Spence's Farm Review

The animals are so much fun! There's so much to learn here and it's so good for kids!

We love Spence's Farm! It has been an amazing place for our daughter!

Superior atmosphere for children and adults. I highly recommend Spence's Farm for both families and single adults. The birthday parties are great and the after school and summer camp is a big hit. The owner, Spence, really cares about making sure everyone has not only a fun time but also a comes away with great learning experience. I highly recommend this place.

Great intro to horse riding! They were able to learn about communicating with the horses, grooming the horses and being brave!

My family went to the Fall Festival event here today and I was very dissatisfied. I'm shocked that they are allowed to operate the zip line they have. The kids aren't attached or hooked on in any way. They fly down the zip line and get stopped so suddenly it jolts them almost upside down. It's incredibly dangerous. The bounce house wasn't manned and so many kids were on it. The "event" was a mess and I don't ever plan on returning.

don't forget to look up the Indy review (local newspaper) from last year describing the owner's (Spence) very questionable behavior with underage girls and questionable safety ideas with anyone's kids. i have worked with several people the past two years that have told me personal stories of shockingly negligent and sexist (pedophile) behavior from him. i have kids, i went there for a Halloween event before i knew his history. i was scared of the things my son was participating in and we left early. if you have kids, do the research on him. dont take my word on it.

We moved to the area in January 2017 and Spence's was the place that made my son feel at home right away. He has gone there for aftercare as well as summer camp. (Age 7) My son loves it and so do I! I recommend this place for anyone who wants to encourage their children to be relaxed, confident, and independent.

I love Spence's farm for my kids. This summer was the second year they went to summer camp there and they came home just elated every day. The first year they were too intimidated to interact with the animals much, but this year we measured the days by 'I held a bunny' or not. 10/10 bunny holding days, plus egg finding, chicken holding, pond swimming, hiking and horseback riding. Paradise.

One of the best places in chapel hill. An awesome experience!!!!

Lots of fun for the kiddos! Thank you for teaching them manners around the animals.

We had a party for our 8-year-old and it was great. This is the place to come if you want an active/educational/nature-based party.

Spence and his staff encourage the children to go pond swimming in rainy, 55-degree weather. I know Spence likes the kids to independent and face their fears, but that to me is just irresponsible. There s a difference between having a hands-off approach and being neglectful Spence!

I am buying a horse from them and Spence is such an amazing guy and all his staff are so great and there after school program and the summer program is amazing I would definitely recommend him to some family's I know

Such an educational and fun experience. Both kids and parents enjoyed here a lot! The instructors/tour guides are very knowlegible and helpful.

I had the opportunity to sign my daughter up for one of their mini camps; she resisted at first in terms of going to a new place. When it was time to pick up she cried immensely-she proceeded to tell me how much she discovered just in one day. I am definitely thinking about putting her in the summer camp!

One of the best b-day event I experenced. Instructor was amazing.

I love spences farm, and I have been coming here almost half my life. At spences farm you learn core values that can help you be a better and successful person in life. At spences farm you have a family, at spences farm you become a better person.

5 stars Excellent lesson. We were very impressed! Our daughter loved it and we are thankful for the lessons she learned today. Will definitely be back.

We certainly had an amazing, informative, and fun time at a birthday party. We definitely hope to return - maybe for a birthday part of our own! This was so much fun!

I went here as a kid (I m now 22.) I have amazing memories at this farm working with the animals and making friends. It s a real opportunity to learn life skills and compassion for animals. However, there were a few safety concerns looking back. On trips to the river, he encouraged the kids to pick up random snakes and said it was ok if it bit them. And, from personal experience, I was dehydrated one time during the summer. I was denied taking a break to get water, the staff wouldn t call my family when I felt sick from the dehydration and was denied sitting in the house with the AC. Besides some questionable safety situations, it was a very enjoyable place to go to as a kid.

What an amazing place. AMAZING. We just had our daughter's birthday party here and it included SO many activities, led by Spence himself. This was an awesome, AND educational experience for the whole family. Kind of want to have my birthday party here too now. Lol.
What an adventure!!!
