It was my first time visiting the farm and I was completely blown away by how awesome it was. There was plenty to do for my two-year-old and for my tween stepdaughters, as well as for my husband and myself. Overall, we ended up being there for 4 hours which was more than enough to wear the kiddos out. My only suggestion is that employees have a checklist they have to go over when they reset the escape room. There was a couple things that were a little off and there was a shift change of employees and we found out that when we entered the room it was not set up properly so things were already open (we didn't have to solve it because it was already solved) or something wasn't working right. The guy was really nice and gave us the opportunity to restart the clock but the surprise of solving the puzzle had lost its fizzle. Still a really good experience. I don't think we would have solved it without their help anyways, but I may have felt a little bit differently towards it if I wasn't with my children and with a group of friends instead. Overall, I still give the farm five stars and I look forward to coming back for future trips. Everybody was really nice. While waiting for my rest of the family to come out of the shop, I was chatting with an employee, I really nice young man who told me that families were welcome to take one pumpkin with them and we let my two-year-old son pick one. Just a really good experience and a really good day. So thank you to the people who put in a lot of effort into making Saunders Farm what it is, it was definitely a top notch experience for us where we all got to enjoy something!

So much fun at Saunders farm! As a kid, I used to go here every Halloween for their events, but didn't truly realize how much else they have to offer until recently when we took my stepson to the big bounce, bouncy castle adventures this summer. Endless bouncing fun which includes the biggest bouncy castle (in Canada or ever, can't remember!). There was also a tent where they sold some of their ciders, some popcorn and others bites to eat. Around the property, there are play structures, ice cream, and some vendors. An enjoyable time but rather pricey, and especially for an adult to accompany a child. Prices were the only reason I give a 4 star. Going to Saunders Farm for an event won't disappoint and I'll see ya at Halloween!

I can’t believe this amazing facility is so close to us, yet we’ve never visited for their Christmas time adventure. If you are in Ottawa, you must check them out. Their jumbo pretzels and pizza are delicious. The walk through light display simply beautiful and the staff were so engaging and cheerful. We also were able to visit Santa’s house, and Santa was the best part of the kids visit. We also purchased the ultimate package, and were all able to select a bear, place a heart inside, watch them stuff the bear and received an adoption certificate, showing our bears name. Thank you to the Saunders family, for creating this winter wonderland. We will make this an annual event.

I took my sister on a mystery date yesterday and we had the BEST time. This place is magical. They have thought of every detail. They even have great parking. They had Salted/sanded all of the walking trails. We had hot apple cider, bon fires, fresh donuts, and lovely little shops. There were so many photo opportunities. We go some really great photo memories and videos. For Christmas lovers this is a MUST SEE. All of the staff were so friendly. Three of them, on separate occasions, offered to take our pics! This place will become a yearly tradition for me and my family from now on. 5 stars - highly recommend!! Merry Christmas!

Just went yesterday with my daughter and her mother. That time of year where they have the winter lights and fun stuff to do in the morning as well. Experiance was great for what I paid for. Unlike some other places, saunders offers a walk through with the lights. Truly a great way to appreciate the beautiful snow and whole set up they have going on there. Added bonus you get a picture of Santa while your at saunders and can get a stuffed build a bear for a good price. Definetly worth the money I spent for the family. Plus I like the big pretzels with mustard .

My children and I have been to the Country Christmas Light tour for two years and are looking forward to it again this year. I called for some assistance booking this year and the person on the phone was so kind and helpful. We have enjoyed harvest/halloween activities here as well and each time we go the whole environment is professional, fun, authentic, and safe. Thank you to Saunders Farm and their amazing staff for helping to make our family memories so special. There are a million places to take amazing family photos here too, so well worth the trip.

Kids had a great time at the farm playing in the multiple play areas: treehouses, pirate ship, play structure, splash pad, witch mountain high slide, climbing the tower and going through 2 mazes (advertised 4 mazes but could only find 2). The 2 bouncing/giant trampolines were very popular too Better go when not too sunny as there is limited shaded play area. Lots of shaded area for parents. Hay ride was short and visited an upcoming orchard. If going for animals the farm has no animals, no petting zoo.

I had an incredible experience at the Saunders Farm Midsummer Scare event on Friday and Saturday. The venue was expertly designed, and the staff went above and beyond to create an unforgettable atmosphere. The food, ciders, and scares were all exceptional, leaving no detail overlooked. The performers' commitment to their characters was truly impressive, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the event. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the Midsummer Scare event at Saunders Farm.

It was amazing how big the property is, and the variety of activities to keep both kids and adults entertained. I always thought there was only one maze, but there were actually three. The zip-line was fun. The pizza at the restaurant was excellent. It was just very odd how I had to walk to a different area to get poutine, and they weren't exactly next door to each other. I tried the flight of apple ciders, and the candy apple was my favourite.

This location is a fabulous destination for family visits, providing a broad variety of foods and entertainment options. Guests can immerse themselves in an array of activities, including enjoyable mazes and hay rides, amongst other appealing attractions. The farm shop enriches the experience further, boasting a diverse selection of local goods such as cider, pumpkins, and corn. You can buy a day pass either in the gate or online. There’s plenty of parking, but beware that during the weekends it might be busy.

I was so impressed with this place. I can't wait to see what they do at Halloween, the Aug fright night was awesome. Props to the DJ as well who was reading the... field? flipping between classic dance tracks and modern pop like an Ibiza club night resident. Clearly the hot night out for the teen set and with good reason, my kids loved it (almost as much as I did).

I recently went to Saunders Farm for the Big Bounce Canada event. It is a great location and had ample space to accommodate all of big bouncy castle equipment. The venue itself, minus this one time attraction, has a lot to offer and many different activities throughout the year. Staff are welcoming and very friendly and there is ample parking for visitors. I definitely recommend it for families and for anyone wanting a day out with friends.

As expected, we had a fantastic time! So impressed at all of the haunts - it's incredible what they pull off every year. The actors roaming the grounds are awesome too and ensure you're always expecting to get scared. Lots of great photo ops, spots to stop for snacks and drinks, and the lines for the haunts move fast! We have loved Saunders Farm for decades and love to come back every few years to see what's new.

I recently attended Pumpkin Days and had a great time. The event offered a variety of drinks, food, activities, and vendors. My favorite was the haunted hayride. If you're considering attending, I highly recommend it. I plan on returning for future Pumpkin Days events and would also like to try the Fright Fest at night.

Lovely! It is an experience that is worth having. My family and I loved every minute we spent at the farm. The attendants were courteous and friendly. The finger food was also great. I am hoping that a bigger warm area can be added to what already exists to accommodate days when there are lots of families visiting.

Love visiting Saunders Farm. Great way to enjoy the outdoors for Halloween or Christmas. I love how much hard work is put into the decor and attractions. The staff are always polite and friendly. The food is delicious too!

We absolutely loved bringing our 3.5 year old twins to the Christmas at Night event. They had so much fun running around in the snow and seeing the lights. We enjoyed Bratwurst sausages, hot apple cider and donuts! Perfect Christmas Bucket List activity for December!

Went on the Christmas stroll and it was spectacular! The oven burning pizza was the best I have had! Great service, people and a really fun evening! Highly recommend!

A wonderful magical evening at Saunders Farm. The Elves and Santa brought the magic to life. Remembering my kids’ name throughout the evening and listening closely to the entire Christmas list made this visit so special. We will return:) More

Went for Fright Fest and had a decent time. We purchased the “RIP” tickets, which I think are a bit overpriced ($99 each), but it ended up being worth it to not have to wait very long for the haunts (some of the general admission lines were

Lovely place to spend a couple of hours in the afternoon. Very good play area for younger kids and a decent range of hard ciders plus some food particularly wood fired pizzas that looked very tasty. Quite a few other items to purchase from

The holiday lights stroll is delightful. Many different sections and themes, variety of colours and light types. Good music to accompany the walk. The farm has a small restaurant and shop. Along with holiday workshops for the kids. More

Had such a fun time with my group of friends at Saunder’s farm this weekend! The haunts and the mazes are super fun - just be prepared for a bit of a wait in line (not to get inside but for each haunt). More

Very nice experience for the holidays period! They have a festival of lights in the evenings, you can make a teddy bear, see Santa and the elves, taste hot cider. Very cool christmas activity

Amazing farm for the whole family! There is something for everyone to do. The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly! I would highly recommend to everyone! More

It's a great time. We go every year. It's too bad we were in the rain which created alot of mud but it just added to the experience. Micheal The Designer from Wflowers

Saunders Farm is an amazing place for Fright Fest! The haunted attractions are thrilling and the atmosphere is spooky fun! Highly recommend!

Amazing family fun. Highly recommended for young children. Buy tickets online, there is a $10~ discount per person if you do. More

The Sawmill Lansdowne experience was a blast! Four of us went and give it a 4/5!
