What a gem of a place to take your children right in the heart of South Jersey! This is what agrotourism should look like: a family with a farm that got passed onto the next generation who decided to do something fun and unique for the families of the community and beyond.
Coombs Barnyard has year round public activities and events that are loads of fun for the entire family. We went last weekend for one of our favorite seasonal events, the flashlight corn maze! Every year they carve out a beautiful pattern in their corn for you to find your way through at night. It's just the right level of fun and ever so slightly eerie for the entire family (I've been there with 3 week olds to 17 year olds!). Throughout the rest of the year they hold phenomenal other family friendly holiday and seasonal events and make sure to keep your eyes peeled for Farm Camp as it is a hot commodity when they post it in these parts!
They have also JUST redone their back barn and it is absolutely stunning inside. Lucky for you, they are dipping their toes into private events so make sure to reach out if you're interested in having your next shower, birthday, or event there - (when I say stunning, I really mean it)! The cool thing is it is extremely elegant for something like a shower but there is also an enormous play area as well for kids and birthday parties.
I can't recommend Coombs enough and hope they keep finding...
Read moreCoombs is the best! We love coming here. We first learned about the farm when we heard about their Tractor Parade - it's become a family tradition to go every year.
Amanda and Betty are the sweetest. They treat you like family and run the best events. We've done most of the events from Tots on the Farm, Barnyard Bash, Egg/Veggie Hunt, Flash Light Corn Maze, Farm Camp, to the Tractor Parade. I even made the mistake of telling my daughter we are going to the Princess Party and all she does is ask is today the day we get to go?! Their events are well run, yet low-key so you have plenty of time to go at your own pace and enjoy the farm.
My kids are now old enough to do their Farm Camp and it's the highlight of their summer - my son wishes he could live there.
The new barn is AMAZING and the kids loved the play area when we were there for the corn maze recently. Thank you again Amanda and Betty for helping us track down our kids after those turds took off in the corn maze and lost us. The parents were panicked and the kids had the best time ever and are still so proud they made it out themselves.
I can't recommend Coombs enough - it's such a lovely farm with awesome events and the best staff! Thank you for all the memories and looking forward to all the new memories we...
Read moreCoombs is an amazing location to bring your family. We have celebrated birthdays, gone to events here at this location. My boys love their Santa tractor parade where locals bring their tractors to show off; decorated in holiday spirit. They also host flashlight corn maze; a family tradition. Keep an eye on their social media pages! They will fill you in on all of the farms events. Because there is a lot to offer. From camps, birthday parties, and season events this place is amazing. They have a barn dedicated to children’s play and a tractor train which was my boys favorite when they were little. There is a cost which is determined by the location for certain events; so be mindful and respectful to the staff. Our family normally brings cash but if I remember correctly last year we paid with card so they have machines for credit card purchases. Durning events they will have drinks and snacks. Which yes you have to pay for. They will also at times have crafts for the kids and homemade crafts for sale. All in all a really nifty experience. Again, keep an eye on their Facebook page. They will tell you when they are open to the public for their events. They also have a website! Go and...
