Westmoor Park — Attraction in West Hartford

What looks like a great little demonstration farm, is also a great place to wander through the woods and fields and experience a pristine natural environment. Bring your little ones here to meet all the farm animals, like chickens, cows, goats, lamas, pigs, and even a horse. There are also bunnies, ducks, and a goose. Inside the office you will find snakes, lizards, and frogs. But that's only half the farm. Manicured gardens stretch 100s of feet to the back of the field. There you will find paths the meander past ponds and a brook and into a small forest hidden within this West Hartford treasure. This place loses a star since I can't bring my dogs to walk along the paths with me. Picnicking is also not allowed. These restrictions are mainly to protect the animals that live here and are also why this park tends to be the most well kept in terms of litter. If you live nearby, you should certainly visit...

We have done night hikes, campfires, and ghost stories with the boy scouts and have taken hay rides around the property by tractor.

We have also eaten there at catered events at the farm. The dinner’s exquisite. A fun, serene, and pretty setting. Worth...

This park is on 162 acres; it's a farm, trail, and education center.

The coolest part are the barnyard animals and large garden. They are open all year round so it's a nice spot to take the kids or yourself to. There are three miles of trails too; don't forget your duck boots, we went after rain and it was muddy but fun nonetheless. There's even a half mile of that trail that is handicap accessible.

There is a discovery room that has reptiles, amphibians, and a parrot! There were plenty of parking when we went. A great spot to...
