Williams Tree Farm

Forced family event turns to great experience. This place has such a great selection of pre cut or cut your own. Seems like the majority is Frazier but we went pine this year for the first time. Loved the different areas spread all over to cut your own. They even have atvs driving around to take your cut tree to the shake station. If you have little kids there's some fun stuff and they have drinks and food.Happy we ventured here. Worth the 1-1/2 hour drive.

Simply put, this place is the best around! Our family has been coming here for about four decades for Christmas trees and it is one of our favorite traditions of the whole Christmas season. Staff who make you feel like family, and a wonderful selection of long needle, short needle, flocked, pre-cut, and any other kind of tree you can think of. Free wagon rides and saws to use if you want to go cut your own (which I would highly recommend for the full experience!).They have something for everyone here, from lots of food (sometimes there are food trucks here), snacks, holiday drinks, kids train ride rides, basically a small zoo, a maze, VR Santa ride, and more. They also have a large main cabin area to hang out, eat, sit by the fire, and also do some shopping.All in all, couldn't be a more special place. Can't recommend it enough.

We've been driving an hour and a half, each way, for years just to buy our trees here. It's a wonderful family owned business, where every single employee greets you with a genuine smile and "hello." They do make you feel truly welcomed and at home. They have a huge inventory. Everything from ornaments to children's books, decorated or undecorated wreaths, trees either pre-cut or cut your own.

Well organized and well stocked. It was a bit of a hike from the northwest suburbs of Chicago but oh so worth it! Tractor ride to fields filled with beautiful trees! We've spent the last few years finding that most suburban cut your own tree farms have been over picked to the point of having to search for hours for a decent tree. Williams farm has excellent stock in the field and great customer care. Whole experience was awesome!

This place has a wonderful selection of trees and the staff that work here are very nice and helpful. Their prices on wreaths and roping are very fair. I also think it's great you can bring your own dogs (they have to be leashed at all times). My only issue is the presence of a camel. I don't understand how/why a camel would be on a farm if it wasn't being used for entertainment purposes. Given that they have farm animals, Santa, hot chocolate, etc., I think the kids have plenty of things to entertain them.

This place is pretty awesome. It's virtues are almost too many to list, I can imagine if I were a kid I'd practically faint with the excitement this place could generate. A Santa handing out candy canes, fresh fudge, a sleigh-ride with horses, a playground, Emus, a Christmas shop, other cool stuff and the opportunity to pick your own tree from a 350 acre lot and cut it down yourself. Frankly I'm 30 and was pretty excited myself.They have a variety of different trees (Scotch Pine - Spruce etc) with a variety of price ranges. If you go for the basic Scotch Pine and pick one under 9ft then you'll only pay $29 (plus $1.75 for shaking and bailing) which is frankly fantastic value. You get to borrow a decent bow saw, wander out amongst the many trees, pick one at your leisure and cut it down - drag it to the side of the road and someone will swing by on a snowmobile and take it back for you to shake and bail it before you load it into your car.Really good friendly fun and really good value.

Excellent experience. Dogs wandering is the best thing! You get dog therapy with very calm Golden Retrievers when you get out of your car if you are lucky. Owner was awesome to deal with when I had a special request. Have gone for years right at 8 AM when it opens. After that it will be packed because the secret is out!

Smell the green!Williams Tree Farm brings the true Christmas spirit to the season. Located West of Rockton, IL, this business goes back generations and is the backdrop to a well deserved annual tradition or one that's in the making.Acres of evergreens off the country road give note that you're about to encounter a high-spirited place full of joy, food, animals, whimsy, memories, and Christmas trees. The main log-like building welcomes all to a warm fireplace, the smell of pine, and glistening lights draped on dozens of trees. I'm one that likes adventure and prefers to cut my own evergreen. But for those that prefer to shop among the best in show, the tree barn is full of trees that are priced to sell and recently harvested. Not your style and like to rough it? Take a sleigh ride out to the field and find yourself a baller of a tree that will make Clark Griswold choke with envy. And, did I mention the ride is free? Yeah dog. Speaking of dogs, which you'll see them chasing the horses, and four legged animals, the tree farm houses a load of animals from reindeer, a camel, emu, wallaby, goats, donkey, ducks, etc. Unlike other places you can see and feed all of the animals for free. Lots of opportunity for photo ops, selfies, proposals, and moments that will make you think back on what an old fashioned Christmas is all about.Grab some hot chocolate or hot cider after you've scored the perfect fir and huddle up to a table with family and friends in the cafe or browse the gift shop. What I like the most is there isn't a rush. It's the perfect place to appreciate family, friends, and the reason for the season.

I love the ambiance, the decorations, and everything else; one could say this is the perfect place to have a wedding. I will say the extensive embarrassment I acquired by wetting myself was not ideal, but that was kinda unrelated to the venue.

What a great friendly family owned business. We went and cut our own Christmas tree down and everyone was so helpful. The prices are really good. We will make this a yearly trip! Highly recommend it
