"Really enjoyable place"

While we did not actually buy a tree, because they were not the best looking trees, we had a fabulous afternoon here.  We made wreaths (a big hit with the 11 year old girls in our group), had a picnic with a view of the ocean (a big hit with everyone), and swung on these very cool swings on LONG, LONG ropes...also with an ocean view (a hit with the 5 and 11 year olds, and surprisingly, with the grown ups, too).  We roasted marshmallows, and ran down the hill.  It was just a really fun afternoon.  The people who run it are so very gracious.  Plan to make wreaths at $10 a piece instead of cutting a tree and have a great time.

"Great Fun For Everyone"

We really enjoyed cooking marshmellows over the fire, wandering through the trees, having a picnic, and playing on the giant swings.  It was a little crowded on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but we still had a great time.  Oh, there were dogs off the leash everywhere, so if your children have a dog phobia, be prepared.  Overall, we recommend this Christmas tree farm because it is easy to get to and in a beautiful location along the Pacific coast, and there are many activities to enjoy.

"Rural Rustic and Fun Farm"

I do like this Farm for several reason. The drive to the farm doesn't involve a windy road.  (My 5 year old son gets car sick pretty easily.)  They have some nice activities at the farm beyond cutting a tree, but they don't involved cheesy bouncy houses and fake train rides.  They have tractor rides and giant swings.   They keep it simple but fun.  I really love the giant fire pit that you can roast hot dogs or marshmallows at.  There are also some nice picnic benches.  The down side is that while they have a decent variety of trees, the quality of the trese aren't the best.  You can cut down any size tree for $45, even the really huge ones, but in reality if you're looking for something about 15-18 ft tall, it's pretty hard to find one here.  Our kids loved the tractor ride through the trees.
