Bring your kids of all ages here-especially in springtime to see the baby pigs, lambs, chickens etc. The piglets are adorable! Nice place to walk around with kids, and a great sliding board.

Our family enjoys going to Frying Pan park, especially in the springtime when new animal babies are out! It's awesome that it's free, and you can walk about at your leisure. The playgrounds are fun, and the hayride and carousel are good if you need an extra activity. Lots of space available for picnics, so we can easily spend a... More

Frying Pan Park is a hidden gem. Not far from Dulles airport it's a working farm museum. The staff are very friendly and informed. The kids can see all sorts of farm animals. For the techno-geeky inclined there's a geo cache (perhaps more than one) there. Frying Pan park is also where the turkeys that the President pardons each Thanksgiving... More

If you want your crowded suburb-living Fairfax kids to see animals, this is as quick and easy as anyplace. Some well fed and well loved pigs, goats, and cows - even a peacock or two. My wife came here to take horse riding lessons, which were great, while the toddler and I wandered around climbing rocks, and the playgrounds nextdoor... More

We took our 2 young grandchildren a couple of times and it is always fun. There is a nice playground and small store in addition to all the farm animals that children have a chance to pet. This makes for a fun activity for a few hours and we will continue to go when we visit. Each season brings new... More

I had occasion to visit the park twice over the the past couple of weeks, once with my granddaugther and once with my grandson, both nearing the age of two. The cost is free, which is always a good thing. It's a large enough setting, but on a cold day you probably want to head straight to the Kidwell Barn... More

I love this little farm. I take my little dog there quite often. There are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, peacocks, chickens... adults and babies. The nest time to go is when the babies are born. It is amazing to see a mommy pig feeding her babies. Often, you might see horses when they have a special events. It is nice... More

We lived near Frying Pan Park for 13 years and took our kids there all the time! It never got old. The animals were always right there at the fence for kids to see, the country store was a huge highlight, and there was a playgound to boot! My kids took classes and camps there in the summer which were... More

We wre invited to the birthday party for a dear friend. Before the event we took the tome to stroll the grounds. This is the last working non-vinyard farm in Fairfax County. This is the location of the annual Fairfax County kid's fair. The opportunity for non-farm parents and their children is a treasure to the county. it is well... More
