At our recent Mom's playdate planning session, we decided that Round Hill Park definitely needed to be one of our summer destinations! It's a bit of a drive (Elizabeth, PA) for many of us, but everyone seemed to think it was worth it. This past week, my family & I headed out to see why so many moms have raved about this spot. Yep, we definitely found out - it's an awesome space!

When you first turn into the farm, you will see a pond with ducks & geese. You may want to bring bread or one of them may chase your entire family. Just say'n. :)
From there we went on the self-guided tour through the farm. It is a beautiful space with wide paths, so strollers would have no problems.
The animals that are out may vary by season. We saw a cow hooked up for milking, (baby!) sheep, pigs, goats, chickens & rabbits.
Toward the end of the path is a beautiful herb garden. And if you're lucky enough, sometimes the grapes are in season!
Behind the white fence you may spot horses, cows or sheep!
Thirsty? A well fountain pump is there for a cold thirst quencher.
After the farm tour, you can choose to drive to either the spray park or playground parking lots.
The spray park opens Saturday, May 31st!
There is a fantastic playground with several surrounding picnic tables.
I would suggest bringing:
- Chairs or a blanket to sit on at the spray park as there are not a lot of surrounding seats.
- Cups / buckets for the kids to use at the spray park.
- Bread to feed the ducks. You are not allowed to feed any of the farm animals.
- Picnic lunch. There are lots of tables / spaces to eat. Although, a picnic blanket is a good idea as well.
- I also was told that the Red Caboose, a quaint little restaurant nearby, comes highly recommended. They mostly sell hot dogs / hamburgers / fries. And it's super cheap!
Well done, Round Hill Park. Thanks for being such a great family destination!
