Hill Ridge Farms - Picnic ground in Youngsville - 703 Tarboro Rd, USA

First time going for their Christmas Lights and it was so amazing! It was definitely bigger than I was expecting, and I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to go back with more friends and family. I would suggest bringing some hot chocolate and snacks for the ride cause they don't have a concession stand.

Nice farm for younger kids. I brought two kids, one is 9yo and the other is 15yo. My younger child had a much better time. We did the train ride, carousel, gem mining, duck race and pumpkin patch. We enjoyed all of it. They also have animals you can feed but you need quarters for the machine. They have a lot to eat too like funnel cake, kettle corn, apple cider donuts, hot dogs, etc. There were tons of option to choose from and all very kid friendly foods. For tickets it was $20 to enter but if you want to do a la carte stuff like the train ride and carousel it is better to get the $30 ticket. The more expensive option allows for unlimited train and carousel as well as a gem mining kit that is normally $12. I'd highly recommend this farm especially if you have younger kids.

Pretty fun place with lots of things for the kiddos to do. Feeding farm animals, "train" ride, small carousel, bouncy inflatable, and tractor ride to a sunny open field to select a pumpkin. The kids have fun but the cost is definitely too high for what it is. Not to mention with a regular $20 ticket, you will pay $4 per person for the carousel and "train" ride. Fun, just very pricey.

Attending the Festival of Lights at Hill Ridge Farm for the first time was a great experience. The entrance fee is $20 in cash or $23 via credit card. The event is well-organized, but the waiting time was a bit long, taking almost an hour to get into the venue. Cars are kept in separate lanes, moving one at a time, which could lead to a 15 to 20-minute wait before starting to move. Bad timing for us , as we stayed a bit longer in the wait lane. We observed a car breakdown in the driveway, adding to the delay(probably). Once in the single-lane driveway, the cars kept moving smoothly. The ride was enjoyable for both kids and adults, and we appreciated the effort the team put into transforming the place into a winter wonderland. The snow machine was a hit with the kids, making the overall experience worthwhile.

I love coming here every year to go on the hayride and train. There's tons of things to do, especially for the kiddos. The trusty maze, swings, a huge bouncy house, a massive bouncy pillow thing, and the infamous mountain slide. Yummy food all over the place, get some apple cider donuts!

Prices are getting a little steep, but at least you feel like it's some what worth it. There is a lot to do. You also get 1 free pumpkin with admission from the pumpkin patch. As a parent I enjoyed that part the most. They have lots to do for the little ones. The food trucks and concessions are ok, it's mostly microwave corn dogs and cold nachos. But honestly I don't go there for the food. Jumping pads, corn pit, hay for the kids to play in, seems odd but the kids loved it! They have a carousel, train and tractor rides. We purchased the Christmas light ticket for $10 if you buy it now with your admission. Overall plan to spend some money, we had fun and will most likely do it again unless they raise their prices.

Had a blast here!! I have to be honest and this is only my opinion, it's a little costly, but it truly is worth every penny! There is so much to do, some of our favorites were definitely the corn pit, feeding and just watching the goats, the HUGE blow up bouncy pad, panning for gems, the tunnel slide, the rolley slide thing that's in the video, the train, the tube swings, and of course the hay ride to the humongous pumpkin patch! When we went, it was PACKED, but the place is sooo big, it didn't feel crowded at all! We are definitely planning on visiting again next year, and years to come!

Love their drive thru lights at Christmas time each year. We came with a group of lighted Christmas decorated jeeps, we had a blast!!!🎄 Thx for ducking jeeps!!❤️
