So sad. Every year for 20 years our family and extended family has come to get our tree here. Since then the prices have become so astronomical at both farms, even unreasonable. Now admission to the tree farm (and it's 10 a person), plus a costly tree, plus prices on all the activities (this I can I understand). The owners have become greedy and this is not what Christmas is about. Our family cannot afford to come here and will not be going here any longer (I'm sure we won't be the only ones). Its sad to see a family event and tradition that brought so much joy in growing up burdened by those who are greedy, and taken the magic out of a Christmas tradition. I can understand charging for the use of fire wood, the cost of a tree or even a time frame around the fires but what they have begun to charge is plain mean and they are taking advantage. If I can add, our family as well as others enjoy the rustic nature of the second farm, no activities/lights/showtime are needed. I know this is the reason they will say there is extra admission, and will try to change. This is the commercial aspect some are trying to escape. It's detestable. Kids are fine being with their families cutting a tree in itself.

I took my 3 and 5 year old boys there on the weekend. They absolutely loved it. So many things to do including the train (which we went on 4 times), enjoying their first ride on a horse and having a campfire. I didnt love having to pay an extra 10 for the campfire based on the fact that there were only 3 of us (if we had a bigger group, it would have been included). Overall it was a bit pricey but I don't think that warrants a low star rating because overall it was a really enjoyable Christmas experience. To put it into perspective, my sister took her kids for photos with Santa east of the GTA - the entire thing lasted about 15min where they took them from post to post reading parts of a Christmas story as they went, they got a small cookie decorating kit to go and sat on a bench near Santa and took their OWN photos, and got a hot chocolate to go. That cost her 20 a person, so 80 for the entire family! At Sloan's Christmas village you can spend the day there, bring your own snacks to enjoy by the fire, go on the train/ziplines as many times as you want, enjoy the hay maze/park set/obstacle course etc etc... and that cost me 65 total for the 3 of us including the extra campfire fee and tax. I will be going again next year and bringing more family (hopefully by then covid is a thing of the past).
Great place with plenty of activities for children. My son didn't want to leave! We plan to come back every year.
Updated review for 2nd annual visit. Going to be a tradition. Great spot for the Christmas season whether you buy a tree or not! Hours of family fun! Admission is truly worth it for all of the value you get! They had pony rides, train rides, farm animals, candle making, a blacksmith, giant hay bale castle with a maze of tunnels which the kids loved, about 300 camp fires you can sit around on benches enjoying hot chocolate, smores, or whatever you decide to bring. There were a lot of coolers! The tree farm part was down to a science too! They shake the stuff out of the tree you pick so you don't bring unwanted things into your house. They also wrap the tree tightly so it is easy to transport. The trees seemed expensive though. I would go back again this year because it was so great!
Excellent family fun. Staff very helpful and great value for what is provided. Especially impressed with being able to have your own campfire throughout the day. Trees are some of the best I've ever seen. Will definitely come back.
