There are few businesses that have the integrity that Carrigan Farms has. My husband and I planned our destination wedding here with Terrell. We had a virtual tour last fall and decided on a smaller weekday wedding. Throughout the whole process, communication was top notch. All questions were answered in a timely manner and staff was extremely helpful. They were already 5 stars in my mind. Then, the unthinkable happened. My dad had a massive stroke a week before the wedding and wasn't expected to recover. This was a destination wedding for everyone, so all of sudden, my guest count started diminishing as my immediate family needed to stay by his side. We called Carrigan just to give them a heads up and Kelly and Doug's response was... shocking. Not only did they say that they hadn't ordered the food yet, and could wait until the last minute for us to give them an updated headcount, but they even offered to move our wedding to another weekday if needed. After all the horror stories you hear about getting nickel and dimed through weddings, Carrigan was a light. We went on with the wedding, and staff was so attentive to everyone, especially Johnny. The venue was perfect, the setting was beautiful, the children had so much fun playing on the beach, and I'm still hearing compliments about the food. An amazing event for booking Carrigan Farms sight unseen and without tasting the food (we live in Seattle). Thanks again, Carrigan! My dad passed 4 hours before my ceremony, and I'm so grateful I have the wonderful memories of this happy event to think of.

I I really love this place! The food is good, the water is clean and beautiful, and the whole area is a great value. The jumping cliffs are a lot of fun, and overall it’s an awesome place to spend the day. The only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is the inconvenience at the entrance. They only accept cash for admission, which can be difficult for visitors who are from out of town and may not have cash on hand. Accepting credit cards would make the experience much more convenient. Other than that, it’s a fantastic place and definitely worth visiting.

Must visit if you need some floating & swimming. I’ve been to many a swimming hole and public pool, this is easily up there in my top 3 or 5. Great staff, great organization and management, excellent facilities, clean all around. Old quarry with modern “upgrades”. Awesome snack bar & cafe. Plan to spend a good 2-4 hours here. Book ahead of time, fill out waivers. Bring your own floaties. Bring towels. They have numerous seating options to include laying in grass, covered patio, and open tables. They do serve alcohol and beers, they have a killer kitchen. Highly recommended.

Good Place for a nice day at and in the water. Be it with friends or as a family. I was here with my daughter and we Both liked although the time in the water was Limited due to rain and thunder (rule at Quarry if thunder and lighting is in a close distance everyone needs to leave the water until no thunder and lighting appears for 30min) Everyone needs to wear a life jacket (plenty for free available), except you do the short (3-4min swim test ): Jump in water from small rock, swim a couple of feet to pontoon, stay above the water for a minute, swim to the exit (approx. 60 feet max). Food is priced ok and you get voucher with your ticket for 5$. You can bring chairs, but umbrella makes no sense if you stay on the small beach style sand area since sand not deep enough. To use the swim rope you need to be able to do at least one pull up. Look up there awesome FAQ for any other question. Maybe one not clear to me from the FAQ you can also pay via cheque in addition to the standard via cash. All in all a good place, a bit limited in space and a bit pricey especially on the weekend

This was such a fun experience. The food was exceptionally good. I kid you not, the best hamburger that I have ever tasted and strawberry frozen drinks were delicious. The atmosphere is family and kid friendly and non-smoking. They provide life jackets free of charge but I recommend bringing your own. We reserved a table in advance and I believe that we got the best table under shelter there. I suggest that you reserve your visit in advance in order to get $5 off meals for each ticket and to go ahead and reserve a table. My only concern was that we had to leave early because the bathrooms were not clean and I had to go really bad.
