This quaint, former gentleman's farm is a must visit if you have young kids (even if you don't!). The hudson valley has many farms, but Muscoot is one of my favorites!
This small working farm in Katonah, NY feels like it was made for children with all the activities and easy to walk terrain (it's pretty stroller friendly...however, be aware that all the paths are dirt and can get muddy!). It's one of my favorite places to go and let me toddler get some energy out! They have pretty much every farm animal you could ask for; cows, horses, goats, sheep, ducks, etc. My daughter loves the giant pigs! I think it's great that she is able to get up close to so many different animals.
The farm also offers many workshops and events (many of them are free!). In the fall they have events such as pumpkin picking, hayrides and The Boo Walk (a free scavenger hunt for kids!). Spring, they have sheep shearing (Mother's Day) and a farmers market (every Sunday from May-Oct.). Check out their calendar to see all the fun events!

When it's a nice day we love to take a picnic to enjoy (they have many picnic tables...we like the one by the ducks the best!). They also have their own small food stand to buy food and drinks. No better way to spend a gorgeous sunny day! There are also several hiking trails and don't forget to take a peek inside the original barns! Muscoot Farm has certainly become a favorite place in our family, I hope you'll take a trip there to discover it for yourselves!
K and one of the horses, Crystal, having an "aww" moment :)
