Frying Pan Farm Park is about 10 miles from the City of Fairfax. There is no admission fee. The farm is open 9am-5pm and the overall park is open dawn to dusk. It's great for all ages! I recommend you go to the Visitor Center first (open 9:30am-4:30pm) at 2739 West Ox Road so you can learn a little more about what the park offers. There is cow milking daily in Kidwell Barn at 4pm. Right now, we have a new calf and two new lambs.

Hi! Frying Pan does not offer golf carts for rental. Here are some other things relating to this concept. The Park Authority has a policy (p. 102) which states that small vehicles like that can only be driven by staff at the park. Also, the public is not permitted to bring small vehicles like that to the park. Thanks for writing.

A nearby stream is still called Frying Pan; the small area around it took on the name as well. The origin of the name of the stream is unknown, although it may relate to the copper mining that went on in the area.
