Old McMicky's Farm

This farm is off the beaten path. Located at the end of Crescent rd off Gunn Hey in Odessa. Open to the public on weekends, they cater to school children during the week. We come here on a regular basis. I drive a charter school bus for Recreation Express. This farm is a multi purpose experience! They have farm animals a covered wagon tour of the acreage and a beautiful lake and view.

This is a tough one...I want to rate them better but not sure exactly how to. We went there this weekend (2 adults, an 11 yr old, and a 7 yr old). We did get $4 off for being healthcare workers, but it was still $56 total for all of us. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and our guide Emma was very sweet and knowledgeable. Unfortunately when we went we were not able to milk the cow (cookie) as she apparently wasn't wanting to that day. So what did we do? Well, we learned about some of Florida's native animals at the education station, went to the back and were able to see cookie and the new calf with her, watch the 7yr old get on a mini horse/pony and ride around for a couple of minutes, see donkeys, catch chickens, pet goats, see turkeys, pigs, a rabbit, and there was a slide for the kids to go down (only the 7 yr old went). Afterwards we decided it was basically an educational petting zoo. The rest of our group had smaller children with them, so there was some smaller kid crying and whining a bit...but neither you nor the farm can help that. The ponies were not big enough for the 11 yr old and they said they sometimes bring out the larger horses...not sure when though. The slide is also only for the kids. For the price, not really a good deal. Maybe if the cow was available and they had horses that everyone could ride, maybe? As I said though, the grounds are beautiful and it would be a nice place for a picnic. Perhaps if you're considering going, call ahead the day of to see if any of the "attractions" are closed.

My 2 year old grandson loved it and so did I!! Nice relaxed atmosphere and the employees are super!! We'll definitely return soon!!

This is a cute place for take the family to get out of the city and see some farm life.When you arrive, you are directed to join a tour. The tour goes to each area and spends 15-20 minutes there. All in all, it's a 1.5-2 hour experience for the price of admission.My almost-3 year old son enjoyed petting the chickens and rabbits, and he loved the farm maze, pony ride and tractor ride. The staff was friendly and willing to let my 1 year old daughter ride on a very short pony, so we got some cute pictures of that too.There's not a ton of walking, so I would advise against bringing a stroller as most areas are not paved, and you can't bring the stroller into the animal enclosures. I had my stroller but kept my daughter strapped to me instead. The distances were easy for the 2.75 year old to walk.The overall area is very pretty. It is on a lake, and there are picturesque trees by the lake. I could see this being a romantic place if you want a country style wedding.

We went with a group. There were two couples ahead of us (with our group), in line to pay. We waited 20 minutes to get to the desk to pay. Upon telling the woman we were there with our specific group, she proceeded to pick up a phone call on her cell phone & not acknowledge I was ready to pay. I stood there for another 4-5 minutes before my husband said "what is actually happening!" And we, along with other families, left. They are not a business prepared to handle large groups or process payment. An utter disaster in my opinion. And I know things move slower in the south, but a 10am arrival and scheduled tour time should be honored. At 10:22, no tickets, no tour and no acknowledgement of disorganization.

We took our grandkids and we all had a wonderful time! It's perfect for ages 2-7. I felt like I was at a sleep away camp. So much fun!

Amazing place to take the kids and family!!!! A full farm experience with milking a cow, catching chickens, goats, rabbits and more!!! Plus they teach the kids about every animal!

Animals are not treated kindly. A horse didn't want to ride with the kids and the handler smacked his head and pulled him around, injured animals as well.

amazing experience! Joselin, our tour lady, was fantastic, 2 hrs tour, kids loved it. thanks so much to McMikys farm for helping families to build memories together!

I think the idea is fun but the experience for us was horrible! We pulled into the drop off to ask where to park and an employee steps in front of the car and then tells us she was standing there so we didn't "plow into" a group of guests. Yay! Great way to start. Then you have to go from station to station with the group, which takes so long! The last station is pony riding. It takes a while, which is fine...but at this point kids are hungry and cranky. No snacks are allowed, understandable, but perhaps a controlled snack station with water available midway would be a good idea. While all these 4 year olds are waiting, the same woman, who later identified herself as a "middle school teacher" starts screaming about "all this crinkling (people sneaking snacks to keep the kids from melting down) and running around and talking" we're upsetting a horse. This horse was rearing up. It was not ready to be around 4 year olds. A few minutes later the same woman follows us out of the area and we told her the way she just screamed at a group of 4 year olds was inappropriate. She, again yelling, tells us we "must not be Christian women, that's right GOD." Mind you this is a party and a location with lots of parties of children. Many of different faiths and beliefs. Really unbelievable.
