1 / 3White Post Farms of Melville
📍 Melville, NY
Seasonal farm on Long Island featuring a children's farm, petting zoo, hayrides, poodle and canine shows, a Giraffe Experience with Long Island's first farm-born giraffe, and seasonal activities including pumpkin picking and Easter egg hunts.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ White Post Farms is the perfect family day out! 🎃🐐🚜 From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and everything was beautifully organized. The hayride was such a fun and relaxing ride through the farm—great views, festive vibes, and perfect for kids and adults alike. We especially loved the pumpkin painting station—such a creative and hands-on activity that made for great fall memories. The kids had a blast decorating their pumpkins and showing them off. And of course, the petting zoo was a huge hit! From goats and llamas to bunnies and pigs, all the animals were friendly, well cared for, and eager for attention. You can tell the staff really love what they do and care deeply about the animals. Everything was clean, safe, and full of charm. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like a kid again. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone who loves a wholesome seasonal experience!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 3–10 who want a full day of varied seasonal activities rather than a single attraction. The combination of live animals, shows, rides, and crafts sustains engagement for 4–5 hours. Weekend visits unlock additional activities and the full package pricing.

“Spent the day at White Post Farms and we all had an amazing time. From the wide array of shows, picture op locations, fantastic animal farm for feeding, petting & viewing, a pumpkin decorating area, pony rides, hay ride, train ride, bird aviary, and more . . . all aspects good as it gets. The excellent, user-friendly layout and cleanliness of the Farm made for such an enjoyable day for the whole family. Another greatly appreciated aspect of White Post Farm is the stellar team, each person was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and totally cared about your good time. An added bonus was the world-class brisket, pulled pork& beans, and the grilled corn. Be back soon.”

“Came here for a fall day with friends! I definitely recommend this as a group outing. We ordered our tickets online 2 for $73. Shows, hayride and zoo included with more. They also have sooo many photo ops and great popcorn. I recommend getting the freeze and bake chicken pot pie for $38! It was delicious!”
