Charmingfare Farm, Candia, NH (3.5 smiles)


We went to Charmingfare Farm last Friday (June 27th).  Here is my review....

Parking:  There is plenty

Gate/Admissions:  [$$$$$] Helpful and Kind

Birthday Parties:  Yes

Bathrooms:  Port-o-potties.  No running water to wash your toddler's hands.  (**Update:  An anonymous reader did write a comment that there is running water by the pigs and sheep.  I did not see the sinks, but I will go back and update this posting as soon as I do.  Thank you for the correction)  No changing tables.  They do provide antibacterial hand lotion at certain stations.

Cleanliness of Park:  Okay.  Some rough terrain if you are using a stroller.  There are some wooded areas to navigate through.  A lot of animals for the children to enjoy.  If you don't like seeing wild animals in cages this may not be the park for you.

Store:  Lots of trinkets and stuffed animals.  They do have a cooler in the back with water, etc.

Overall:  Nice, would go again!  There are a lot of picnic tables in nice shady places if you choose to bring your lunch.  My son was happy and he loved the tractor ride.

  1. I liked the play area, the pirate ship climbing area. Gave me a chance to rest in the shade (picnic table), while my energy filled daughter got to climb and run. - Karen Rix, Hooksett, NH

  2. Just to help future visitors, there actually is running water over by the pigs/sheep... there are 2 sinks. There's hand soap at the petting zoo and in the port-o-potty's.

  3. I visited earlier this summer with my 3 and six year old. I thought the admission was rather high for a farm. It would've been more acceptable if the pony ride, tractor ride and hay ride were included, but they are all priced separately. The day I was there it was too hot for pony rides so maybe there is a benefit to a separate ticket price. Keep in mind it is a farm with lots of animals and lots of flies, my kids didn't like that part.
