission, food, pumpkins, etc. Must try homemade lemonade. Has a outdoor pavilion with tons of seating for dining. Corn maze is super hard when you didn’t see that there’s a map until later but very fun. One actual restroom in front by market and then multiple port-a-potties along the outside of the corn field by all activities.
