Great place to bring the kids. Great educational pieces about milk production. There is a petting zoo, playgrounds, you can see the barn and the babies. The food is cafe sandwiches that are so good. And an ice cream scoop counter. They also carry other Maine made products. Great place to also grab some Maine Made souvenirs
A must if youre in the area! Great for all ages. Really big space, lots of animals to see and pet. You can spend quite some time here.The ice cream is incredible... Like soft serve! The cream, milk and cheese are all great... You can also buy meat.I stocked up on different flavors of ice cream to take with us!
Pleasant place to see some farm animals, have an ice cream treat, use the playground. Optional pay extra for the petting zoo, hay rides. Grounds are beautifully kept. Good local fun.
We visited Smiling Hill Farm for an Easter Egg hunt and it was so much more than we expected. The staff is amazing! Everyone we met was smiling, helpful and kind. The animals were great and their setups and living spaces were so fun to look at. We love it here and will definitely be coming back! And what a surprise to walk through the little shop and see a cat sleeping on a shelf alongside some chinchillas and a bearded dragon. Thank you Smiling Hill for a great day! We will be back soon for another visit!
We love to visit Smiling Hill Farm! They have a huge assortment of ice cream flavors with something to please everyone. They also have delicious milk fresh from their cows and our family really likes the blueberry, coffee, and strawberry flavors. You can wander around and see their gardens and animals too, while you enjoy your ice cream.
Very fun Mom&Pop petting zoo, certainly worth the price.Also not entirely out of the realm of possibility that they have the best ice cream in New England. The Butter Pecan was delightful.
I grew up going here and at 40 it still has the same feeling. Love it here
Nice, friendly, family oriented farm experience. High quality ice cream and diary selection. Friendly staff. Beautiful views. Great place.
Cute place to take the kids and to learn a little about the animals.
The land was beautiful. layout was well labeled. The cows were so so sweet in the petting area. Very generous hand kisses from the moos.There was a young cow in petting zoo in a tiny enclosure with attached igloo like enclosure and couldnt move around/didnt seem right.Worse, the baby cows in adjacent barn were also tied up on like 1.5 leads and were unable to move at an even lesser extent. It was pretty depressing.Meat for sale next to the ice cream was pretty disturbing.
We always have the best time! The flavored milks are a huge hit in this house. Its a great spot to spend an afternoon with your little ones.
Best homemade sandwiches. 1 sandwich can be adulterated. Ice cream is great. Many flavors to choose from.
This place is an absolute blast and the fresh milk and ice cream are unforgettable. We spent hours here on a recent trip and know that we could spend hours more. Our older daughter fell in love with Mittens the cat and still talks about her weeks later. Well definitely be back next time we visit Maine!
They take great care of their animals, lots of stuff for the kids to do. Amazing ice cream, milk, and other dairy products. Parking is bad but other than that this farm is amazing.
A goat let me hold my forehead against hers for over a minute. It was the most cost effective therapy I have ever experienced. The sandwiches and ice cream were above average and inexpensive as well :)
The cheese curds are heaven sentTry the plain then the Tuscan Herb. Ummmmm
The animals here are kept in horrible, filthy conditions. Biting flies are all over the animals, and the calves are kept in tiny, dirty pens away from their mothers. It was one of the saddest things Id ever seen and I would never want to bring a child here. I always thought this was a respectable animal zoo, but I guess I was wrong.
Great ice cream, cheese and milk products. A great place for little ones to visit.
Great staff, Great food! We always go to bring back milk bottles and get more amazing milk! Kids love the playground and the icecream!
Amazing place. Perfect for entire family. Will definitely be back.
Greatest chocolate milk ever! Very fun farm with a childrens play area, ice cream, and other dairy products. Their specialty milks are pretty good but the whole chocolate is the best and thickest milk around, essentially melted chocolate ice cream.
Although most Mainers likely know Smiling Hill for its glass-bottled milk, they also make their own cheese curds and delicious ice cream. You would never guess that this green oasis is situated just down the road from the Portland Jetport, but its nearby location makes for an easy afternoon getaway from the South Portland crowds. After you step inside the large, red barn to choose from 20 or more ice cream varieties, be sure to tote your cone out back to meet the animals.
Some of the best ice cream and friendliest people in the world! Made my husband and I the happiest of newlyweds!
It was a very hot day in early June, but there was plenty of shade and plenty of animals meet and feed! Its a great place for younger kids (and the adult kind, as well). I highly recommend finishing your SHF experience with a chocolate frappe made chocolate milk and ice cream!
Great place to get dairy products. Ice cream and the flavored milk are the best.
Awesome food at great pricesMy only complaint is todays lack of calling out order numbers over the loud speaker. Its impossible to hear your number being called from the kitchen when there are 50 squawking women and their kids running around in the lobby
Awsome place . I made a friend . Awsome gor kids . fun fun fun
Their ice cream is absolutely delicious! And their blueberry milk in the glass jars is outstanding. What a relaxing, experience.
Enjoyable time with both my sons(2yrs)&(19yrs) I know they loved it especially all the animals‼️
We had a great time with our 2yr old. Adorable and well cared for animals. Yummy ice cream
A wonderful gem. The ice cream and milk is great! Love seeing the baby goats and cows
Nice milk, fresh milk and ice-cream.. Great environment
Great dairy products. Best ice cream in the area. Beautiful farm. It’s great for a family to wander around seeing animals and getting ice cream. Their milk is delicious too, definitely try all the flavors!
Friendly and efficient. Get their flavored milk!
Great ice cream plus a real working dairy farm.
A good friend bought this for me & droped it off, (hence we’re having a debate on if Oakhurst is better than this brand ) i was really hesitant at first because I am very loyal to Oakhurst… However Oakhurst is losing its game it is not tasting very good, so I decided to try this it is by far hands-down the best chocolate milk I think I’ve ever tasted it’s the thick it’s riches creamiest chocolate milk I’ve ever had that it made me go on the website just to see where it’s made
I cant hold the bunnies makes me sad my daughter loves feeding the goats
Love this place. First time ever
Other then being looked at strangely for buying $70 worth of milk products...THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC! Everything is homemade with love. Cheeses to yogurt and ice cream. COFFEE MILK is to die for. Wish I could have them make monthly deliveries out of state. Must try if in Maine!!!
Fantastic family outing! Great for the kiddos. Interesting too!
The BEST milk. Its sooooo amazing...
They have the best milk. It’s all so good that I end up drinking more of it than I should.
One of my favorite places, their many delicious varieties of milk and cheese products is rivaled only by the many flavors of ice cream. All served up by the always smiling and joyful faces of the staff.
Always good ice cream.Great farm setting.
Great place to take our granddaughter. They loved petting the animal.
Their ice cream, milk (Im addicted to their blueberry milk) n food are always something that I look forward to enjoying 😋
Best quality products, wonderful staff, lovely farm area to explore alone or with family. My puppy saw cows for the first time there yesterday! Many delicious ice cream flavors too! Highly recommend.
Lots to see and learn with young children, and many different animals to interact with! There is a petting area with goats and sheep, and many smaller animals to see close up. After you feed the ponies, pigs, or goats, complete your visit with a sandwich or a generous-sized ice cream with many flavors too choose from. We have been here several times with kids age 0-5 and it is always a pleasure. Stroller friendly in many areas, with signs to indicate where wheelchairs or strollers are not recommended, but know that you will largely be moving over grass or gravel once you get beyond the parking areas.
A wonderful asset to the greater Portland area! The best butter around, not to mention the ice cream.
I mean... happy farm animals, really great ice cream and other dairy products, occasional goat yoga, areas for the kids to play, friendly barnyard cats wandering around. Whats not to love. This is quintessential wholesome Maine comfort. Go on a weekend for goat yoga (reserve a spot in advance). Then stay for the chocolate milk. Or the peanut butter ice cream, or blueberry, or mandarin chocolate, or raspberry truffle, or actually maybe just all of them.
Brought my nieces and enjoyed everything about this farm. Lunch was excellent, followed by some tasty ice cream. Feeding the baby goats was a treat and the variety of animals was fun for everyone. Wanted to take the wagon to the pumpkin patch but two tired toddlers nixed that. Will definitely be going back.
Awesome experience, food, chocolate milk!
It is really nice place!!! I had one of my cross country race’s there. After the meet I had there ice cream and it was one of the best I had ever tasted!!! Go check them out.
My husband and I took our two year old son today and we had an absolute blast! We did the barnyard exhibit and we had so much fun! We saw so many different types of animals and farm animals. We were able to interact with goats and sheep (which our son LOVED). After we had lunch and some ice cream (best ice cream ever.) Overall it was a perfect time!
Awesome food milk and ice cream!
Great food and friendly staff..Cant wait to visit in the Spring!
Always a great time when visiting this farm! Lots of animals to look at and explore with in their barn. They usually have petting areas available for the goats and some sheep roaming around in their other gated areas. I like reading the names of all the animals and finding out when they were born.After exploring in the barnyard, you must stop inside the store and get some lunch and/or ice cream! Wonderful variety of things to choose from. Great experience. All the milk flavors are delicious!Highly recommend!
We took grandma out for some there home made ice cream and the staff was so nice! We then took a walk through the petting area but we didnt feed the animals do to the Covid 19 virus. We had a great time just the same! The smells of the fresh air, the blue skys, cows off in the pastures. Wow what a glorious sight to see and smell.
Worth the visit. Amazing working farm with rich history it is awesome to see a farm still thriving from the 1700s in spite of the city surrounding it.The farm. The animals. The ice cream. The milk! Try it all you will not be disapppinted!
Delicious farm fresh ice cream and great environment for kids!
Very friendly employees, amazing ice cream, and the lunch menu had a great selection to order from. A great place to bring your family as well. Best place to bring your kids for some outdoor fun.
Really good icecream and very friendly staff!
Nice place to go for kids to see.
A great place for the kids to see animals close up and some homemade ice cream. I would say a better experience and more convenient the the gray animal farm.
My Daughter Loved the baby Goats
Great place to visit for kids and adults
Yummy yummy ice cream
Great deli style food and Great ice cream!
Amazing products!! Beautiful area. Very friendly staff!!
Great tasting milk!! Many different flavors to choose from. Ice cream is the best also.
Love this place. Always something different with the best flavored milks around.
Great local farm store. Loads of locally produced products and a very friendly and helpful staff. The ice cream from here is amazing to say the least.
Great place to babies and toddlers
Best ice cream in town! Great flavors, love the ginger, chocolate and strawberry the best. Friendly and well staffed, rarely have to wait in a long line.
