Great time at the village in the summer. We have been for Christmas but now there are lots of summer activities! Sand mountain, trike track, pedal bikes, zip lines goats, train rides, bunnies, tree maze and fire for making food. Kids had a blast!!!

We love sloans... We have gone every year for over 10 years for our trees. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because we like the fact that they weren't commercialized. This year the prices increased (which we expected) but they keep adding activities for the kids (which is pricy when your a family with 4 kids). We used to go to village 2 so our kids didn't even know those things existed, however they have added them on that side which was harder to tell them no. But when paying 70.00 for a Christmas tree (which is beautiful and worth it) I couldn't afford the prices for the "fun stuff". Plus we have to drive from out of town to get there.

I’ve waited a couple days to post this, but it’s still really bothering me and I think I should warn others. Our family has gone here for the past couple of years with no issues other than pricey trees. Today (last weekend) was a bit of a shock though. A lady, who I believe to be Paula, told us anything tagged “DO NOT TOUCH” or wrapped in caution tape was not available this weekend. My family and I found a nice tree outside of the caution taped area with no tags on it and took our family picture. I proceeded to cut it down when Paula came out of no where screaming to stop. She was visibly annoyed. She then explained that we can’t have any of the trees from the section we were in because they were supposed to be cautioned off but she “didn’t feel like doing them all.” Is what she said verbatim. We saw other families cutting trees in this section, and there were also fresh cut stumps all around us indicating trees have already been taken from this area already. She also acknowledged this and made it seem like we were the dumb ones. She never apologized for her lack of communication, but had the audacity to give us a lecture on Christmas trees and how she specifically told us not to pick the certain kind we were about to cut even though it was not appropriately labeled due to her laziness. She was very condescending and belittling, making it seem like we were the ones in the wrong even though we were just listening to what she told us. She continued to be rude with us while the other staff with her looked very uncomfortable and even apologized after on Paula’s behalf. We have a family member who was just diagnosed with cancer and this was supposed to be a fun distraction for the whole family. Instead it made some of my family cry on the way home and ruined what little Christmas we have this year together as a family.
I’ve read in other comments that this lady has a very poor set of customer service/social skills and I really don’t know why they keep hiring her back every year.
Other than this one particular event, we have loved this place for years. Just look out for Paula, not a very good communicator and overly aggressive for no reason at all. So very disappointed with how we were treated today.

Been here a few years ago, this year wow..... the entrance is 20 bucks for someone over 3 years of age so a family you are spending $100 before you even get a tree! Absolutely ridiculous for what they offer.
Wait in a line for over an hour to be told we are in a cash line. Then move over to the debit line to be told our machines don't work. Multiple people in the line left and had enough. Won't be back again.

My children and I have come to Sloan's for the Christmas tree cull and fire of joy for over ten years. It's always been fun and is part of Christmas tradition to find a Griswald tree, have me cut it and then wrestle it home and into the house. This year sadly tree pricing was increased to $70 and the selection although lovely and shaped well, nothing was over 7'. Was very disappointed not to have access to larger trees based on the direction we were given. It's the old hot dog down a hallway adage as putting a small tree in a principal room that has 12' high ceilings is not tradition here nor does it fill the room. Hopefully next year the selection will be better and the drive worth it.

Was great, staff is friendly and helpfull, if your looking for a tree only there are plenty, numerous varieties and sizes to chose from. Additionally, the kids can enjoy various childrens rides and treats.

Great Place, just like when we were kids!

If you live in the area, visiting Sloan's is a great family tradition to start for Christmas. Lots of activities for kids I closing multiple playgrounds, train rides, and campfires for the whole family. Highly recommend!
