Are you looking to take your family on a Langley farm tour?
There is no shortage of family friendly farms to visit in Langley and the Fraser Valley. Taking your kids to visit a farm can provide them with a range of valuable experiences and learning opportunities. Visiting a farm is an educational and hands-on learning experience, gives kids a sense of connection to nature and can teach them many important life skills.
Taking your kids to visit a farm can be a fun and enriching experience that allows them to learn, explore and connect with animals, learn more about the local farming in their community and discover where their food comes from. I encourage you to take advantage of a Langley farm tour available right here in British Columbia, as they’ve got everything you need for a fun family outing: you don’t have to travel far, they’re outdoors, there’s plenty of space, and as you’ll see, there is literally something for everyone in your family to enjoy.
So throw on your favourite boots and flannel and let’s look at the best places to farm hop on a Langley farm tour this weekend!

Aldor Acres Family Farm
Pumpkins is how this Glen Valley farm started. Owners Albert and Dorothy (Al-Dor) started selling pumpkins on the honour system at the end of their driveway back in 1988, which soon became a big hit. That led to them offering hayrides out to the pumpkin patch and providing a hands-on educational farm experience to all those who visit.
This farm prides itself on being extremely hands-on (and is often referred to as the best Langley petting zoo). Guests are encouraged to buy some feed and go inside the field with the goats to feed, brush and interact with them. Head inside the barn to hold rabbits, snuggle new kittens and maybe even get to witness some baby goats or pigs being born. Climb on the haybales, head out to the back fields to walk past the the meandering creek, the old-growth forest, the sunflower patch, pumpkin patch (fall) and so much more. This is a must add to your Langley farm tour list.
And if you’re looking for treats when you’re done, pop by their Farmacy for some farm-fresh products, produce, and homemade goods.
Admission: $16 per person (Family rates and Season Passes also available). Buying tickets online in advance is recommended.
Location: 24990 84 Ave., Langley
Hours: The farm is not open daily. Check out their website for days and times they are welcoming visitors.

Maan Farms Barnyard Adventure
Maan Farms got it start back in 1977 when they started growing their famous strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. In 1982 they opened their first roadside stand and from there their farm grew and turned into the true family experience it is today. This place has everything – a petting zoo, pedal go-carts, a zip line, a spider web, corn maze and pumpkin patch (come fall), a jumping pillow, a wooden fortress, a tire clubhouse, two massive slides, and yes, they even have baby goats!
Head over to their Country Kitchen for some eats and treats including butter chicken, hot dogs, donuts and ice cream. And for the adults, there is an estate winery, goat yoga and a haunting Halloween experience.
If you and the kiddos are ready to get out and explore on a Langley farm tour, Maan Farms is the place for you!

Keep the Farming Spirit Alive with Local Farms and Fruit/Veggie Stands
Once your family gets a taste of farm life, it’s going to be hard to return to your normal, mass-produced grocery store produce. So why not keep the farming spirit alive by making trips to your local fruit and veggie farm stands a part of your weekly or monthly routine?
Most of you likely live closer to fresh, organic, local farm-produced goodies than you realize. A quick Google search should reveal the stands closest to you, and you’ll now have a recurring adventure for the kiddos. And as an added bonus, you’ll ensure your family is eating nothing but the freshest fruits and veggies too – a win, win!
Why Your Family Needs a Langley Farm Tour
Farm tours are the perfect way to enjoy a taste of your local scenery. There are wonderful sights, great smells, amazing tastes, and an endless stream of fun things to keep the kiddos smiling and laughing for hours. Who knows…a trip to your local farm might be all the family needs to get back into nature and exploring our farming community.
So this weekend, grab those boots and hit the open road to the farm tour nearest you. I promise it’ll be an experience your family won’t soon forget!
