Feeling housebound? Want to see a bunch of rambunctious baby pigs close to home?
Take your kids on a quick nature interlude that does not take advanced logistical planning.
Hop in the car and buzz on over to Kidwell Farm at Frying Pan Park in Herndon VA.
Not only are there baby pigs, but lots of other storybook type animals who are extremely good at making all the appropriate farm animal sounds that you have been attempting to immitate while reading to your children.
Come on over and let them hear what a real pig sounds like.
This a Fairfax County Park Farm that actually plants crops and raises animals for you to see.
The live turkey that is presented to the president of the United States on Thanksgiving retires safely here.
Located off West Ox road near its intersection with Centreville road, the farm is just outside of Herndon on the Chantilly side.
Here is the address for your GPS and the phone #: 2709 West Ox Road • Herndon, Virginia 20171 • 703-437-9101
Admission is free to Frying Pan Farm Park and Kidwell Farm.

Our young adult children still stop in to check on the baby animals and relive their childhood memories from years of visits. Me too :-)
