Loved it, as usual! Kids enjoyed the new additions, feeding the animals, and the additions of swings was great! Nice to have a place to sit that wasn’t near the food area. The Fry Shack is where it’s at. Thank you, Layman’s for providing great family fun; such a clean and welcoming place.

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful family experience. Our family came up on October 15th. We had a wonderful time and so enjoyed the mazes. Thank you for giving us an attraction that the entire family enjoyed :)

One staff member went above and beyond and we were so surprised and grateful! Our daughter was jumping on the bouncy pad and she slid into some water that was on the pad. A staff member went to a local store and purchased an outfit for my daughter to change in to. Then, she walked around and found us and gave us the outfit. We couldn’t believe the kindness and concern for our daughter. So impressed! Highly recommend Layman Farms!

My two boys and I have just come home from the most delightful time at Layman Family Farms. Thank you so very much for opening up your farm for us to be able to come and just have so much fun. It is nice to be able to take a nice drive from Roanoke, and know that when we get to the farm, it will be a time of wholesome play and fun. -Trena

Had a great homeschool field trip today!! The kids enjoyed everything. The wagon ride, pumpkin patch, cow train and much more! The apple sippers in the jack-o-lantern plastic bottles were a very refreshing drink on such a hot day! And the staff was very friendly!

I went yesterday with my daughter, her husband and my 3 grandaughters. We really enjoyed it. The farm is so clean and the staff very courteous and helpful. A wonderful way to spend the day with family! We plan to make it a yearly tradition!
