One of the most beloved Raleigh party venues is a place that has been around for more than 100 years.

With a gorgeous carousel, a train, playgrounds, and much more in this pretty space, it’s ideal for a spring or summer birthday party.

Spring Haven Farm (Chapel Hill)
Spring Haven Farm is known for its goats and its fun calendar of events. Your little one’s birthday party could be on that calendar if you choose this delightful spot!
