Freddy Hill Farms and Family Fun Center in Montgomery County to Close at End of 2025 Season

Make plans to visit a beloved Montgomery County attraction before it closes at the end of the 2025 season.

Freddy Hill Farms and Freddy's Family Fun Center, at 1440 Sumneytown Pike in Towamencin Township, announced on its website on Friday, March 7, that the business will cease operations at the end of this season after 53 years of serving the community. 

Freddy Hill's owners, the Seipt family, said they look forward to retirement and expressed appreciation for the many community supporters and customers over the years. 

The family entertainment complex, with its miniature golf courses, a driving range, and batting cages, opened on Saturday, March 8. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

According to a North Penn Now report, Freddy Hill Farms and the Fun Center are situated on a 94-acre parcel owned by Freddy Hill Ventures LP, which has been assessed for $1.8 million. The land itself is not protected farmland.

According to Towamencin Township's December 2024 draft comprehensive plan update, any changes in ownership for the property location would call for the township to revise its Future Land Use Map to change the farm's parcels from agriculture to residential/open space.

In a review of Towamencin Township's Planning Commission meeting minutes from August 2024, consultants updated supervisors on their draft comprehensive plan. They demonstrated that the Freddy Hill Farm area could present opportunities for residential use and land preservation for some of the areas. 

Based on the minutes, the consultant told township planners that Freddy Hill consists of approximately 120 acres of land zoned R-175 Residential District. 

"They could potentially get 150 units developed if they choose, but the thought process is instead of having a minimum lot area of 30,000 square feet, it could be a minimum lot area of 15,000 square feet, and then the other areas can create more open space. This potentially gives the developer an incentive to keep open space," the minutes stated.

Back in the ‘80s, Saturday mornings were sacred. It was the one time of the week kids had the TV all to themselves. No parents yelling about chores or bills, no news anchors going on about politic. Just pure kid fun in the form of cartoons. These weren’t just any cartoons either; these were shows so epic, they made waking up early on a weekend feel worth it. If you were lucky, you’d grab a bowl of your favorite sugary cereal, plop down in front of the TV, and let the magic happen.

In the ‘80s Saturday morning cartoons had it all! Action, comedy, and sometimes a random PSA about how not to be a jerk to your friends. They had characters you wished you could be, like a sword-wielding hero or a cool mutant turtle with ninja skills. The stories were wild, the animation was colorful (for the time), and the theme songs? Certified bangers. Seriously, some of those intros still live rent-free in my head decades later.

The best part? These Saturday morning cartoons shows had no shame in being completely over the top. They’d mix robots with dinosaurs, throw in some aliens, and add a plot about saving the planet for good measure. But that’s what made them awesome, they were ridiculous, and we loved them for it. Even now, thinking about those Saturday mornings hits me with a wave of nostalgia so strong I can almost taste the Cap’n Crunch.

He-Man wasn’t just jacked—he was the guy. Fighting Skeletor in a world of magic and monsters, He-Man made you believe yelling “By the power of Grayskull!” could fix anything. The show was cheesy but in the best way.

Robots turning into cars, planes, and everything else? Genius. Optimus Prime was the dad you always wanted, and Megatron made being bad look cool. It was the ultimate battle of good versus evil with explosions.

Four mutant turtles trained in martial arts by a giant rat? Sure, why not! They ate pizza, kicked butt, and had catchphrases like “Cowabunga!” What’s not to love?

Lion-O and the gang brought a mix of sci-fi and fantasy to your screen. With their epic battles and that wild “ThunderCats, ho!” battle cry, they had you hooked. Plus, Snarf was everyone’s weird little sidekick.

“Knowing is half the battle!” If you watched G.I. Joe, you probably still say that line. The team of elite soldiers fought Cobra and taught life lessons at the same time. A true classic.
