Phillips Farms- Cary
Phillips Farms in Cary just opened for the Spring season every Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM and it is the perfect weekend outing during this awesome weather! They have a farmers market and an action-packed Family Fun Park with something for everyone to enjoy. At the farmers market guests can find grass fed beef, freshly made baked goods, fresh produce and more from local vendors.
The Family Fun Park is filled with activities for all ages, including two giant bounce pillows, a mega slide and other large slides, cow tractor rides, wagon rides, giant roller racers, pedal bikes, mini golf, a petting zoo, a corn play box, fish feeding, duck races, and so much more. You could truly spend all day here! Admission to the Fun Park is $15 per person, and tickets are only available at the on-site ticket booth. Admission includes one free ride on the Mega Slide, and then it is $5 to go down unlimited times- this is definitely a favorite for kids ages 5 and up!
There are lots of delicious treats to enjoy around the farm, including freshly made chocolate-covered strawberry cups, shaved ice, and kettle korn. If you’re just coming for BBQ food, no admission ticket is needed. Phillips Farms features an on-site food truck from Dampf Good BBQ! This is one of the best Texas style BBQ in the area with meats smoked for 15 hours over oak wood! Meats include brisket, smoked ribs, turkey breast, pulled pork, bacon brisket, pork ribs and sausage, along with sides like smoked Mac n cheese and loaded mashed potato salad. The line is super long because of how amazing their food is, but you can skip the line by ordering online before 10 AM the day of your visit!
Phillips Farms has some upcoming themed Saturdays—April 26 is Tractor Day, where guests can get up close to real tractors and enjoy themed fun, and May 5 is Strawberryfest, a celebration of all things strawberry. Later in the year, the farm has a giant corn maze and a beautiful sunflower field, making Phillips Farms a go-to destination all year long!
