1 / 3Centennial Farm
đ Costa Mesa, CA
A three-acre working farm at the OC Fair and Event Center with livestock, fruit and vegetable gardens, and the Millennium Barn. Daily public hours on weekdays with free admission in the afternoon. Junior Farmer Tours and Discovery Days run regularly.
Loved attending the 35th birthday of the farm ! such an amazing experience hanging out with the animals. my favorites were the Holstein cows and pygmy angora goats ! was also lovely with live music and beautiful gardens and the goody bag provided such sweet souvenirs. it was also super educational too- I didn't know little piggies could have fun playing with big rubber balls ! 10 outta 10 would go again
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with young children wanting close animal contact and agricultural learning without a rural drive. Weekday afternoon free admission makes it a strong low-cost outing. The compact three-acre layout keeps it manageable for toddlers.

âAwesome place to take your kids for a good time and have interactions with animals walk in the garden and learn about different vegetables planted in the farm they can pet the animals, learn how to milk a cow, learn about the rabbits, peacock and chickens. The best part that is free from 1-4pm Monday to Friday free parking too.â

âGreat place for the kids to get a farm type experience. Grounds are well maintained and clean. See the farm animals and farm produce grown on site. Parking is free as long as there aren't any events going on. There are picnic tables by hero hall if you need to take a quick snack breakâ

âI really enjoyed my visit to Centennial Farms at the Orange County Fair. I learned about oxen, saw newly born piglets, and watched a cow milking demonstration.â
