Reviews of Pioneer Farms Blacksmith Shop
"I took the craft a knife spike class. The instructors were great, informative, and fun to be around. I will definitely sign up for another class in the future. I'm super proud of the knife I made."
"Fun to walk around and explore and read about historical homes and lives. Kids love to pet the donkeys and see the longhorns, chickens, and horses. Small general store with treats and drinks. We do not recommend visiting if it's over 80°, it gets hot out there! :-)"
"Recently did a class called Make Sparks Fly — it’s couples blacksmithing. No experience necessary. It was a blast. Our instructor (Ken) was great and guided us through the entire process. Super fun date night, even if the “hearts” we made didn’t quite resemble the intent. Bring lots of water (1.5L / person) and maybe some bandaids for afterwards. I had a blister on my had from pounding with the hammer. I regret nothing. Highly recommend."
"If you're a Texan, or are here just to visit this beautiful State, you really need to Visit Pioneer Farms to get the true Texas experience. A must do in Texas!"
"This place is adorable. Very interesting, educational, and really takes you back to the 1800's."
