Very nice farm and wonderful place to go with your family. It’s a great place to escape from urban life and to enjoy the beauty of each season. Don’t forget to visit the museum and the old house. There are a lot things you would like to see.

Hard to believe this is tucked away in busy commercial Schaumburg. A beautiful piece of history and nice little getaway. Nice trails.

Beautiful trails in the forest preserve, lovely farm place to come with kids, seasonal entertainment programs.

LOVE walking the trails. Definitely a local treasure. Thank you to those who keep it.

Going to Volkening Hertigage Farm is like walking through history. Volunteers keep the farm running as if it were still 100 years ago and its really incredible to see. There is a homestead and a few barns. They have cows, chicken, and horses.

Simple fun reconnecting to our past

This is a great place to take your little ones. Staff are super friendly and little kids will get a kick out of seeing the animals and petting them. Best part is they are free!

This is a very cool spot. Its a working farm with a few reenactors. Its a nice slice of life. The people are very friendly and there are real farm animals. Its next to a big chunk of land to explore. Its a good spot for the kids.

Great place to take your kids!

We just attended Sugar Bush Fair ( our 5th year In row) .There are more events during the year.We also visit many times during the year just for nice walk.

Amazing place for family

I just love this place. I am visiting from Florida and it is beautiful very green the flowers were blooming everywhere. is free to go. But please leave me alone Nation its well worth it. children would love it

Another gem. Of a park in suburban Schaumburg.

Fantastic place to go spend a morning!

Wagon ride and bonfire fun.

Love visiting the cows, chickens, pigs, and horses here.

This is a walk back in history. Its free! We saw pigs, cows, horses and had a great walk in the natural environment. Great place to come with kids and explore .

This place is fun on a sunny day with a cool breeze so you can enjoy the surroundings and walk around. When we were there, it was a warm day and it definitely didnt help with the smell coming from the animals which was very strong even standing outside. It looked like they missed a few good areas of cleaning. Anyway, the kids had fun. Will go again soon on a less hot cooking day.

What a great place. There was so much to see that we will definitely be returning soon.

Great living museum! Cows, horses, pigs, chickens! Human staff are very friendly as well.

I loved this place so much I will always go back.

A taste of Farm Life close to the city. Great place to take kids to introduce them to farm life. Very nearby is also an awesome playground and the grounds are beautiful to walk in

Great place to visit. I come to this farm a lot and this is one of my favorite places to go. The garden is beautiful and very organized with the plants growing and the animals are wonderful. The staff and volunteers are nice at answering questions about the farm and how it was back in the 1880`s. I would recommend this place for people who like plants and animals.

Love this farm!Perfect place for kids

After roaming about IL, this is one of the best community parks Ive found. Great events year round and kid frienly/educational.

Unfortunately no animals this year :(

Good place to go when you want to get out and go out for nice picnic or just relax

Unbelievable experience a blast from the past. Beautiful property, full of historic details, walking trails and last but not least a wagon ride pulled by two of the most nicest horses.

We met some friends there for homemade ice cream It was great!! The kids had a good time & I bought some great cheese!! Staff was very nice & friendly The next week my son went to there German Beer Festival he had a very nice time !! He said beer was cold and music was good!

Its a fun little stop on our trail walks. Not too many animals besides chickens and cows but my 3 yr old loved it anyway.

Amazing place! Everyone is so welcoming and nice

Such a small lovely little farm. Its perfect for preschoolers to visit. Lots to see, not much walking. The docent volunteers are very generous and informative. No fees. Free parking.

Great place to visit with the kids and small enough to get through in an hour or as long as you like.

Great place for a walk with Family.

It is free to look around and see the Animals. Great place to teach young kids about what a farm is like.

Really interesting history, good volunteers to talk to, definitely worth it to teach children and get a feeling of the way life used to be.

You can take all the time you want to watch the animals and enjoy the setting.

Great farm cows horses pigs and chickens makes u feel free

Outstanding field trip. The 1880a farm is amazing and the docents are even better!

Great for kids to get in contact with mother nature. Its within Bisons bluff park.

Very nice Autumn night celebration. Small farm (just big enough) hot dogs, lemonaid, hay rides. House tours. And only an hour an a half. Perfect!

Beautiful day with family.. and weather held out!

If even all the houses were locked today, only the walk and seeing the surroundings were amazing. Still you can see the animals, cows, pigs, chickens and a horse. Great place to go with the kids.I recommend a trailer for kidsDrinking water they have an outside water fountain where you can fill up your bottle.And the best thing .........IS FREE

Always fun to see the farm animals with the kids

Very nice and friendly place . Love it

Very pretty. Lots of walking but worth it.

Great place to visit with kids. A throw back in time to when family farms dominated the neighborhood. Chickens are running around the grounds. Cows and horses are there to pet. Wonderful old farmhouse just as it would have looked 150 years ago.

My kids love getting close to the animals and watching the farm work. The staff is super friendly and informative.

Very quaint and well maintained. My 2 year old loves the animals and the free reign environment they present makes you feel almost like youve gone back in time. Regular activities for school trips come in for education. The nearby paths are nice for a walk as its in the forest preserve.

We are in town from MN and went there today for their spring into summer. Great staff and volunteers to talk about farm life in the present and past. I have a teenager and a preteen they enjoyed seeing the animals and how they did things in the 1800s. It was a fun day and if were ever back here will definitely go back.

Pretty cool German farm, perfect for kids .

Chickens, horses, and sails squirrels everywhere. Well groomed paths and friendly people. If youre hunting Pokemon, lots of those too.

Absolutely loved the place great for family outings

Awesome. The kids had a ball

Great place love to visit. The animals are dirty though

Very interesting and informative.

This was a really fun place! It is both educational and interesting. Staff was very knowledgeable. A great place to take a family, or even just go for a walk. So much nature and animals.

15 years I know this park and maybe its time for people to know this place exists.Go visit explore simple things live again.

Great place to visit with kids

Great little bit of history. Visited this area for the Heritage festival. Lots of fun activities for kids. Colonial dress and delicious foods like corn, burgers and craft root beer. Yum!

My little ones had great time!!!Looking forward to join more event...

Wonderful place for families to explore a real 1880s working farm. Check the Schaumburg park district website for special events at the farm! Its a great place to kick back, relax and have good ol fashion fun! Enjoy!!

So nice here! Lots to do and they have events for the whole family. check out their website for events schedule.

Absolutely a must for a whole family or as me time at least once a year. Nature trails, heritage farm, nature center, educational and fun activities throughout the year

Good organized farm and friendly people.

Really fun and interesting place. I took my wife and daughter there and our daughter had a blast chasing chickens! Yes, there are free range chickens all over this place. We took a hay ride, learned some interesting facts about the farm and local Schaumburg history. All in all great place to bring the family.

Perfect place to visit with kids. Far from roads and traffic. Animals and lots of room for play and hike. Cant reccomend enough!

My kids and I love visiting the farm! We enjoy walking the trails from the Buffalo Park and Nature Center, and seeing all the farm animals and chickens running around.

Very interesting. Like a farm that time forgot. A couple of pigs, chickens, and cows. Our son really likes it. We got some family photos taken here.

Liked the rustic feel of the place, a nice glimpse into the past village life.

Interpreters vary in knowledge level but fun experience overall.

Good place for children.

VERY CUTE AND COZY FARM IN THE HEART OF SCHAUMBURG. GREAT FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.SCHEDULES FOR EVENTS ARE ON WEBSITE.

Superb period farm! Our 2 girls love it here!

Terrific place to bring the little ones for a bit of nature in a throwback setting of a farm

If was great seeing the way my ancestors lived. My maiden name is Volkening.

We went to this farm on 2014, I have a 17yr old Girl and a 15yr old Boy and a ((5yr old I Babysit)) and were planning on going to the farm this year again. my Kids already ask me about the farm for this year they liked it, the animals my Daughter loves chicken so she had lots of fun around them, and they learn how to make Butter that was great...The experience was/is great..

This place is a hidden gem in Schaumburg. The farm and connecting trail are pretty secluded and a nice get away from the daily hustle.

Wonderful place to go to with your family on a Saturday afternoon and to see animals from a different perspective.I loved my visits to this place.

Our favorite places! Cant even describe how beautiful there!

This place is great for kids to visit, just walk around. In the Spring they often have cute piglets. By fall the pigs are smelly teenagers.

We always have a good time here. The trails are nice and we love seeing the farm animals!

This is a great educational place for parents and children alike. The programs they offer are very fun too.

Fun place to walk around with your kids and see farm animals.

It was like taking a step out of time. The people there were in character and were very willing to explain how things were back in the day.

Awesome place.... delicious honey and syrup..... and not to forget the animals....

Wonder place to walk. Farm, animals, & outdoor water area fir kids.

Beautiful place to come to relax and walk around and see some nature

The neatest place in SchaumburgVery nice for kids.

Amazingly beautiful~Very sweet & friendly people

Excellent place to take your kids in. This place shows the old ways farming, farmers houses and lives. Very friendly staff will let your kids touch cows, horses, pigs, chickens. Also once a year they butcher one of those pigs(of course not in front of kids) and roast. Roasted pork on bonfire, mmmmmhhh.

Nice little farm

Great day trip been here many times great staff and very educational.

Beautiful nature walk, the farm is a working farm with cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. The play area is huge and full of different activities for kids of all ages.

Really nice area you wouldnt expect to find less than 10 minutes from Woodfield mall.

Staff was warm and welcoming. Great place to take the kids for an afternoon.

Amazing place, 10/10! Great staff, wonderful farm and a great, fun, learning experience!
