The land itself is beautiful, consisting of the fencing from the old horse farm that used to stand here, the beautiful pond walk in the back, large open fields. The architecture is stunning as well.. the natural curves and large windows accent the geography the buildings sit upon. The library is a beautiful place to relax and read, or get some serious work accomplished. The tea room was a delightful experience: the tea specialist was very knowledgeable during the tasting as well as delight to talk to in general. Definitely recommend the tasting. The kitchen offers very good organic food that is reasonably priced. Definitely a great place to go to escape the noise and take a step back and enjoy the serene landscape.

This place is hard to describe, because I have not seen anything really comparable. It is a blend of spiritual adventure park and an artwork by Christo. The whole area with the River Building is harmonious and perfectly integrated into the natural style. All materials are matched quality and successive. The grace and the coexistence of man and nature can be felt immediately. There are many activities that can be done: Quiet Room in the Sanctuary, study in the Library, eat at Common, Tea testing ceremony in Pavilion, playing basketball in the Court and football on the Athletic Field. Fantastic. And it is for free!

An incredible place. Fantastic architecture and beautiful grounds. Nice to spend a few minutes to a few hours here. Free wifi throughout and large tables with tons of natural light make this one of the best places to study and work in around the region. Employees always are extremely friendly. The coffee in the cafe is fantastic. If doing work, there are outlets at the tables in the library. Best of all it is completely free to enter and use the facilities!

Our boys are part of the Bridgeport Choir and they went and sang for the very first time. It was amazing. The boys did not want to leave after the event, they were very excited about the environment, hospitality and sunken basketball gymnasium. They keep asking when can we go back. I told them once the weather gets warmer, we will be there to enjoy the community activities.

A beautiful spot and innovative buildings however I cant help but think with a price tag of $120 million, if there was any sincerity in the foundations goal of social justice, the money could have been better spent targeting such issues as homelessness or food insecurity....rather than create a pet project for the super rich with limited utilitarian value.

Fantastic community space. The architecture alone is worth visiting (an hour by car from NYC). There are also a basketball court, a tea place, cafe (with light meals), and a small library, and an auditorium. You cannot really spend much time here though unless you are really into basketball.

A true example of Japanese modern architecture By a Pritzker architectural award winner. A great place to come and spend an afternoon with family and walk around the grounds. There is food, coffee shop and some sports venues that people from all ages will be sure to enjoy.

You might be wondering: What is this place? What is this place NOT? Library, church, quality cafeteria, full sized world class basketball court, auditorium, nature walks are all here. Pretty cool place. The building is a piece of art in itself as well.

Fantastic architectural experience by Japanese architecture firm SANAA. One-story structure organically moving along the hilly landscape with several public functions like a library or a tea house, all open and free to the public.

Grace Farms is like "A Field of Dreams." If you build it, they will come. Free and open to everyone. It is the newest reason why the town of New Canaan is called "The Next Station to Heaven." What an amazing place!

Free admission brings high quality recreational spaces to everyone, including those who may not normally have access to state of the art spaces like Grace Farms. A beautiful place to play, visit, study, or eat!

A beautiful place to spend time with family. Food was amazing and very reasonably. I came while visiting family in the area; I wish there was a resource like this near me.

Kind of a strange place. Beautiful, peaceful, Ill be back, but Im curious about its real purpose. I saw someone else comment about it being cultish, I can see that too.

Nice architecture designs and nature landscapes. Food is just alright. Its a good place to do work, but it does have a cult-like vibe.

Contemporary construct, with a retro vibe. Beautifully maintained space, with a graceful, yet spartan design. Visit it to know it.
