I absolutely love Lambs Farm! A safe, kid friendly outdoor activity that kept my 20 month old entertained for hours. Love the ability to feed hay to feed to the animals as well. And the staff members who take the animals out for petting are so knowledgeable and friendly.

We can with kids to the farm today September 19th. At the entrance we were told that we have to have a reservation. Today there is no openings and that we are welcome to come tomorrow. Kids were very sad and we left. I was looking on their website to see info about reservations and did not find anything about it. I did try to call but apparently you have to have an extension to a person or you will be disconnected. So i am wondering if anyone had the same experience and how do you get to the farm?

Ive grown up around this place and every time I come I never fail to enjoy myself. Everyone is extremely sweet and all the animals are very gentle.

We went on $5 everything day and enjoyed our visit with this great value. The mini-golf course fun and well-kept, the cafe offers a variety of food choices for a reasonable price (2 people with an app was only about $30), the visitor center as well as the store and thrift shop were both enjoyable and well-staffed. We bought a couple feed bags for $1 each and were able to feed the animals as well. Our experience was very enjoyable and Im sure well visit again.

A little different. While doing some cleaning we actually stumbled across this old wooden sign we did for Lambs Farm in Libertyville, Illinois that we also have a photo of from back in the day when we put it up!

Drove an hour to visit farmyard. Google has them open Monday’s and apparently they aren’t. Pull up and closed on top on reservations being needed. All the website says is that there open along with social distancing policy. No mention of reservations. 2hrs round trip and the person on the phone wasn’t helpful.

I drove an hr with my kids to location, but they were close. I was so upset and dissapointed. Its very hard to keep my kids calm for long period of time. My kiddo was unhappy and tired from driving for no reason. They should update info on webside and google. That was our 1st time going to visit this place and newer again.

This place is amazing! All of the animals are clearly well cared for and loved by the staff. The animal keepers told me how each animal has its own name and story. They save all their animals and give them a loving home! The passion for animals is clear!

This non profit organization does wonderful work, helping disabled people lead productive lives. We need more organizations like this in the world. Kind of funky but the kids absolutely love it. They didnt want to leave. Well go again if just to support these hard-working people. The restaurant on the property is fantastic with great food and service. You can eat there without going into the farm. Well be back.

We came on a Tuesday afternoon, very quiet and only a few other families. The staff was friendly and our son enjoyed seeing all the animals. Well likely return next season when our son is older and can enjoy more.

I use to bring my children here and it was lovely, but now when I bring my grandchildren I find it very run down. The train was not running when we were there. The place needed paint. It is not kept up. The merry go round needs music. Th mini golf was decrepit. The animals in the farm looked not cared for. The pet store was clean. I think you need to close down and revamp the place. Get it back up to par.

I love non profit mission to help disabled people get employment. They have lots to do am including visit (also feed & pet) the animals, mini golf, merry go round, train, bouncy house, thrift store, country store, pet and garden store, snack shop, and restaurant. They even do adoptions from Wright way rescue. Fun affordable day at the farm with the kids. Facilities particularly mini golf need some maintenance, but the price matches. Also certain areas are occasionally closed. When we went the bouncy house and train were closed because of the rain the day before, but admission was lower than usual. Picnic lunches are allowed as well.

A very cute and easy going place. Went on a Thursday morning and practically had the place to myself. Staff is friendly and helpful. Animals all look pretty healthy. There’s an awesome goat and sheep pen where you can go inside and brush all 50 of them. You can feed the cows and llamas hay. Lots of friendly animals to interact with. Also a mini golf course my 2 year old loved. Across the parking lot they have a pretty well stocked thrift store with furniture, and a kids play area with wooden structures. My daughter loved the airplane slide. There were puppies for adoption at the animal shelter. Also a restaurant on site! Overall would definitely recommend for an easy and affordable family outing!

Fun place to bring your kids with pretty reasonable prices. The animals seem like they could use a little more care and a lot of the staff seemed like snobby teenagers, but I love what Lambs Farm stands for and does for the community. Definitely worth a visit on a nice day when you have nothing to do!!

Great little place to take toddlers to see farm animals up close. You can purchase a large brown bag of hay to feed the animals with for $2 which was really cool. Was very muddy when we went in early spring, right after all the snow had melted so I suggest wearing boots!

Me and my family drove up from Tennessee to see a White Sox game, but heard from a lovely lady at the hotel that Lambs Farm was a must see. My wife wanted every animal especially that handsome camel Joseph. He was a gentleman, even though he tried to take my girl. Got some hay to feed out and glad I did. My youngest, Emmett, made a point to see that every animal he came across had some hay. The horses posed perfectly for a quick photo with the family; which a staff member offered to take. The geese and ducks were plenty happy with the deep pond. Even though they don’t eat the hay, several ducks waddled up to say high to my daughter Beth. I grew up on a farm outside Franklin Tennessee, so I know happy animals when I see ‘em. The roosters crowed mightily but the hens weren’t as impressed as my wife Lisa. Pigs grazed in the pasture next the ponies. Once we got to the goat yard the fun amped up. We were swarmed. In a good way. A lot of the animals at petting zoo places just glance your way, but these goats and sheep were catlike. They rubbed their heads against my legs and were grateful for a good ‘ole butt scratch. Friendliest I’ve met. The kids made a point to brush each one and after 30mins the deed was done. Inside the education building staff took out snakes, ferrets, and a hedgehog for us to pet. They also informed us that nearly every animal they had was a sob story. Rescued from neglect, the slaughter, old age, or were in need of rehoming to people who had the knowledge to care for the animal. They have a forever place at Lambs Farm. We’ve gone back twice now, each time it gets better.

We love this place so much and usually go on weekdays when less busy. I went on a Saturday and was extremely disappointed to see ride on horses and camels. I thought that this was a place that took care and cared for their animals not put them through abuse.

Very cool experience for little kids who love animals. A very relaxed environment that allows up close experiences with all types of animals (cows, horses, cats, goats, turtles, and more). Just wear shoes that can tolerate a wet muddy farm environment.

I love going to lambs farm. I went there with my daughter and two grandsons. We love the restaurant and the resale shop. We went into the pet shop also. The public restrooms are clean.

We got there early. The Cafe opens at 11am but they still let people in if you get there before 11 and they serve you! I dont know if it was the fact it was just us at the Cafe or not but they were taking their sweet time with our orders. Our orders werent hot they were warm but Ill give it to them, the food is pretty good. Im giving them a 3 star because when we got to the carousel it was very very dusty. I mean if you have kids coming into the farm, the least they can do is dust off the things kids will be sitting on. They had a bunch of other areas to check out but we didnt. However it is a cute little place so Id say go check it out

Lambs farm it is simply a wonderful place with wonderful people. From visiting the country store to the farmyard, its a nice place to take the family. Its right off of the highway, so very convenient. There are puppies and kittens for adoption from Wright-Way Rescue in the pet shop. Come and visit, you wont be disappointed.

We originally purchased a Groupon to enjoy the whole park but due to cold weather we couldnt use any of the rides so we ended up paying the regular entrance fee of $5 per person and our son (under 2years old) was free. We also payed a dollar for a bag of hay to feed the animals and it was so fun! We pet goats, cows, horses pigs and chickens and so much more. After we went to the cafe for lunch and the staff was so nice and the food was good for a quick bite to eat. Great experience!

Lambs Farm is always an uplifting experience. They empower individuals who have developmental challenges with their country store, bakery, pet store, thrift store, and restaurant. It is a humbling place to visit but you are able to see Gods work in action. This is a great place to visit and support.

Outdoors the opportunities are for kids (farm animals to observe). Gift shop is pleasant and a great place to meet adoptable dogs and cats. The underlying mission is terrific, so go if you meet one of these qualifications!

Awesome place for my daughter. The only part I had trouble with was finding where to get hay for my daughter. She wanted to feed the animals, but no one was in hay bags station. I will be coming to bring my future kids here. Im a country boy that loved in the city now, but want my children to experience the country life from time to time.

Review №76

Its not great. Its not bad either..Its actually a bit on nice side...Most of the infrastructure is from 1970s. still functional though. Staff dealing is nice. Does what they are supposed to do. Animals seem in good condition, not foul smelly either. the place location is close to highway so running cars is constant feeling reminding you you are not in countryside farm. A bit of cleanliness improvements, a grass cutting near Mini Golf would make this place earn one more star. Good job on trying to maintain the whole structure though!Edit: Making it 5 starts due to the dedication involved in keeping the place up and running. making some comments more positive.

Pleasant place to come and visit farm animals that have been rescued in one way or another. Theres a petting area and you can buy some hey to feed the animals and support the place as they, in turn, support special needs adults who work there. That alone makes them awesome!

I personally love lambs farm! Some of there facilities (specifically the mini golf portion) are in need of some repair. But if you know anyone who likes farm animals (especially goats), this place is awesome. They have an enclosure where you can go play with about 20 goats and sheep, plus barns with a variety of other animals. Its a good price (especially for the adult tickets), and all goes towards a good mission.

I would rate higher but the place was disgusting. Poop everywhere and i mean EVERYWHERE. I love petting zoos and have been to many and never seen that much poop. The animals were friendly and my kid enjoyed it but we wont be going back due to having to scrub feces from our shoes for 3 days.

Review №88

It’s not a very well kept place, flies and animal waste everywhere. The birds were attacking each other, some were even bleeding. When we asked about the problem going on with the birds the manager said they were having a problem with to many males and she said someone would be coming in to help in a week. But those birds need help then not in a week but nothing was done. Can’t forget about the empty water bowls and the bird with its whole eye swollen/ bloody. Also they had just gotten in a new bearded dragon that would clearly just cause them more trouble. The tank so small there were flies in it and on the bearded dragon. The food bowl was empty and the sand covering the bottom of the cage was cover in old food dead bugs and waste. I could not believe how these animals were being treated and it made me sick. I hope something can be done to help these animals. But the cause is good.

We visit the farm several times a year to see all the animals. Its great to get up close and personal with all sorts of standard barnyard friends. Sometimes they even have a camel! Easy access right of 94. There is also a small gift shop with puppies up for adoption.

Great place for taking your toddler to learn how to treat and feed farm animals. The animals seem very well cared for and I liked that. My son loved the place and had a lot of fun in the mini golf course, although the train ride and carousel were closed for maintenance. The food at the Magnolia Cafe and Bakery was very very tasty and surprisingly affordable. All in all, definitely a place Id like to visit again and will recommend to other people
