Because Seneca Farms is such a popular place to visit, especially during the summer, you'll see that they now have a stunning pavilion that's great for outdoor dining.

While we love dining inside, there's no denying how great it is to enjoy a meal outside in the shade while the summer breeze is going and we're enjoying our favorite meal of the season.

And dining outside also means that you'll be a step away from the adorable photo opportunities that await our younger visitors of Seneca Farms.
