    We are local and go to Drumlin a lot. My kids love the farm animals and wild life there. They do a good job in educational programs. Do check program schedules ahead of time. The farm runs in-season farm stand selling fresh vegetables and eggs. Audubon Shop is a good place to find unique gifts and crafts. Admission is free for Audubon members and they charge a small fee to nonmembers.

    Took our 2 year old triplet grandchildren to the Drumlin Farm, part of the Audubon Society. There are plenty of animals to see and/or pet: sheep, goats, cows, pigs. We also saw a pony, Midnite, being groomed. The chicken house is great as it houses several varieties of breeds of chickens with explanations about their history and uses such as eggs and meat.It also has a rabbit hutch so children can see a couple of rabbits. while visiting. On the way to see the animals, there are a number of cages of birds, including turkey vultures, hawks and owls. In the last cage is an active member of the weasel family called a fisher.The hay ride was great particularly because my grandson loves tractors and we sat right behind as we took our ride. He kept saying, "Lady drives the tractor!"The farm also has a terrific store with a variety of materials for adults and children. Highly recommended!

    My 4 and 6 year old really liked Drumlin, especially the hay ride ($1 kids, $2 for adults) and seeing the birds. We spent about two hours there and it was well worth the trip.

    Drumlin Farm is a working farm that is part of the Massachusetts Audubon Society. It's a great place to spend the day, go for a picnic and learn about birds, wildlife, conservation and farming. The farm offers classes to people of all ages and provides camp experiences for children in the summer. There are several programs every year specifically for the developmentally disabled and the individual staffing one of the educational tables when we were there most recently, had Down Syndrome. The Audubon Society is involved in protecting wildlife and is a sanctuary for injured birds that can no longer live in the wild. There are walking paths, and a vegetable farm that provides produce for their CSA in the summer. There is a play area for children, and hayrides. Annual memberships to the Farm are very reasonable.

    We've taken our children here through the years, and now we're taking our grandchildren. It is consistently a great place to walk around, see the animals (domestic and wild - note that the wild ones are animals which came to Drumlin Farm injured and can no longer survive on their own), and partake in activities throughout the year - plus there's a great gift shop. There's also a great summer camp program, which, again, our children participated in and now our grandchildren attend. Definitely, make this part of your day in the country. Wear comfy shoes, as there's a lot of walking. Almost everything is wheelchair accessible.

    This sanctuary is very well done - there is a nice variety of animals both wild and domestic. The variety of chickens was amazing and the pens/cages for all the animals were very large giving lots of roaming space - great to see. We visited mid-winter so the weather was not great but it was still well worth the visit. We will definitely go again!

    I love visiting Drumlin. You can walk around and see all the farm animals, but they also have an assortment of rare animals; all of whom were rescues and are kept in nice habitats. We live nearby and always take our visitors there. Would be great for people with kids as they have a play area and hay rides.

    I'll start by saying that Drumlin Farm seems like a great place to take my three-year-old. He loves the poultry house, where he can collect toy eggs from underneath toy hens, then sort and weigh them. There are also animals to visit, from sheep to owls to many breeds of chicken.That said, we will not be returning to their annual event, the Sap to Syrup Breakfast. For $15 for adults and $12 for kids over 2, it is too expensive and too rushed. The seatings are every half-hour, which means that you have to march inside (each seating group has to wait outside in line until called), find a table, get the kids settled, wait in the food line, then eat your pancakes and sausages, all in 25 minutes. Meanwhile, 10 minutes in they ask you for money for raffle tickets. Then at minute 25 they tell you to pack up and leave. I was in a group of 4 adults and 5 kids, and by the time we took off our coats and sat down, the food line had over 40 people. By the time we were eating pancakes, we had about 10 minutes to eat. When I went back for one more pancake, the lady told me it was closed (even though 5 volunteers were all standing there, waiting to serve the next seating). They measure out the food carefully -- you're not allowed to have too many hash browns, or too many sausages. The whole thing felt like we were being soaked for money, then sent on our way.

    Enjoy baby animals, gardens and barns. They have great seasonal and educational opportunities too. If your kid is very young, bring a stroller as some of the distances can seem like a long walk. Sometimes bug spray is a good idea. You can bring a picnic lunch.

    We have spent a lot of time at Drumlin including classes and day camp. Just the right size and not overwhelming. It is a great place to walk, see animals, play and learn. Excellent education staff.

    Cows, chickens, pig, goats, sheep, a fox, horses, owls, vegetable gardens, farm life --lots to see in a low-key setting. No pressure here but be prepared to walk alot, especially on the way back to the parking area which requires a long uphill trudge, tiring for weary kids and parents. Wonderful seasonal special events (sheepshearing, pancake breakfast, Halloween). I've taken a photography classmhere and also two toddler classes with my 3-year-old grandson (he milked a cow, collected eggs, tasted sap fresh from the tree and learned how to make butter and maple syrup)--all excellent and fun. If you are a birder, you need tomknow about programs here. Nice folks, too. Gift shop is full of nature-related things for kids and adults, especially birders.

    Drumlin Farm is a great place for young families. They have a good selection of animals (raptors, sheep, chickens, pigs, goats, a pony) and the enclosures are all clean and welcoming. The grounds are also beautiful -- once you descend the little hill from the welcome area, you feel as if you've really left the greater Boston area and arrived at a working farm. There's also a nice gift shop and a little farmer's market. All in all, a great place to spend a morning or afternoon.If you're from the area, it's worth getting the Audubon membership -- it pays for itself after two visits.

    This is an easy place for kids to love. Only about 15-20 miles outside of Boston, Drumlin farm is an excellent nature experience. There are plenty of animals to see up close, and it's small enough to walk around without kids getting too tired. There seems to be alot of programs and special events that they do, as well as hay rides, and plenty of employees spread throughout the farm to answer questions. Overall a great outdoor family destination.

    We went for the Woolapalooza. My son is two and he had a great time seeing the sheep get sheared and the babies being born. My mother in law got to buy some yarn and we got to watch the shepherding dogs in action. The grounds are beautiful with great food and bathrooms. The many barns and the tractor my son could sit on were big hits. There were kids of all sizes having a grand time and all the adults were having fun too. Cannot wait to go back.

    We go to Drumlin a lot and my kids love it. It is small enough for them to know it inside and out. They have lots of programs and every one is very helpful. I think once kids get a little older they would be bored.
