Mass Audubon's Drumlin Farm - Lincoln, Massachusetts

cristina H.

It’s my first tiime coming to this place. We don’t pay anything as we have the memberships of the Mass Audubon. This place is great to visit as they have animals and hiking trails. Most visitors are family with children. Most people visit the animal barns but hiking trails are big enough that you only meet few people on the way.

First time here with my wife and son. $9 to get in for adults . It was a nice, little farm. Not too many people , parking was easy. Overall good experience.

To be clear, this is a working farm/wildlife sanctuary, not a zoo or petting zoo. That being said, it's still a great place to bring kids, to see and learn about the various farm animals they raise there (cows, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits), as well as some native species like foxes, skunks and various birds, and also learn about how crops are grown and harvested.

They offer a preschool and a summer camp, as well as other daily programming for visitors throughout the week. There are plenty of walking/nature trails and good picnic spots, as well as restrooms for visitors, but no snack bars or souvenir stands (again, this is not a zoo). There is a gift shop at the entrance that sells a small assortment of bottled beverages and frozen treats, nature-themed gifts/toys and childrens' books, with proceeds helping to fund the Massachusetts Audubon Society. You can also purchase meat and other seasonal products of the farm.

It gets busy in the Spring when the baby sheep and goats are born, so if you plan on visiting on a weekend during that time I'd recommend reserving a parking spot and buying tickets (or a yearly membership, if so inclined) ahead of time.

We frequent this place. It's very accessible. This time the birds cages had very exciting things: Hawks and owls. We also saw the red foxes and naturally all the farm animals. They had a farm stand, and we could see the fields they grow the vegetables for the farm stand. They also see honey, fresh eggs from the coops and meat. There were wild turkeys too. It's a small place but perfect for something close and interesting.

This place is the coolest! It is a beautiful and accessible place to walk with tons of mass-native animals to check out. My favorites were the foxes, sheep, and the red-tailed hawk. There is even a farm stand to get fresh meat and eggs and the most dangerous (for my wallet) gift shop. The prices at the shop are quite affordable!

My one note would be that the animals seem to need more enrichment in their enclosures with a couple pacing around their habitat or doing repetitive behaviors.

We had soooo much fun and we will definitely be back well worth the hour car ride to come here, we’re upset we didn’t find it sooner. Glad they put together this program during April vacation!

I have been a member here and have visited may times. I was excited to tell colleagues at MIT that she was attending. My daughter went to the summer camp and ended up with bruises and a strange experience. There was confusion about the after camp, and I was told each week that there was "new staff". The counselors are teenagers, and I am not sure how they are screened for maturity.
