About
Hunt Club Farm is a family-run working farm on London Bridge Road in Virginia Beach that's been welcoming families for decades. Spread across acres of open pastureland, the farm is home to goats, pigs, chickens, donkeys, horses, and other barnyard animals that kids can interact with up close. Pony rides are a signature attraction, and the hands-on animal encounters give children a genuine taste of farm life without needing to drive hours outside the city.
The farm is best known for its massive fall festival, which runs through September and October. During that season, the property transforms with hayrides, a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, and a haunted trail for older visitors. The fall event draws thousands of visitors each weekend and is one of the most popular seasonal activities in the Virginia Beach area.
Families often make it an annual tradition.
Outside of fall, the farm operates on a more limited weekend schedule focused on animal encounters and pony rides. Summer camp programs give kids ages 5-12 an immersive multi-day farm experience with feeding animals, grooming horses, and exploring the property.
The grounds are rustic and unpaved in many areas, so expect dirt paths and uneven terrain. There's a small farm store on-site selling snacks and drinks, and picnic areas are available for families who bring their own food. The farm has a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that contrasts sharply with Virginia Beach's busier tourist attractions.
Plan to spend at least two hours here, more during the fall festival when there's substantially more to do.

Why Kids Love It
Kids go wild for the hands-on animal encounters — feeding goats, petting donkeys, and riding ponies. During fall, the corn maze and hayrides add a whole extra layer of excitement. It's one of those places where kids can run around freely and get genuinely dirty.
Pro Tips from Parents
- Arrive right at 10 AM on Saturdays to beat the crowds, especially during the fall festival season.
- Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty — the farm paths are unpaved.
- Bring cash for pony rides and some add-on activities that may not accept cards.
- During fall, come on a Sunday rather than Saturday for shorter lines at the corn maze and hayrides.
What to Bring
- Closed-toe shoes or boots
