Mainstay Farm promises a day full of fun for families. While it is popular among most visitors for its fun-filled activities, the farm is most well-known for its Christmas tree picking events, which attracts quite a crowd during the festive season. If you're here during the rest of the year, participate in their fascinating activities, be it wagering on a flock of sheep to win a race, or bringing your young 'uns to excavate the earth at the farm. There are also pedal carts, a fishing pond, hayrides, jumping pillows, slides, ziplines and a refreshment zone for much-needed refueling.
The beauty of Texas' nature can be experienced first-hand with a hike through this preserve. With guided and self-guided tours available along the ten miles of wooded trails, outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Escarpment Nature Preserve, the highest point in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Along the way, you can view ponds, wildflowers, and a butterfly garden before arriving at vistas and an observation tower. The trails vary in difficulty and are all natural terrain paved with rock, mulch, or dirt. They are designed for foot traffic only; bikes and roller blades are not allowed. Hikes can last anywhere from 15 minutes to three hours, depending on the trail selected. A snack bar, gift shop, and amphitheater are also located on the grounds.
